As part of a world-wide effort to apply transgenic technologies for the improvement of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), this project will place Australian research at the forefront of the latest developments in the field. With a requirement for fruit fly free status of horticultural production and an increasing demand for pesticide free produce, improved SIT strains of Queensland fruit fly will be vital to maintain our competitiveness in international horticultural markets. Rural and regional areas will be the main beneficiaries from the outcomes, with health benefits, a clean and green image for horticulture, simplified marketing and reduced costs.

作为全球应用转基因技术改进昆虫不育技术 (SIT) 努力的一部分，该项目将使澳大利亚的研究处于该领域最新发展的前沿。 随着园艺生产对无果蝇状态的要求以及对无农药产品的需求不断增加，改良昆士兰果蝇昆虫不育技术菌株对于保持我们在国际园艺市场的竞争力至关重要。 农村和地区将成为该成果的主要受益者，带来健康益处、清洁和绿色的园艺形象、简化营销和降低成本。
