Phytophthora cinnamomi is the cause of "Phytophthora dieback", recognised by the Federal Government as a major threat to Australia's biodiversity. This project will enhance our understanding of interactions between species belonging to two iconic Australian plant families (Proteaceae and Myrtaceae) and this serious threat. This understanding will underpin the development of new chemicals to be used in combating the pathogen. In addition, it will provide molecular markers for phosphorus insensitivity and Phytophthora resistance that will be vital for Australia's horticultural industry as well as for the successful rehabilitation of minesites in areas suffering from "Phytophthora dieback".

肉桂疫霉（Phytophthora cinnamomi）是“疫霉枯死病”的原因，被联邦政府认定为澳大利亚生物多样性的主要威胁。这个项目将加强我们对澳大利亚两个标志性植物家族（变形科和桃金娘科）物种之间的相互作用和这种严重威胁的理解。这一认识将为开发用于对抗病原体的新化学品提供基础。此外，它将提供对磷不敏感和疫霉抗性的分子标记，这对澳大利亚的园艺工业以及成功恢复遭受疫霉枯死的地区的矿场至关重要。
