Dynamic Proteins for Nutritious Future Crops

本项目旨在了解小麦和大麦植物中调节蛋白质合成和降解的过程和基因。该项目将开发优化作物蛋白质稳定性的方法和一个新的研究领域。它的意义在于定义了控制蛋白质丰度的新方法，以提高作物的性能和质量，并增加重组蛋白对生物技术产业的价值。预期的结果将使植物细胞中的蛋白质丰度首次被设计和控制植物选择性蛋白质降解。收益将包括在西澳建立生物技术能力、促成新的合作以及为学生和博士后提供理想的培训环境。

This project aims to understand the processes and genes that regulate synthesis and degradation of proteins in wheat and barley plants. This project will develop methodologies and a new field of research for optimising protein stability in crops. Its significance lies in defining new ways to control protein abundance to increase crop performance and quality and increase the value of recombinant proteins for biotech industries. Expected outcomes will enable the protein abundance in plant cells to be designed and control selective protein degradation in plants for the first time. Benefits will include building biotechnology capacity in WA, brokering new collaborations and providing an ideal training environment for students and postdocs.
