recent incursion of the barley disease ramularia has not been fully delimited around the areas of confirmed occurrence. as this disease can spread through infected seed, growers in these regions will need information on the relative risk of saving seed for planting the following year. other regions that currently have had no positive recordings will need to be surveyed to ensure that these areas are currently free from ramularia. ramularia in the northern hemisphere and new zealand has recently increased in pathogen aggressiveness, decreased in fungicide sensitivity and caused epidemics in germany. determining the occurrence of ramularia across the australian grain belt will inform the level of disease management options required including seed hygiene, fungicide and pre-breeding investments. investment description this investment will combine three surveillance approaches over two seasons to determine the incidence and distribution of ramularia across the australian grain belt. 1. delimiting ramularia incidence around existing confirmed occurrences; 2. where found, collection and storage of ramularia samples for further characterisation; 3. determining the areas that are free of the disease with emphasis on areas known to be of highest disease risk across the western, southern and northern grdc regions. there is a preference for a coordinated national approach. expected outcome by 2022, australian grain growers will be implementing effective disease management strategies that minimise the impact of priority diseases on production leading to at least 10% increase in profitability expected outputs by december 2019 and annually thereafter, australian grain growers will know the incidence and distribution of ramularia across the australian grain belt. details: a ramularia occurrence survey to be conducted across the australian grain belt with an emphasis on the high and medium rainfall regions. a delimitation survey will be conducted in western australia
falling number fn is a global industry standard used to quantify detrimental pre-harvest sprouting phs in wheat, as early release from seed dormancy leads to significant effects on end product quality. however, a low falling number can also be caused by the trait of late maturity alpha-amylase lma, with some wheats having a genetic predisposition to accumulate low levels of starch digesting enzymes during grain filling in the absence of sprouting. lma susceptibility is currently a classification criterion for milling wheat in australia. due to the cost involved in the current lma susceptibility screen, it is currently employed at a late phase in the breeding pathway of australian wheat breeding programs, which significantly restricts genetic gains for yield and other traits in australian wheat varieties
department of home affairs invites suitably qualified organisations to participate in a potential multi-stage procurement process for the provision of innovative solutions to enhance the department’s unified communications
supply of black mountain facility undertaken by ab mandal group in october and november of 2017, several complex safety and compliance issues were identified relating to the laboratory gas hardware and distribution piping, life safety systems and related ventilation systems. the outcomes of this audit resulted in a redesign of the gas supply network and the life safety system requirements to reduce risks associated with hazardous gas situations to as low as reasonably practical levels
falling number fn is a global industry standard used to quantify detrimental pre-harvest sprouting phs in wheat, as early release from seed dormancy leads to significant effects on end product quality. however, a low falling number can also be caused by the trait of late maturity alpha-amylase lma, with some wheats having a genetic predisposition to accumulate low levels of starch digesting enzymes during grain filling in the absence of sprouting. lma susceptibility is currently a classification criterion for milling wheat in australia. investment description this investment is one of three interrelated investments aimed at managing and eliminating the effect of late maturity alpha-amylase lma in wheat through improved phenotyping and modelling: proc- 9176016 lma project a – improved phenotyping for late maturity alpha-amylase lma susceptibility in wheat proc- 9176017 lma project b – a novel high-throughput, low-cost test to determine cause of starch damage in wheat grain; and lma project c – an improved model of late maturity alpha-amylase lma field risk in australian wheat. this tender is for the development of a rapid, mobile, low-cost test for starch degradation in wheat grains which can also determine the cause of damage as lma or phs. such a test will be valuable to breeders and pre-breeders seeking to determine the cause of starch damage in breeding material and research populations in the field, increasing the speed at which lma susceptibility can be controlled by genetics. the technology could also be used by growers to aid post-harvest decision making and by grain receivers to rapidly and reliably determine starch damage. it is expected that the successful applicant will propose an innovative approach that may include imaging science, biochemistry and/or molecular biology. the proposed approach may also borrow from other disciplines such as medical sciences, food sciences, physics and engineering. a proof of concept of the proposed approach will be highly regarded in assessment. the tender is open to private, public and private-public partnerships. expected outcome by 2030, late maturity alpha-amylase lma risk is managed within the australian wheat industry as to maximise genetic gains and minimise downgrades to improve enduring profitability for australian growers. intermediate outcome by 2023, australian industry will have access to accurate, high-throughput screening tools for lma expression that are employable early in breeding programs, research programs and applicable to a more cost effective, higher throughput lma classification screen; growers will have the ability to determine starch damage of grain on-farm; and the industry as a whole will have access to accurate field risk profiles of lma to inform decision making. this will be achieved through the three interrelated investments.
