Development of advanced screening protocols for the identification of genes involved in nutrient sensing and nutrient efficiency in plants

澳大利亚的可持续植物生产建立在低农药和化肥投入的稳定作物产量和高作物质量的概念基础上。这就需要更有效地利用植物自身的机制，以有效地探索通常分布不均的土壤中的养分斑块。植物中营养传感器的识别不仅可以更深入地了解植物如何克服营养不良的生长期，而且还为提高作物的营养效率开辟了新的可能性。该项目所产生的更多了解将为今后提高农业生产力和提高澳大利亚和国际社会所有人的生活质量的工作提供基础。

Sustainable plant production in Australia builds on the concept of stable crop yield and high crop quality at low pesticide and fertilizer input. This requires a more efficient use of the plant's own mechanisms to efficiently explore nutrient patches in soils that are usually heterogeneously distributed. The identification of nutrient sensors in plants will not only allow a deeper understanding of how plants manage to overcome nutrient-poor growth periods but also open new possibilities for enhancing nutrient efficiency in crop plants. The increased understanding arising from this project will underpin future work to increase agricultural productivity and the quality of life for all in the Australian and international communities.
