The project aims to discover the genes and processes that control plant shoot architecture, which is a major driver of yield in field, horticultural and forestry crops. Shoot branching is the result of the complex interplay of genes, environment and crop management. By investigating cellular processes governing growth and development, as well as physiology and molecular genetics, this project will enhance Australian capacity and multidisciplinary innovation. An improved understanding of shoot branching and how it may be manipulated will improve our knowledge of plant sciences that could contribute to agricultural expansion and food security in Australia and internationally.

该项目旨在发现控制植物芽结构的基因和过程，这是田间、园艺和林业作物产量的主要驱动因素。茎的分枝是基因、环境和作物管理复杂相互作用的结果。通过研究控制生长和发育的细胞过程，以及生理学和分子遗传学，该项目将提高澳大利亚的能力和多学科创新。提高对茎枝分支的理解以及如何操纵它将提高我们对植物科学的认识，这将有助于澳大利亚和国际上的农业扩张和粮食安全。
