Dryland salinity is continuously claiming Australian lands and is a serious threat to our agricultural industry, native flora and fauna, and infrastructure. Attempting to feed an increasing population whilst agricultural land is disappearing, places an ever-increasing burden on our remaining land. While there is no simple solution to this problem, understanding how plants regulate cellular ion concentrations will help to generate plants that are suitable for restoration of damaged lands or crop plants that are more tolerant to saline soils. Furthermore, knowledge acquired from the proposed project will also be useful for generating healthier crop plants with enhanced levels of ions essential for the human diet.

干旱地区的盐碱化不断侵蚀着澳大利亚的土地，严重威胁着我们的农业、本土植物群和动物群以及基础设施。试图养活不断增加的人口，而农业用地正在消失，给我们剩下的土地带来越来越大的负担。虽然这个问题没有简单的解决方案，但了解植物如何调节细胞离子浓度将有助于产生适合恢复受损土地的植物或更耐盐碱土壤的作物。此外，从拟议项目中获得的知识也将有助于产生更健康的作物，其离子水平提高，对人类饮食至关重要。
