This project aims to investigate the biological mechanisms driving the evolution of toxic cyanogenic glucosides by exploiting the natural diversity of Australian wild relatives of the crop sorghum that are adapted to different environments. Wild crop relatives are an important source of traits for improving their cultivated counterparts. Analysing the diversity and evolution of Australia’s 17 native sorghum species will provide new understanding of how plants have adapted to environmental challenges across diverse Australian environments. This should provide significant benefit by providing new resources for plant breeders to produce more climate-resilient crops.

本项目旨在通过利用澳大利亚高粱野生近缘种适应不同环境的自然多样性，研究驱动有毒氰苷进化的生物学机制。野生近缘作物是改良栽培作物性状的重要来源。分析澳大利亚17种本地高粱物种的多样性和进化将为植物如何适应澳大利亚不同环境的环境挑战提供新的理解。这将通过为植物育种者提供新的资源来生产更具气候适应性的作物，从而带来显著的好处。
