Funded Activity Summary
NextGen Sorghum: Genomic approaches to novel renewable bioproducts. Next Gen Sorghums will have enhanced nutritional and processing qualities for humans and animals, and be ideal feedstocks for the bio-economy for the delivery of novel products. Our approaches in reverse genetics to identify gene networks which control sorghum seed development, cell size, cell wall thickness and the way in which starch and protein are packaged within the grain will generate knowledge to underpin the future utilisation of this important grain. This will help to drive the future of Australian cereals industries, with health benefits to consumers, the enhanced delivery of specialised feedstocks for novel and renewable bio-products, and financial benefits to farmers.Funded Activity Details
