Research high yielding seeds
It is forecasted that by 2030, the world will have more than 2 billion people. Therefore, providing enough food for mankind is something that scientists concern.
New Zealand scientists are collaborating with Chinese scientists to study the development of seeds for higher yield crops. Professor Paula Jameson from the University of Canterbury and Dr. Jiangchen Song from Yantai University have just published a paper about the search for growth genes for wheat, helping the plant to have more seeds and larger seeds. According to Jameson, increasing the level of wheat's own hormone levels will help the grain grow bigger and have more seeds.
Canterbury and Shandong have a similar temperate climate and wheat is considered a major source of food. New Zealand is an exporter of 8 world-leading fruit and vegetable seeds, earning over 123 million USD / year.
According to Chinaview, this week the New Zealand government also announced a project to help PGG Wrightson to improve seeds, crops and livestock with higher productivity but less environmental impact.
