Polysaccharide Synthase Genes in Agro-Industrial Applications

该项目目标的实现将产生宝贵的知识产权，并通过以下方式满足国家研究重点：增强我们从作物残渣生产可再生生物燃料的知识库，以实现环境可持续的澳大利亚；通过采用更健康的饮食(富含有助于降低心血管疾病、肥胖症、糖尿病和一些癌症的发病率和严重性的非淀粉细胞壁多糖)来开发预防性医疗保健；以及通过在新兴农业技术方面开发突破性科学。该联盟将培育一个智力环境，以提供世界级的基础研究成果和高技能毕业生的培训，从而为建设“知识国家”做出贡献。

Achievement of the project aims will generate valuable intellectual property and meet National Research Priorities by: enhancing our knowledge base for the production of renewable bio-fuels from crop residues, for an environmentally sustainable Australia; developing preventative healthcare through adoption of healthier diets, rich in non-starchy cell wall polysaccharides that help reduce the incidence and severity of cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and some cancers; and by developing breakthrough science in emerging agricultural technologies. The alliance will foster an intellectual environment to provide world-class basic research outcomes and training of highly skilled graduates, thereby contributing to the 'knowledge nation'.
