This project seeks molecular understanding of regulatory mechanisms responsible for inducing formation of specialized plant cells that are of central importance in controlling nutrient transport. These so-called "transfer cells" play pivotal roles in determining crop nutrition and hence yield under normal and stressful environments such as soil nutrient deficiencies and salinity. Discovering regulatory mechanisms that control formation of these specialized cells will maintain Australia's international reputation in this field of research. In addition, the information platform generated may provide technological opportunities to optimise nutrient flows in healthy plants, combat certain environmental stresses and control pathogen attack.

该项目寻求分子调控机制的理解，负责诱导形成特殊的植物细胞，这是控制营养运输的核心重要性。这些所谓的“转移细胞”在正常和压力环境下（如土壤养分缺乏和盐度）决定作物营养和产量方面起着关键作用。发现控制这些特化细胞形成的调节机制将保持澳大利亚在这一研究领域的国际声誉。此外，所产生的信息平台可能为优化健康植物的养分流动、对抗某些环境胁迫和控制病原体攻击提供技术机会。
