Phenotypic selection for photosynthetic capacity and efficiency

This work has focused on: 1) Developing new, higher throughput tools for leaf level and canopy level screening, and 2) Screening germplasm sets from CIMMYT (Mexico), UK, and Australia using existing physiological tools such as infrared gas analysis as proxies for variation in Rubisco kinetics and amounts in wheat leaf material in the glasshouse and the field.
