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 Parallel advances in legal and social frameworks are modernising outdated precedents in these areas, enabling truly impactful research to be fully recognised, with greater scope for commercialisation and public uptake.
This Centre’s loftiest goals transcend any particular trait, technique or species group. From the outset we have been aiming to develop general approaches and discover general principles in analysis, inference and prediction. But at the same time our collective feet are grounded in an eclectic mix of specific study systems, analytical approaches and practical challenges. This “creative tension” is also…
I am excited to share with you the Best Practice Guidelines for the Collection and Transfer of Genetic Resources, a comprehensive framework designed to guide ethical and scientifically sound practices in the management of genetic resources. The guidelines aim to address legal complexities by providing recommendations for researchers and access providers involved in the collection, transfer, and use of genetic materials…
