Crop breeding and phenomics research

Over 100 cotton varieties

Australian cotton has the highest yields in the world, and 100 per cent of it is currently grown from CSIRO varieties – we've released 113 since 1984.

Machine-learning for crop breeding

We're harnessing genomics and machine-learning to develop crops better adapted to Australian conditions.

Breeding wheat with MAGIC

CSIRO plant scientists are using MAGIC, an innovative technique to increase the speed and efficiency of wheat breeding.

PhenoMobile - Tech-enabled phenotyping

PhenoMobile® technology, a non-destructive and ground-based system, enables accurate, timely, and high throughput data acquisition of crop phenotypes.

Phenopod

The Phenopod is an instrumented, climate controlled greenhouse with a state-of-the-art, automated high throughput phenotyping tool and data analytics.

Proteomics

We are using mass spectrometry (MS) and proteomics to help identify key proteins that will benefit Australia's livestock and plant industries, and improve human health.

Silencing genes with RNAi

Australian RNAi technology: silencing gene expression for plant, animal and human health science

Smart breeding with phenomics

Phenomics tools offer non-destructive and high throughput methods to quantify crop performance in response to the environment.
