Arabidopsis DNA binding proteins that control transcription of its mitochondrial genome

推动澳大利亚未来经济农业部门所需的作物产量和质量的增加将来自于通过结合传统方法和确定植物线粒体DNA结合蛋白及其作用位点的尖端研究类型所获得的知识。线粒体是许多重要农艺性状的基础，包括植物生长、果实成熟以及植物胁迫和疾病防御。合理操纵这些和迄今未发现的特征的机会将来自该项目产生的新知识，该项目将开发和使用前沿技术，使澳大利亚保持在线粒体结构和功能的国际研究的前沿。

The increases in crop output and quality needed to drive the agricultural sector of Australia's future economy will arise from knowledge gained by combining traditional methods and the type of cutting-edge research that identifies plant mitochondrial DNA-binding proteins and their sites of action. Mitochondria are fundamental to many agronomically important traits, including plant growth, fruit ripening and plant stress and disease defence. Opportunities for the rational manipulation of these and hitherto undiscovered traits will come from new knowledge generated by this project, which will develop and use frontier technologies that will keep Australia at the forefront of international research into mitochondrial structure and function.
