Developing metabolite and lipid biomarkers to select for reduced frost sensitivity in wheat
Frost events near flowering significantly reduce wheat yields across the Australian cropping belt. Previous research, with limited germplasm, hinted at specific plant tissue composition-metabolites and lipids-as potential contributors to underlying…- Project start date:

Determining the effect of wheat morphological and anatomical traits on frost susceptibility of wheat
In Australian cropping environments, frosts represent a major and increasingly regular constraint to wheat yields and enduring grower profitability. The most damaging frosts are those that occur in spring when cereals are close to, or at flowering.…- Project start date:

Effective virus management in grain crops (C3)
Insects lack the ability to synthesise sterols that are essential for their cellular structure and hormone synthesis. As such, insects require a dietary source of sterol and herbivorous pests, such as aphids, rely on sterols from plants. However,…- Project start date:
