This project aims to generate new knowledge about pyruvate provision for respiration in plants as it is a major pathway of carbon loss from plants. It will address specific gaps in knowledge about how pyruvate is provided to mitochondria for respiration, how channelling of pyruvate is achieved between components in this pathway and it will seek to engineering a new pyruvate supply pathway to change respiratory processes in plants. It will develop techniques for analysis of metabolic processes in plants and genetic proof for assumptions of how plant respiration works. Benefits will be training of early career researchers, enhanced international reputation of Australian plant science and new approaches to engineer respiratory rate in plants.

该项目旨在产生关于丙酮酸盐为植物呼吸提供的新知识，因为它是植物碳损失的主要途径。它将解决有关丙酮酸如何提供给线粒体进行呼吸的知识中的具体差距，如何在该途径中的组分之间实现丙酮酸的通道，并将寻求工程设计一种新的丙酮酸供应途径来改变植物的呼吸过程。它将开发用于分析植物代谢过程的技术，并为植物呼吸作用的假设提供遗传证据。其好处将是培训早期职业研究人员，提高澳大利亚植物科学的国际声誉，以及设计植物呼吸速率的新方法。
