Funded Activity Summary
Controlling chloride in plants. This project aims to discover novel components that control how plants acquire and manage chloride. Chloride is one of the two ions that commonly cause salt stress, which is a major threat to Australia’s agriculture. Regions affected by salinity are increasing worldwide due to changing weather patterns and poor land management. Knowledge of plant chloride management is underdeveloped, despite the reduction in crop yield caused by high chloride accumulation. The anticipated outcome of this project will inform strategies aimed at selecting for optimised chloride management traits to generate crops with improved yield.Funded Activity Details
