项目摘要

Wheat is the most important staple crop grown in the UK, and one of the two major crops grown in India. Nitrogen fertiliser is a key determinant of yield and the major cost of wheat production in both countries and excessive application can result in pollution of groundwater and increased production of greenhouse gases. Breeders and farmers in the UK and India have worked hard to improve the efficiency of use of applied nitrogen, by improving the uptake and utilization efficiency within the crop through genetic improvement, together with the precision of fertilizer application in the field. However, further improvements are required to face the challenges of increasing crop production for an expanding global population with increasing uncertainty of climate. Both yield and quality attributes are dependent upon nitrogen inputs and need to be incorporated into economic and sustainable solutions. We will therefore bring together the major UK and Indian wheat researchers with programmes on wheat improvement to determine the genetic control of nitrogen use efficiency in wheat. These comprise scientists from five Universities and Institutes in the UK and from six in New Delhi, Haryana and the Punjab, which is the major wheat-producing area of India.The studies will focus on comparisons of wheat lines and populations which differ in their nitrogen use efficiency. These lines will be grown in field experiments in both countries and studied in detail using a range of biochemical and molecular genetic approaches. This will lead to the identification of genes and molecular markers that can be exploited by wheat breeders globally, and to new strategies for improving the precision of nitrogen application which will delivered to farmers via well-established mechanisms in both countries. Furthermore, since similar mechanisms are expected to determine nitrogen use efficiency in other plant species the results should be of wider applicability to other crops and countries.In addition to supporting a closely integrated research programme in the UK and India, the Centre will also provide a legacy of shared facilities, technologies, genetic material and datasets that will facilitate longer term bilateral collaborations, and provide training in crop genetics and genomics and exchanges for early career scientists and students in both countries.

小麦是英国种植的最重要的主食，也是印度种植的两种主要农作物之一。氮肥是产量的关键决定因素，并且在两个国家 /地区的小麦生产成本和过度应用可能会导致地下水污染和温室气体的产量增加。英国和印度的育种者和农民通过通过遗传改善以及该领域的肥料施用精度来提高农作物中的摄取和利用效率，以提高作物内的摄取和利用效率，以提高应用氮的使用效率。但是，随着气候不确定性的增加，需要进一步的改进才能面对不断扩大的全球人口的作物产量的挑战。产量和质量属性都取决于氮的投入，需要将其纳入经济和可持续性解决方案中。因此，我们将召集英国和印度小麦研究人员，以改善小麦的计划，以确定小麦氮利用效率的遗传控制。这些包括来自英国五所大学和学院的科学家，以及来自新德里，哈里亚纳邦和旁遮普邦的六名科学家，这是印度主要产生的小麦地区。研究将重点介绍其氮气使用效率不同的小麦线和人群的比较。这些线将在两国的现场实验中生长，并使用一系列生化和分子遗传方法进行详细研究。这将导致全球小麦育种者可以利用的基因和分子标记，以及提高氮施用精确性的新策略，这些策略将通过两国的完善机制通过良好的机制传递给农民。 Furthermore, since similar mechanisms are expected to determine nitrogen use efficiency in other plant species the results should be of wider applicability to other crops and countries.In addition to supporting a closely integrated research programme in the UK and India, the Centre will also provide a legacy of shared facilities, technologies, genetic material and datasets that will facilitate longer term bilateral collaborations, and provide training in crop genetics and genomics and exchanges for early career两国的科学家和学生。
