Funded Activity Summary

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.
