This study will examine plant reproduction, the processes that ultimately lead to seeds being formed. Seeds are a major source of food for human societies. Benefits likely to arise from this study include an improved knowledge of plant reproduction which could lead to the production of better crops and more sustainable agricultural systems. By examining reproduction in a native plant, this study will also improve our understanding of Australia's flora and could help improve management strategies for rare and endagered species. Through the training of students and researchers, this study will contribute highly skilled individuals to the Australian economy.
