Plant cell metabolism underlies the synthesis of important products in crops, and subtle changes in metabolism can enhance germination rates, early seedling vigour, biomass/yield, and tolerance to harsh environments. Research in CPEB will focus on control of this metabolism. Its expertise will enhance Australia's participation in major international research efforts directly relevant to sustainable agriculture in a country with fragile/degrading ecosystems. The research will provide new approaches for enhancing quality metabolite traits important for human health. It will further strengthen our international leadership in plant energy science, and will strengthen Australia's research training in systems biology to influence plant function.

植物细胞代谢是作物重要产物合成的基础，代谢的微妙变化可以提高发芽率、早期幼苗活力、生物量/产量以及对恶劣环境的耐受性。 CPEB 的研究将集中于对这种代谢的控制。其专业知识将加强澳大利亚参与与生态系统脆弱/退化国家的可持续农业直接相关的重大国际研究工作。该研究将为增强对人类健康重要的优质代谢特征提供新方法。它将进一步加强我们在植物能源科学方面的国际领导地位，并将加强澳大利亚在影响植物功能的系统生物学方面的研究培训。
