The project aims to produce the tools and knowledge required to establish plantations of mallee eucalypts for the production of pinocembrin and structurally related flavanones. This is important because these flavanones have been shown to have a range of medicinal applications, including treatment of diseases of the central nervous system. The research plans to focus on producing and establishing trees with improved flavanone content and growth rates, and on understanding the biochemical mechanisms that underlie flavanone production and structural modification. Expected outcomes include supporting the development of profitable plantations in rural Australia and the establishment of plantations more widely in southern Australia, especially on marginal land.

该项目旨在提供建立桉树种植园所需的工具和知识，以生产松香素和结构相关的黄烷酮。这很重要，因为这些黄烷酮已被证明具有一系列的医学应用，包括治疗中枢神经系统疾病。该研究计划重点生产和培育黄烷酮含量和生长速度提高的树木，并了解黄烷酮生产和结构修饰的生化机制。 预期成果包括支持在澳大利亚农村地区发展有利可图的种植园，以及在澳大利亚南部更广泛地建立种植园，特别是在边际土地上。
