#QUT plant scientists & roboticists will lead a $41M, 5-yr project to accelerate development of new varieties of almond, apple, citrus & more to enable efficient & sustainable orchard production - aims to develop orchards suited to harvesting by robots. qut.edu.au/news?id=196130

Congrats to Fikadu Biru, PhD from Professor Scott Johnson and Western Sydney U - HIE showing how elevated CO2 and silicon antagonistically regulate defence metabolites in Wheat sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Out today - in this paper we show that there are dynamic and unexpected cell transcriptional states during seed germination. I'm really proud of Lim Chee Liew 刘玲志 and the whole team - years of work went into this one. doi.org/10.1038/s41477… Nature Plants La Trobe University @Plants4Space
