Most of the grains and seeds that form the world's food supply are the result of the successful functioning of sperm and egg cells during fertilisation. This proposal aims to investigate the nature of sperm cell genome programming in plants and unravel molecular processes that give these cells their unique identity. This innovative and challenging research will also provide an excellent opportunity for training the next generation of scientists. The outcomes of this proposal will enhance Australia's international lead in this field and will pave the way toward the development of new approaches for sustaining and enhancing crop productivity under changing environmental conditions.

构成世界粮食供应的大部分谷物和种子是精子和卵细胞在受精过程中成功发挥作用的结果。这项提议旨在研究植物精子细胞基因组编程的本质，并揭开赋予这些细胞独特身份的分子过程。这项具有创新性和挑战性的研究也将为培养下一代科学家提供绝佳的机会。这项提议的结果将加强澳大利亚在这一领域的国际领先地位，并将为开发在不断变化的环境条件下维持和提高作物生产力的新方法铺平道路。
