This project is part of the National Priorities "Frontier Technologies for Building and Transforming Australian Industries." Using innovative plant metabolic engineering technologies combined with sophisticated computer modeling we are generating green plants that produce renewable, biodegradable, bioplastics possessing properties such that they are suitable replacements for petroleum-derived products in many applications. During the course of these studies, we are increasing our basic level of understanding of plant metabolism of important bioenergy crops. The production of renewable, bioplastics in sugarcane will help to diversify the Australian sugarcane industry by providing a value-added product with significant world-wide markets.

该项目是国家优先事项“建设和改造澳大利亚工业的前沿技术”的一部分。“利用创新的植物代谢工程技术，结合复杂的计算机建模， 生产可再生的、可生物降解的生物塑料的绿色植物，所述生物塑料具有使得它们在许多应用中是石油衍生产品的合适替代品的性质。在这些研究的过程中，我们正在提高我们对重要生物能源作物的植物代谢的基本水平。在甘蔗中生产可再生生物塑料将有助于澳大利亚甘蔗产业的多样化，为全球市场提供高附加值的产品。
