This project aims to discover new and potentially useful structural and regulatory genes while advancing knowledge of the chemical, genetic and ecological basis of unique evolutionary flower colour shifts. Dramatic shifts in floral colour is widespread in flowering plants, however, just how changes in flower colour occur remains poorly understood. This project will take advantage of unique Australian plants to investigate the molecular mechanisms and evolutionary shift in flower colour changes. This project expects to advance knowledge on plant specialised metabolism with potential contributions to the floriculture, food and flavour industries.

该项目旨在发现新的和潜在有用的结构和调控基因，同时增进对独特进化花色变化的化学、遗传和生态基础的了解。 花色的剧烈变化在开花植物中普遍存在，然而，花色变化是如何发生的仍然知之甚少。该项目将利用独特的澳大利亚植物来研究花色变化的分子机制和进化转变。该项目期望推进植物专门代谢方面的知识，为花卉、食品和香料行业做出潜在贡献。
