Simultaneous analysis of root-derived plant defences and the associated microbiome

澳大利亚依赖于可持续的农业产量，这需要保持或提高。这一生产能力目前正受到新的和现有疾病的威胁，预计这些疾病将随着气候变化而恶化。该项目将提供抗病能力和土壤微生物群落之间因果关系的全球图景，并为疾病控制提供新的战略。通过这样做，它将开发可用于土壤健康管理的知识产权(IP)和基础设施。这将给澳大利亚带来许多好处，包括在气候多变和对食品、生物材料和生物燃料的需求增加的背景下的可持续农业。

Australia is dependent on sustainable agricultural yields, which need to be maintained or improved. This production capacity is currently under threat by new and existing diseases which are predicted to worsen with climate change. This project will provide a global picture of how disease resistance and soil microbial communities are causally linked, and provide new strategies for disease control. In doing so, it will develop intellectual property (IP) and infrastructure that can be used in soil health management. This will provide many benefits to Australia, including sustainable agriculture in the context of climate variability and an increased demand for food, biomaterials and biofuels.
