IWYP Call 2: Manipulating Stomatal Blue Light Response in Wheat to Improve Productivity Stomatal behaviour controls photosynthesis, water use and leaf temperature and these leaf pores are therefore an important, and unexploited, target for manipulation to improve crop productivity. We will use a non-transgenic tilling approach to identify single mutations in a gene known to be essential in stomatal responses to blue light (BLUS1) in each of the wheat homoeologs (A, B and D) and use these to generate single, double and triple mutants in a variety of different backgrounds. Mutants generated will be phenotyped for gas-exchange, photosynthetic biochemistry and grain yield production in both controlled environment conditions and 2 different field environments. From this work we will deliver non-transgenic wheat plants with improved photosynthetic capacity throughout the crop cycle combined with better water use, and maximized productivity under a range of environmental conditions.
