Diddordebau Ymchwil

My lab is focused on tackling global food security issues. We use genomics tools and in work in partnership with growers, breeders and industry to develop novel crop varieties for sustainable agriculture. Current projects use genetic diversity in wild relatives and landraces and analysis of quantitative traits to inform marker-assisted selection for trait improvement in economically important species.

KASP genomic selection: improving farmers' livelihoods through better rice varieties (2015-2021)

I am the Bangor University PI on this Innovate UK DFID-funded project which has three partners from the UK (LGC Genomics, Bangor University, AgriEPIcentre) and four partners from South Asia (NARC, Anamolbiu Private Ltd. (APL), NIBGE and SKUAST). The project aims to improve the efficiency of molecular breeding in rice by accelerating the uptake of KASP technology for application by breeders. An overall goal is to encourage large scale application of KASP in Genomic Selection (GS). 

Bangor University colleagues on this project are Prof. John Witcombe (Nepal Breeding Consultant) and Dr Mark Quinton-Tulloch (Bioinformatics Research, 2015-2020).

    Disgrifiad

    This project directly addresses the challenge of improved food security and livelihoods for international development. For about half a billion people in Asia, most of them poor, rice provides over 50% of the caloric supply so the size and stability of the rice harvest is crucial. The simplest way to increase yields is by the breeding of new rice varieties with greater resistance to diseases and pests and improved tolerance to stresses. To help in this breeding all Asian national rice breeding programmes use DNA markers. This project will develop LGC genomics' proprietary molecular technologies (called KASP) by providing thousands of new KASP markers. By the end of the project, KASP will become the marker of choice for rice breeders through greater choice of markers (available for any cross), reduced costs (allowing a three-fold increase in the size of the breeding programme) and increased speed and reliability. This will provide a revolution in rice breeding by making it possible to do genome-wide, selection instead of selecting for markers at a few target traits. A single improved rice variety can increase harvest value by millions of pounds a year so improved rice breeding methods in all Asian countries will have great impact on improved food security and improved farmers' livelihoods.
