Plantation sandalwood removes pressure from natural populations and is a profitable long term investment. Australia is in a highly competitive position with regards to market supply but this cannot be taken for granted. This research seeks to understand the complex biology of sandalwood using the latest genomic and molecular technologies. This knowledge will be applied through directed, marker-assisted tree selection and improved plantation management. Ultimately we are developing a highly advanced production system with which Australia can lead Sandalwood production. Sandalwood plantations use a variety of native perennial hosts, increase biodiversity, help manage underground water resources and address carbon sequestration demands.

种植檀香消除了自然种群的压力，是一项有利可图的长期投资。澳大利亚在市场供应方面处于高度竞争地位，但这不能被视为理所当然。本研究旨在利用最新的基因组和分子技术了解檀香的复杂生物学。这些知识将通过有指导的、标记辅助的树木选择和改进的种植园管理加以应用。最终，我们正在开发一个高度先进的生产系统，澳大利亚可以领导檀香生产。檀香种植园利用多种本地多年生寄主，增加生物多样性，有助于管理地下水资源和解决碳封存需求。
