Shoot structure in nearly all plants impacts on water relations, yield and sustainability. Isolation of novel genes and plant hormone pathways that affect shoot structure should allow us to capture IP for Australia and enhance plant improvement and sustainability. One of the pathways we will investigate produces glucosinolates, small plant-specific molecules that have considerable value as anti-cancer agents in humans. Flavonoids, another pathway regulated in our shoot branching lines, also benefit human health. Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers will gain skills in research management, design, ethics and experimental methods pertinent to the growing biotechnology industry in Australia.

几乎所有植物的芽结构都会影响水关系、产量和可持续性。影响芽结构的新基因和植物激素途径的分离应该使我们能够为澳大利亚获取知识产权并增强植物改良和可持续性。我们将研究的途径之一是产生芥子油苷，这是一种植物特有的小分子，作为人类抗癌剂具有相当大的价值。类黄酮是我们枝条中调节的另一种途径，也有益于人类健康。 研究生和博士后研究人员将获得与澳大利亚不断发展的生物技术行业相关的研究管理、设计、伦理和实验方法方面的技能。
