The results from this project will add to our basic knowledge of the way in which environmental factors influence flowering in plants. The timing and duration of flowering is a critical determinant of yield for many crop species, and of market value for many ornamental species. A better understanding of the basic genetics and physiology of flowering will thus be relevant for plant breeders and horticulturalists seeking to modify flowering responses to suit particular production strategies, and will help to maintain the strong position of Australia as a world leader in applied aspects of plant/environment interactions. It will also strengthen the international reputation of Australia for high-quality basic research in plant development .

这个项目的结果将增加我们对环境因素影响植物开花方式的基本知识。开花的时间和持续时间是许多作物品种产量的关键决定因素，也是许多观赏植物市场价值的关键决定因素。因此，更好地了解开花的基本遗传学和生理学，对于寻求改变开花反应以适应特定生产策略的植物育种者和园艺家来说是相关的，并将有助于保持澳大利亚在植物/环境相互作用应用方面的世界领先地位。它还将加强澳大利亚在植物开发方面高质量基础研究的国际声誉。
