ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Cell Wall Biology

ARC植物细胞壁生物学中心将确定控制谷物和禾草细胞壁多糖合成、沉积、重塑和解聚过程中的分子、酶和细胞过程的调节机制。植物细胞壁是世界上最大的可再生碳资源，但其合成和组装的调控机制尚不清楚。该中心的主要特点将是采用国际性、综合性和多学科的方法来解决植物生物学中的主要问题，其利用ARC资金的战略，以及与基础科学发现的潜在国家和国际最终用户的联系。

The ARC Centre for Plant Cell Wall Biology will define the regulatory mechanisms that control molecular, enzymic and cellular processes involved in the synthesis, deposition, re-modelling and depolymerisation of cell wall polysaccharides of cereals and grasses. Plant cell walls represent the world's largest renewable carbon resource, but the regulatory mechanisms responsible for their synthesis and assembly are not understood. Key distinguishing features of the Centre will be the international, integrative, and multidisciplinary approach towards addressing major questions in plant biology, its strategy to leverage ARC funding, and its linkages with potential national and international end-users of the fundamental scientific discoveries.
