Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture (Centre for Plant Success) is a research centre that combines plant science, mathematics, genetics, agriculture, and law to learn more about what makes plants successful in different environments. The Centre aims to develop new, more effective ways of solving persistent problems in plant science by predicting and improving plant performance in diverse environments.[1] Using quantitative and computational methods the Centre for Plant Success will link gene networks with traits to help address the problems of food security and climate change.[2]
Awarded $35 million in funding by the ARC in 2020, the Centre is planned to run for seven years with Professor Christine Beveridge from The University of Queensland as the Centre Director.[3]
