Himalayan grain demonstrates the potential of pangenome-guided breeding for higher yields and adaptability

Per Phys.org, scientists from Murdoch University's Centre for Crop and Food Innovation have participated in a landmark proof-of-concept research project demonstrating how pangenome-guided breeding can reunite stress tolerance and higher yields—two traits that typically involve trade-offs. The research examined a Himalayan grain and points to the potential of this breeding strategy for achieving both crop adaptability and productivity.
