Current ATM View - PROC-9177452 Enhancing wheat adaptability for stable yields under variable climates: an integrated genetic and agronomic approach Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Darwin, Hobart Climate variability is making Australian wheat production more challenging, with drought and interacting stresses such as heat, nutrient limitation and soil constraints increasingly affecting crop performance across regions and seasons. These stresses can reduce yield stability and create greater seasonal risk for growers. One opportunity to address this challenge is to better understand and use wheat’s adaptive plasticity-the ability of wheat plants to adjust growth, development and resource use in response to changing conditions. Adaptive plasticity may help crops reduce yield loss in dry or stressful seasons while maintaining yield potential when conditions are favourable. While wheat breeding programs select for broad adaptation, the specific traits, benchmarks and selection approaches that support adaptive plasticity are not yet routinely defined or targeted. Through this investment, GRDC aims to identify, validate and translate priority plasticity traits into breeder-ready knowledge, datasets, genetic resources and selection guidance. This EOI seeks to identify capable Respondents to participate in a potential multi-stage procurement process to deliver this work. For complete EOI details and instruction please visit GRDC website:

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this agriculture & food opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the closing date and submission window on the official portal before you start preparing your bid.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
