This project aims to mitigate the impacts of Myrtle rust, a disease affecting >380 Australian taxa in the family Myrtaceae, by developing advanced techniques to conserve susceptible species. The project is expected to generate the biotechnology advances necessary to conserve multiple taxa on the brink of extinction, including species important to our emerging native botanicals industry. Expected outcomes for the project include novel protocols for initiating and maintaining sterile tissue cultures and advanced techniques for cryopreservation of susceptible species, providing insurance against extinction and sources of ex situ material for re-establishing the species in safe sites and for research into disease resistance.

该项目旨在通过开发保护易感物种的先进技术来减轻桃金娘锈病的影响，桃金娘锈病是一种影响超过380种澳大利亚桃金娘科植物的疾病。该项目预计将产生必要的生物技术进步，以保护濒临灭绝的多种类群，包括对我们新兴的本土植物产业重要的物种。该项目的预期成果包括启动和维持无菌组织培养的新协议和冷冻保存易感物种的先进技术，提供防止灭绝的保险，以及在安全地点重建物种和研究抗病性的异地材料来源。
