Global supplies of the most currently used phosphate fertilisers are predicted to be exhausted in less than a century. These fertilisers are non-renewable resources based on phosphate rock deposits and their use are key drivers of both plant production costs and environmental damage in Australia and internationally. Using the power of genetic and functional genomics analyses in rice, this project will reveal key controllers of phosphate acquisition in plants. Hence, novel biotechnology based solutions can be implemented in a variety of cereal crops to aid reduced use of phosphate fertiliser in agriculture and unlock the large phosphate pool not used by plants in soil.

预计目前最常用的磷酸盐肥料的全球供应在不到一个世纪的时间内被耗尽。这些肥料是基于磷酸盐岩石的不可再生资源，它们的使用是澳大利亚和国际上植物生产成本和环境损害的关键驱动因素。使用水稻中遗传和功能基因组学分析的能力，该项目将揭示植物中磷酸盐采集的关键控制器。 因此，可以在各种谷物作物中实施基于生物技术的新型溶液，以帮助减少农业中磷酸盐肥料的使用，并解锁植物在土壤中未使用的大型磷酸盐池。
