This project aims to develop new methods to reduce the water used by grain crops while maintaining productivity by advancing knowledge of the regulation plant carbon gain and water loss. Novel laser-lased measurement systems developed and applied in this project will provide new mechanistic understanding of plant carbon-water dynamics for individual leaves and at the whole crop scale. Water availability is the most pressing environmental issue facing the Australian grain industry, so improvements in the efficiency with which water is used will have profound economic and environmental effects.

该项目旨在开发新的方法，以减少粮食作物的用水量，同时通过提高对植物碳增益和水分损失的调节知识来保持生产力。 本项目开发和应用的新型激光测量系统将为植物个体叶片和整个作物尺度的碳-水动态提供新的机理理解。 水资源的可利用性是澳大利亚粮食行业面临的最紧迫的环境问题，因此提高水资源利用效率将产生深远的经济和环境影响。
