This project will dissect a newly identified signalling pathway in plants that regulates plant water use and carbon gain. It will deploy multiple techniques, including novel biosensors, to understand the links between the metabolism of plants and their environmental responses. The project will build partnerships with scientists at leading international institutions for enhanced outcomes, including access to specialised equipment and upskilling of our scientists. The generation of barley with the latest gene editing techniques aims to produce a non-GM crop with the potential for enhanced root C sequestration, lower water use and improved yield, three key goals for agricultural sustainability in the face of a drying Australian climate.

该项目将剖析一个新发现的植物信号通路，调节植物水分利用和碳增益。它将部署多种技术，包括新型生物传感器，以了解植物的新陈代谢与其环境反应之间的联系。该项目将与领先的国际机构的科学家建立伙伴关系，以提高成果，包括获得专业设备和提高我们科学家的技能。采用最新基因编辑技术的大麦旨在生产一种非转基因作物，这种作物具有增强根系固碳、降低用水量和提高产量的潜力，这是澳大利亚气候干燥时农业可持续性的三个关键目标。
