Salinity and drought are two detrimental environmental stresses, affecting agricultural productivity and ecosystem health in Australia and around the world. This project will focus on the evolutionary, physiological and molecular aspects of stomatal regulation between wheat, barley and their wild relatives for salinity and drought tolerance. This project will advance the scientific knowledge in the evolution of stomatal regulation in two staple crops wheat and barley. The project will also assist plant breeders with increasing crop salinity and drought tolerance for global food security.

盐度和干旱是两种有害环境压力，影响了澳大利亚和世界各地的农业生产力和生态系统健康。该项目将着重于小麦，大麦及其野生亲戚之间的气孔调节的进化，生理和分子方面，以实现盐度和干旱耐受性。该项目将在两种主食小麦和大麦的气孔调节演变中推进科学知识。该项目还将帮助植物育种者提高农作物盐分和耐旱性，以实现全球粮食安全。
