GRS (Chunsheng Xiao) The molecular mechanism regulating quinolizidine alkaloid content in vegetative tissues and seeds of narrow-leafed lupin (WAARC)
This GRDC investment supports PhD candidate Chunsheng Xiao who is completing her PhD at Murdoch University in lupin alkaloids supported by a GRDC Grains Research Scholarship (GRS). Chunsheng is characterising molecular mechanisms regulating alkaloid content in narrow-leafed lupin, aiming to unravel the intricacies of alkaloid synthesis and transportation.
A GRS supports PhD candidates in delivering innovative research that addresses constraints or builds opportunities for Australian grain growers to help improve their farm business sustainability and profitability. The three-year scholarship, worth over $35,000 per year, provides high-achieving students with the financial and industry support to complete their PhD in an area aligned with GRDC's RD&E Plan 2023-28.
