Dr Caitlin Byrt explores strategies for advancing water filtration.
Professor Barry Pogson, from the ANU Research School of Biology, was awarded $2.9 million to create higher-yielding and more resilient 'smart plants' for good and bad seasons.
Distinguished Professor Graham Farquhar has been honoured with a tapestry representing his life's work, including his Kyoto Prize, unveiled at University House.
Professor Geoff McFadden has been awarded the Ralph Slatyer Medal for research in understanding the malaria parasite.
Plant biologist and Head of the Plant Sciences Division at the ANU Research School of Biology, Professor Owen Atkin, has been named the 2019 Vice-Chancellor's Entrepreneurial Fellow for his work around entrepreneurial agri-technology.
To create a future you can look forward to we need to upgrade our crop plant resources. Upgrading crops to improve productivity and adapt to environmental stresses, such as extreme climatic conditions, is key to our future food security and quality of life.

The emergence of widely virulent Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) races over the past two decades has motivated global efforts to identify effective stem rust (Sr) resistance genes.
Plant resistance proteins act as immune receptors to recognise pathogen effectors and activate defense.
As the intermediary between DNA and proteins, RNA has a major regulatory role in gene expression.
The rhizobium-legume symbiosis that occurs within root nodules provides a crucial way for legumes to acquire nitrogen under nitrogen limited conditions.
Intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) is an important trait that influences crop productivity.
In a screen for root mutants of wheat we targeted long hairs as a desirable trait to improve the efficiency of phosphate uptake from soil.
