Dynamic Proteins for Nutritious Future Crops

该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新的研究领域。它的意义在于确定了控制蛋白质丰度的新方法，以提高作物的生产性能和品质，并增加重组蛋白质在生物技术产业中的价值。预期的结果将使植物细胞中的蛋白质丰度得以设计，并首次控制植物中选择性的蛋白质降解。好处将包括在西澳建立生物技术能力，促成新的合作，并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.
