Legumes are widely grown as forage and grain crops and make a substantial contribution to the Australian economy. Light is an important determinant of plant architecture and productivity and we need to know more about how development is regulated by light in this important plant group. The natural light environment faced by plants is complex and varies with crop density, season and time of day. Understanding the interaction of photoreceptors and plant hormones in the control of growth is vital for manipulating crops to meet changing agronomic requirements. Training of students in state-of-the art techniques and the generation of new germplasm for use by other researchers and plant breeders will be other significant outcomes of the project.

豆科植物作为饲料和粮食作物广泛种植，为澳大利亚经济做出了巨大贡献。光是植物结构和生产力的重要决定因素，我们需要更多地了解光如何调节这一重要植物群体的发育。植物所面临的自然光环境是复杂的，并随着作物密度、季节和一天中的时间而变化。了解光感受器和植物激素在控制生长中的相互作用对于操纵作物以满足不断变化的农艺要求至关重要。该项目的其他重要成果是培训学生掌握最先进的技术，并产生新的种质供其他研究人员和植物育种者使用。
