Project Abstract
Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) is one of the most detrimental infecting agents impacting cereal production worldwide. ELEVATE is an ambitious programme of research that will carry out the studies needed to generate the data necessary to establish a model to predict potential yield loss in barley associated with different virus strains, presence of co-infection, and timing of infection. Crucially, ELEVATE will also look ahead to how �extreme� weather events and a changing climate will impact both virus transmission and aphid behavior, and establish a platform to evaluate new and old barley genetics.
