Predicting yields is a fool’s game as there are so many influencing factors and last year was particularly difficult for forecasting. This is why plant physiologists avoid putting their head on the block because they know that their often far too …
Malnutrition affects one in three people on the planet, with two billion people being deficient in one or more micronutrients. In sub-Saharan Africa malnutrition is a chronic problem. The sustainable production and consumption of biodiverse nutritious …
UK NIAB provides independent science-based research and information to support, develop and promote agriculture and horticulture; helping the industry to fulfil its potential in supplying food and renewable resources, while respecting the natural …

Developing improved germplasm for yield, biotic and abiotic stress using high throughput field phenotyping for monitoring performance and the genetic dissection of key traits. NIAB will be utilising germplasm selected from DFW, WISP and other projects to …
Enhancing grain quality for human health, combat diet-related diseases and improve the resilience of wheat to biotic stresses. NIAB is developing germplasm with starch characteristics predicted to improve the processability, nutrition and digestibility of …
UK horticultural growers face increasing pressure from crop pests, weeds and diseases, due to a combination of new non-indigenous threats, emerging pesticide resistance issues and increasing regulatory pressure on the availability and type of plant …
Modern wheat varieties carry a wide range of different genes associated with important traits, such as increased yield and disease resistance. It is impossible to capture all of these genes with a single genome sequence so additional genome sequences are …
