The project will produce the first DNA-anchored plant lineage map of Kangaroo paws and gain novel insights into their resilient growth characteristics. Using novel genome and data-driven strategies, this project addresses the knowledge gap around the genetic heirloom of more than 200 iconic Kangaroo paw varieties to speed up the breeding of new varieties with enticing leaf patterns and flower colour combinations. While unravelling the inheritability and breeding barriers, immediate industry adoption will boost horticultural breeding programs long-term. This project uses cutting-edge science to enhance industry capacity for providing new Kangaroo paws for climate-resilient urban green spaces on the national and international market.

该项目将产生第一个袋鼠爪的DNA锚定植物谱系图，并获得对其弹性生长特性的新见解。该项目利用新的基因组和数据驱动的策略，解决了200多个标志性袋鼠爪品种遗传传家宝的知识缺口，以加快培育具有诱人的叶片图案和花色组合的新品种。在解决遗传性和育种障碍的同时，行业的立即采用将长期推动园艺育种计划。该项目利用尖端科学提高行业能力，为国内和国际市场上具有气候适应能力的城市绿色空间提供新的袋鼠爪。
