Discover. Connect. Innovate. The ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture is transforming plant science for the next generation through strong industrial and global partnerships, interdisciplinary collaborations, mentoring and communication.

THE WORLD NEEDS PLANT SUCCESS

Global demand for plant production is at an all-time high. As the human population has increased there has been a steady decline in arable land despite a steady increase in average yield per land area. The ARC CoE for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture is making significant advances in the emerging fields of evolutionary systems biology (how plants work and evolve) and predictive analytics (mathematics) to deliver novel strategies for improving ecosystem management, crop resilience, and yield. Parallel advances in legal and social frameworks are modernising outdated precedents in these areas, enabling truly impactful research to be fully recognised, with greater scope for commercialisation and public uptake.

The University of Queensland opens new Plant Futures Facility

A high-tech building with rooms to mimic environments from rainforests to deserts will help Australian plant scientists and industry improve crop productivity and secure future food supplies. The University of Queensland’s $65 million Plant Futures Facility is fitted out with technology to finely control temperature, light intensity, light quality, humidity and CO2 concentration, allowing researchers to better predict plant responses to…

September 2024 Newsletter

The Researcher Development Group (RDG) continues to provide a variety of excellent activities for the Centre! The RDG collaborates across the Centre’s Nodes to identify and develop learning programs that improve research culture and practice. This year, several new members have joined the working group which has helped to bring fresh ideas and initiatives that are empowering Plant Success Early Career Researchers (ECRs). Below, leaders of…
