This project aims to target herbicide resistant weeds which represent one of the largest threats to Australian and global food security. Targeting of unexplored pathways in plants to develop a novel herbicide strategy is expected to be achieved, and will include the structural and functional characterisation of key enzymes in these pathways. This project is expected to provide significant benefits for effective weed management to sustain Australia’s agricultural industry through enhanced food production from increased crop yields, whilst ensuring food security. These outcomes, coupled with decades of over-reliance on current herbicides, means there has never been a greater need for new and effective herbicides.

该项目旨在针对耐除草剂的杂草，这是对澳大利亚和全球粮食安全的最大威胁之一。预计将实现植物中意外途径以制定新型除草剂策略，并将包括这些途径中关键酶的结构和功能表征。预计该项目将为有效的杂草管理提供巨大的好处，从而通过增加农作物产量增强粮食生产，同时确保粮食安全，从而维持澳大利亚的农业产业。这些结果，再加上数十年的过度依赖当前除草剂，这意味着从来没有更需要新的有效的除草剂。
