Request for tender - low-cost test to determine cause of starch damage in wheat grain
| The expression of Late Maturity alpha-Amylase (LMA) in wheat results in a reduced Falling number (FN), the global industry standard used
to quantify detrimental pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). Susceptibility to LMA is currently a classification criterion for milling wheat
in Australia. This tender is for the development of a rapid, mobile, low-cost test for starch degradation in wheat grains which can
also determine the cause of damage as LMA or PHS.
Details of the tender and the application process can be found on the GRDC website. Reference number: PROC-9176017 Closing date:The closing date for applications is 2pm AEDT, Monday 26 August 2019. |
