ARC Research Hub for Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture

ARC可持续农业豆类研究中心。该研究中心旨在为澳大利亚种植者和工业利益相关者提供改进的植物材料，以最大限度地提高产量、环境可持续性和盈利能力。特别是，本研究旨在提高豆科植物的氮素输送能力及其对非生物胁迫的适应能力，这将是我们气候变化的重要考虑因素。豆科谷物通常与谷类作物轮作种植，因为它们的种子营养价值高，而且具有与土壤细菌形成自给自足的固氮共生关系的独特能力。面对气候变化的挑战和增加粮食产量的需求，保持豆类生产力对澳大利亚农业的未来至关重要。

ARC Research Hub for Legumes for Sustainable Agriculture. This research hub aims to provide Australian growers and industrial stakeholders with improved plant materials to maximise production, environmental sustainability and profitability. In particular, the research aims to improve the nitrogen delivery capacity of legumes and their resilience to abiotic stress, which will be an important consideration as our climate changes. Grain legumes are often grown in rotation with cereal crops for their high nutritional seed value and their unique ability to develop a self-sufficient nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with soil bacteria. Maintaining legume productivity against the challenges of climate change and the need for increased food production is important to the future of Australian agriculture.
