NextGen Sorghum: Genomic approaches to novel renewable bioproducts

下一代高粱将为人类和动物提供更高的营养和加工质量，并成为生物经济提供新产品的理想原料。我们在反向遗传学方面的方法，以确定控制高粱种子发育，细胞大小，细胞壁厚度以及淀粉和蛋白质在谷物中包装方式的基因网络，将产生知识，以支持这种重要谷物的未来利用。 这将有助于推动澳大利亚谷物行业的未来，为消费者带来健康利益，为新型和可再生生物产品提供更多的专业原料，并为农民带来经济利益。

Next Gen Sorghums will have enhanced nutritional and processing qualities for humans and animals, and be ideal feedstocks for the bio-economy for the delivery of novel products. Our approaches in reverse genetics to identify gene networks which control sorghum seed development, cell size, cell wall thickness and the way in which starch and protein are packaged within the grain will generate knowledge to underpin the future utilisation of this important grain. This will help to drive the future of Australian cereals industries, with health benefits to consumers, the enhanced delivery of specialised feedstocks for novel and renewable bio-products, and financial benefits to farmers.
