　　报告人简介：

　　Dr Richard Richards is a CSIRO Fellow at CSIRO Plant Industry in Canberra, Australia.  His research interests are to understand the genetic and physiological basis of variation in growth, development and yield of wheat, and then to apply this understanding to breed higher yielding wheats – particularly in water-limited environments.  This research has resulted in over 200 refereed scientific publications.  In addition, nine wheat cultivars developed by Richard and his group have been released commercially in Australia in the last decade.  Richard is also interested in understanding how breeding and crop management intersect to lead to improved yields. Richard is Principal Scientist for the wheat breeding company, HRZ Wheats Pty Ltd. In this role he works closely with industry to ensure adoption of suitable varieties.  Richard is an Adjunct Professor with the University of Western Australia, an elected member of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and an elected member of the Australian Academy of Science.
