  Nanotechnology enabled CRISPR gene editing in crops

  Genome editing of elite varieties of crops is important to generate germplasm that are high-yielding, climate resilient and pathogen resistant. The standard workflow involves the delivery of biomolecule (CRISPR, DNA, RNA), selection of transformants …

  Part B: Enhancing Rhizobia resources to improve N fixation in pulse crops across Australia

  Legumes fix an estimated 3.5 million tonnes of nitrogen pa in Australian agriculture, equivalent to an annual fertiliser cost of $3.5 billion. Inoculating legumes with highly effective rhizobia is key to the ongoing success of this nitrogen fixation …

  Improving the understanding and the effectiveness of N fixation in pulses in Australia

  Legume crops play a key role in Australian farming systems, providing on average 30kg N/ha extra for subsequent crops (ranging from 7 to 60 Kg N/ha). A review on rhizobia research by GRDC in Australia (Herridge 2021) estimated that about 80% of…

  Capitalising on pulse protein food and feed opportunities domestically and internationally

  Australia produced on average 2.8 million tons of pulse crops between 2017-2022 most of which are exported as bulk commodities. There has been growing interest in the utilisation of plant-derived proteins (PDP's) as functional ingredients in…

  Understanding and developing a response to blue green aphid resistance to chemical controls

  Recently, field populations of bluegreen aphids (BGA - Acyrthosiphon kondoi) have been found with resistance to the insecticides omethoate, chlorpyrifos and pirimicarb. This is the first detection of insecticide resistance in BGA in the world. The…
