The capacity of the Australian pyrethrum industry, the global leader in the supply of the natural insecticide, is threatened by the profitability of the current 18-month crop cycle. The project aims to transform the crop to an annual production cycle by discovering genes that underpin flower timing and yield. The project will generate new knowledge on the genetic and physiological drivers of flowering and exploit these for the development of viable 10-month crops. Outcomes of the project include new protocols and germplasm for breeding and managing short cycle crops for optimum yield. This will provide significant benefits including an economically attractive crop option for growers and a more sustainable industry.

澳大利亚除虫菊酯行业是天然杀虫剂供应的全球领先者，其产能受到当前18个月作物周期的盈利能力的威胁。该项目旨在通过发现支撑花期和产量的基因，将作物转变为年度生产周期。该项目将产生关于开花的遗传和生理驱动因素的新知识，并利用这些知识开发可行的10个月作物。该项目的成果包括培育和管理短周期作物以获得最佳产量的新方案和种质。这将带来巨大的好处，包括为种植者提供经济上有吸引力的作物选择，以及一个更可持续的产业。
