Abstract | Frost, during reproductive developmental stages, especially post head emergence frost (PHEF), can result in catastrophic yield loss for wheat producers. Breeding for improved PHEF frost tolerance may allow greater yield to be achieved, by (i) reducing direct frost damage and (ii) sowing crops earlier to reduce risks of late-season drought and or heat stress. This paper provides an economic feasibility analysis of conventional and genetically modified (GM) PHEF tolerant wheat variety breeding options. The results reveal that PHEF tolerant varieties, both conventional and GM, would lead to a significant |
