Leguminous plants make a substantial contribution to the Australian economy. To ensure future growth, we need to know more about how legume development is regulated. Genetic mutants, typically affecting the growth-promoting gibberellin plant hormones, played a key role in the green revolution, which transformed agriculture world-wide. Recent results show that gibberellin acts in concert with another hormone, auxin. We will generate new auxin-related mutants that will help us to understand how auxin and auxin-mediated interactions affect crop architecture and performance. Further benefit will accrue from training of students in state-of-the-art techniques, and the generation of new germplasm for use by other researchers and plant breeders.

豆科植物为澳大利亚经济做出了巨大贡献。为了确保未来的增长，我们需要更多地了解豆类发展是如何受到监管的。遗传突变体通常影响促进生长的赤霉素植物激素，在改变世界农业的绿色革命中发挥了关键作用。最近的研究结果表明，赤霉素与另一种激素生长素协同作用。我们将产生新的生长素相关的突变体，这将有助于我们了解生长素和生长素介导的相互作用如何影响作物的结构和性能。通过对学生进行最先进技术的培训，以及产生新的种质供其他研究人员和植物育种者使用，将产生更多的好处。
