The enzyme guanylate cyclase (GC) forms an important signalling molecule. We have identified unique GC molecules from higher plants. We shall use strategic basic research to determine the biological importance of these novel molecules in plant growth and development. We have formed an international team to achieve these goals and also to develop strong scientific links between Australia and other countries such as South Africa. The outcomes will provide new insight into the biological function of the novel GCs. Consequently, the new knowledge is critical to the development of novel biotechnological approaches to benefit sustainable agriculture in Australia.

鸟苷酸环化酶（GC）是一种重要的信号分子。我们已经从高等植物中鉴定出独特的GC分子。我们将利用战略基础研究来确定这些新分子在植物生长和发育中的生物学重要性。我们已经组建了一个国际团队来实现这些目标，并在澳大利亚和南非等其他国家之间建立强有力的科学联系。这些结果将为新型GC的生物学功能提供新的见解。因此，新的知识是至关重要的新的生物技术方法的发展，有利于澳大利亚的可持续农业。
