The Grampians Pincushion Lily (Borya mirabilis) is Critically Endangered (only 7 remain). Efforts to increase its population and range and maintain or enhance its genetic diversity by standard methods have had only modest success so far. The aim of this proposal is to create more innovative methods in a deeper, more research-based approach to solving these problems by using greater knowledge and understanding of its biology and reproduction. In particular, plant tissue culture and molecular biology will allow us to devise more effective approaches and potentially create methods that could be applied to other endangered species, particularly Borya and its relatives.

Grampians Pincushion百合（Borya mirabilis）是极度濒危的（只有7仍然）。 迄今为止，通过标准方法增加其种群和范围以及保持或提高其遗传多样性的努力只取得了一定的成功。 该提案的目的是通过利用对其生物学和繁殖的更多知识和了解，以更深入、更基于研究的方法创建更多创新方法来解决这些问题。 特别是，植物组织培养和分子生物学将使我们能够设计出更有效的方法，并有可能创造出适用于其他濒危物种的方法，特别是Borya及其亲属。
