Applications-oriented elucidation of germination triggers for Emu Bush seed

该项目旨在确定目前限制鸸鹋灌木（Eremophila）物种种子发芽的环境和遗传机制。预期的项目成果旨在开发高效和大规模生产鸸鹋灌木幼苗的新技术。研究结果将通过增加植物多样性和降低建设成本来改善土地恢复，并将为苗圃行业提供家庭花园的新产品。该项目的预期效益是增加用于恢复和观赏目的的澳大利亚本土植物的多样性，并促进该植物科物种及其遗传多样性的保护。

The project aims to determine the environmental and genetic mechanisms that currently limit seed germination in Emu Bush (Eremophila) species. The anticipated project outcomes aim to develop new technologies for efficient and mass production of Emu Bush seedlings. The outcomes will improve land restoration by increasing plant diversity and reducing establishment costs, and will also provide the nursery industry with novel products for home gardens. The intended project benefits are to increase the diversity of Australian native plants used for restoration and ornamental purposes and to promote the conservation of species in this plant family and its genetic diversity.
