Supply Of Production Of High Value, Human Consumption Pulses In Australia Is Dominated By Lentil And Chickpea, And Is Concentrated On The More Fertile Soils In The Medium Rainfall Areas Of The Southern And Northern Regions. Due To The Farming System Benefits Of Imposing A Double Break And The High Prices In Recent Years, There Is Much Interest In Expanding Lentil And Chickpea Production Onto Soils With A Number Of Constraints Acidity, Nutrient Toxicities And Deficiencies, Poor Structure And Into Other Rainfall Zones. It Is Critical That New Pulses Be Developed And Managed Such That The Crop Life-Cycle Fits Within The Constraints Of Availability Of Soil Water, Frost And Heat Stresses And Flowering And Pod-Set Occur In The Optimum Window For Different Agroecological Zones. As Time To Flowering And Pod-Set Are So Critical In These Crops, Understanding And Improving Them In Existing Production Regions And Where They Have Not Been Optimised Yet Is One Of The Most Critical Elements That Can Contribute To Their Adoption And Deliver Potential Step Changes In Yield And Profit. The National Pulse Phenology Investment Proposed Will Utilise Common Genetic Resources Across Existing And Potential Pulse Expansion Regions Of Australia To Expedite Delivery Of Data, Tools And Knowledge Which Can Inform Crop Breeding. It Will Leverage International R&D Activities, And New Synergies Provided By Recent Developments In Understanding Of Genome Synteny And Conserved Pathways In This Group Of Crops To Deliver On Investment Outputs.
