The project aims to develop the tools and knowledge required for establishing and enhancing the profitability of plantations of blue mallee (Eucalyptus polybractea). This is important because mallees have considerable potential for sustainable essential oil and biomass production in low rainfall regions, and they can sequester considerable amounts of carbon in their below-ground parts. The project intends to produce trees with improved oil quality and yields through chromosome doubling and breeding, and to dissect the mechanisms that underpin essential oil production through the production of mutants and studies of the main monoterpene producing enzyme.

该项目旨在开发建立和提高蓝桉（多苞桉）种植园盈利能力所需的工具和知识。这一点很重要，因为在低降雨量地区，马利筋具有可持续的精油和生物质生产的巨大潜力，并且它们可以在地下部分吸收大量的碳。该项目打算通过染色体加倍和育种生产出具有改进的油质量和产量的树木，并通过生产突变体和研究主要的单萜生产酶来剖析精油生产的基础机制。
