Environment picture

This project performs genomic analyses of juvenile eucalyptus trees from the Collaborator’s climate-adapted provenance trial at Nardoo Hills. The expected outcome is to identify genetic variation associated with greater fitness in two key revegetation eucalypts, Eucalyptus microcarpa and Eucalyptus melliodora. The project may provide valuable insights into the genetic mechanisms underpinning resilience and adaptation, which are vital for informing conservation strategies and restoring ecosystems.

A&F

This project will establish best practice for insecticide applications in the sheep industry using molecular genetic analysis and computational modelling. The expected outcomes are to understand the level of resistance and cross resistance to the primary insecticides and to use computational modelling to develop optimal strategies for insecticide rotation. This solution will help prolong the usefulness of existing insecticides thereby improving animal health and profitability.
