This project will have triple bottom line benefits. Economic: new cultivars developed from understanding betalains will sell worldwide, generating returns, incomes and employment in urban, peri-urban and rural Australia. Social: Novel Ptilotus and Calandrinia cultivars will adorn parks and gardens around Australia, thereby enhancing quality of life. Environmental: Ptilotus and Calandrinia are inherently drought resistant. Novel ornamental cultivars will have high water use efficiency and contribute to water conservation in urban Australia in the face of drought and global warming. Moreover, understanding their synthesis and roles could yield new strategies for enhancing stress tolerance in other species, including crop plants.

这个项目将有三重底线的好处。经济：通过了解甜菜色素而培育的新品种将在全球销售，在澳大利亚的城市、城郊和农村地区产生回报、收入和就业机会。社会：新的Ptilotus和Calandrinia品种将装饰澳大利亚各地的公园和花园，从而提高生活质量。环境：Ptilotus和Calandrinia具有固有的抗旱性。新的观赏品种将具有较高的水分利用效率，并有助于在澳大利亚城市面临干旱和全球变暖的水资源保护。此外，了解它们的合成和作用可以产生新的策略，以提高其他物种，包括作物的胁迫耐受性。
