An impressive body of evidence published this week reveals the answer to a mystery that has puzzled plant scientists for more than 30 years
A team of scientists have measured the relative importance of the different obstacles that carbon dioxide (CO2) encounters in its voyage from the atmosphere to the interior of plant cells, where it is converted into sugars.
Our Centre has launched a video about the impact of its work on food security, produced in collaboration with the Australian Academy of Science.
In a recent publication, scientists found that measuring the colour of light reflected from leaves contains a temperature signal, a discovery that will accelerate dramatically the process of finding useful crop traits.
Professor John Evans and Professor Graham Farquhar have been listed as Highly Cited Researchers by the Web of Science
An international long-term research collaboration aimed at creating high yielding and water use efficient rice varieties, has successfully installed part of the photosynthetic machinery from maize into rice.
Watch this amazing episode of the series Q&ARC , a collaboration with other ten Centres of Excellence about the awesome people and fascinating work taking place within the ARC Centres of Excellence.
Register now for an unique Plantae Webinar where three experts in the field of plant science will speak on how scientists are advancing sustainable crops and bio-technologies to make world food security a reality. November 11 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm (AEDT)
A recent Centre paper provides a much needed review on the literature published on leaf mesophyll conductance, creating a “leaf profile” of the different components that are involved in the frantic CO2 journey towards fixation inside the leaf.
