The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Joint Facility for Plant Genetic Analysis and Gene Discovery in WA. This project will extend collaboration between Murdoch and UWA by provision of advanced facilities for plant genetic analysis and gene discovery. This will be achieved by purchase of novel equipment for discovery and analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs - single base changes between individual plants) that mark differences in their properties, and by purchase of equipment to underpin gene discovery and analysis of ....Joint Facility for Plant Genetic Analysis and Gene Discovery in WA. This project will extend collaboration between Murdoch and UWA by provision of advanced facilities for plant genetic analysis and gene discovery. This will be achieved by purchase of novel equipment for discovery and analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs - single base changes between individual plants) that mark differences in their properties, and by purchase of equipment to underpin gene discovery and analysis of expression. Provision of this equipment will enable full use of plant growth facilities now under construction, lead to advanced technologies of plant genetic analysis, and discovery of new basic information on fundamental plant processes.Read moreRead less
Arabidopsis DNA binding proteins that control transcription of its mitochondrial genome. The increases in crop output and quality needed to drive the agricultural sector of Australia's future economy will arise from knowledge gained by combining traditional methods and the type of cutting-edge research that identifies plant mitochondrial DNA-binding proteins and their sites of action. Mitochondria are fundamental to many agronomically important traits, including plant growth, fruit ripening and ....Arabidopsis DNA binding proteins that control transcription of its mitochondrial genome. The increases in crop output and quality needed to drive the agricultural sector of Australia's future economy will arise from knowledge gained by combining traditional methods and the type of cutting-edge research that identifies plant mitochondrial DNA-binding proteins and their sites of action. Mitochondria are fundamental to many agronomically important traits, including plant growth, fruit ripening and plant stress and disease defence. Opportunities for the rational manipulation of these and hitherto undiscovered traits will come from new knowledge generated by this project, which will develop and use frontier technologies that will keep Australia at the forefront of international research into mitochondrial structure and function.Read moreRead less
