Funded Activity Summary

Comparative genetics of flowering and photoperiod responsiveness in legumes. The results from this project will add to our basic knowledge of the way in which environmental factors influence flowering in plants. The timing and duration of flowering is a critical determinant of yield for many crop species, and of market value for many ornamental species. A better understanding of the basic genetics and physiology of flowering will thus be relevant for plant breeders and horticulturalists seeking to modify flowering responses to suit particular production strategies, and will help to maintain the strong position of Australia as a world leader in applied aspects of plant/environment interactions. It will also strengthen the international reputation of Australia for high-quality basic research in plant development.
