Water use has become a major factor affecting agricultural development in Australia. Therefore, it is important to develop new techniques to sustain crop production in today's climate. Developing a clearer understanding of brassinosteroids, their underlying role in water stresses and their interaction with known stress-related hormones, such as abscisic acid and ethylene, will eventually enable more effective and efficient manipulation of plant growth in water stressed areas. This project has the added advantage of working with a legume, a group of plants that make a substantial contribution to the Australian economy. Our increased knowledge of legume development will help underpin future growth of this sector.

用水已成为影响澳大利亚农业发展的主要因素。因此，重要的是要开发新技术，以维持作物生产在今天的气候。对油菜素类固醇、它们在水分胁迫中的潜在作用以及它们与已知的胁迫相关激素（如脱落酸和乙烯）的相互作用有了更清楚的了解，最终将能够更有效地操纵水分胁迫地区的植物生长。该项目的另一个优势是与豆类植物合作，这是一组对澳大利亚经济做出重大贡献的植物。我们对豆类开发知识的增加将有助于支撑该行业的未来增长。
