澳门六合彩资料库 Davis is leading a $15 million research project to accelerate wheat breeding in response to climate change.February 08, 2022 - 9:30amAmy M Quinton/food/news/uc-davis-lead-15-million-research-climate-change-resistant-wheat澳门六合彩资料库 Davis Team Identifies Wheat Gene That Increases Yield
/blog/uc-davis-team-identifies-wheat-gene-increases-yield
<p>A team of scientists from University of California, Davis, has identified a new gene variant in wheat that can increase the amount of the grain produced, new <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1009747">research</a> published in the journal PLOS Genetics finds. </p>
<p>Wheat is a staple of food diets worldwide and the gene discovery could allow farmers to grow more food without increasing land use. Increased yield could also lower consumer prices, making the crop more accessible. </p>February 02, 2022 - 10:59amAndy Fell/blog/uc-davis-team-identifies-wheat-gene-increases-yieldGene Discovery May Halt Worldwide Wheat Epidemic

<p>University of California, Davis, researchers have identified a gene that enables resistance to a new devastating strain of stem rust, a fungal disease that is hampering wheat production throughout Africa and Asia and threatening food security worldwide.</p>November 16, 2017 - 7:00amAmy M Quinton/food/news/gene-discovery-may-halt-worldwide-wheat-epidemic-0Genome of Wheat Ancestor Sequenced
/food/news/genome-wheat-relative-sequenced
<p>Sequencing the bread wheat genome has long been considered an almost insurmountable task, due to its enormous size and complexity. Yet it is vitally important for the global food supply, providing more than 20 percent of the calories and 23 percent of the protein consumed by humans.</p>
<p>Now, an international team of scientists led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, has come a step closer to solving the puzzle by sequencing the genome of a wild ancestor of bread wheat known as <em>Aegilops tauschii</em>, a type of goatgrass<em>.</em></p>November 15, 2017 - 11:00amAmy M Quinton/food/news/genome-wheat-relative-sequencedClimate Change Will Cut Cereal Yields, Model Predicts

<p><em>As the campus nears its 2008鈥�09 <a href="http://centennial.ucdavis.edu/">centennial celebration</a>, we take a look back at what was happening 100 years ago.</em></p>
<p>Even before the first buildings were finished 鈥� and more than a year before the first students would arrive 鈥� the University Farm began laying the groundwork for its first research projects.</p>
<p>澳门六合彩资料库 scientists dug experimental irrigation ditches and planted varieties of wheat, oats, barley and tomatoes. Soon to follow would be test crops of sugar beets, legumes and an array of fruit and almond trees.</p>August 15, 2007 - 9:14amSusanne Rockwell/news/seeds-science
