The ARC CoE for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture will make 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 Parallel advances in legal and social frameworks will modernise outdated precedents in these areas, enabling greater scope for commercialisation and public uptake. Through strong industrial and global partnerships and interdisciplinary collaborations, mentoring and communication, the Centre will transform plant science for the next generation.
Centre Director, Professor Christine Beveridge joined the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation (QAAFI) Science Seminars in December 2020, to provide an overview of the Centre’s activities and inclusive approach.
