This project will investigate the mechanisms of action of flavonoids, which are abundant and diverse plant products contained in all fruits and vegetables. We have very little knowledge on the range of activities this large class of natural compounds has in plants. This research will investigate the role of flavonoids in regulating plant development to identify flavonoids and their target proteins and genes that could alter plant development in specific ways to create improved crops. This project will also strengthen Australia's expertise in proteomics, an important tool for the advancement of knowledge and application in biotechnology.

本项目将研究黄酮类化合物的作用机制，黄酮类化合物是所有水果和蔬菜中含有的丰富多样的植物产品。 我们对这一大类天然化合物在植物中的活性范围知之甚少。 这项研究将研究类黄酮在调节植物发育中的作用，以确定类黄酮及其靶蛋白和基因，这些蛋白和基因可以以特定的方式改变植物发育，从而创造出改良的作物。这一项目还将加强澳大利亚在蛋白质组学方面的专门知识，蛋白质组学是促进生物技术知识和应用的重要工具。
