Scholarship Description: Call for Presentations Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources at the University of Sydney is calling for expressions of interest from potential PhD candidates, to apply for a PhD scholarship to study in a new research project: "Canopy architecture contrasting wheat lines? On genes 'tin': a trait to increase yield under drought "This project is part of the Grains Research & Development Corporation (GRDC) funded Managed Environment Facility (MEFs) initiative, a pre-breeding research program aimed at increasing the level of genetic gain in winter cereal grown under limited water conditions in the contrasting environments of the Australian wheat belt. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
http://thescholarshipprogramme.com The Call for Presentations project will begin with a review of relevant scientific literature is guided by a faculty supervisor. Students will learn to use modeling software, and to develop a set of data for modeling purposes. Field experiments will be conducted in rural NSW, and in the greenhouse in the Sydney area. Experimental work will inform the design of simulation scenarios.Call for Presentations Participants will explore the physiological characteristics and architectures for their role and benefit in improving adaptation of Australia's most important cereal crop, wheat, the growth condition of limited water.
