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.

Plants have co-evolved with the atmosphere and the climate and play essential roles in the global hydrological and carbon cycles.
Grass genomes harbour a whole MADS-box gene blueprint of the ABCED model, which is the molecular basis of floral organ identity in angiosperm flowers.
The impacts of climate change on plants are hard to quantify, leading to uncertainties in predicting future gross primary productivity and carbon budgets of (agro)ecosystems.
Professor Ulrike Mathesius, Head of Division, Division of Plant Sciences
Can you think of a fast and efficient plant gene editing method to produce crops that do not succumb to a changing climate?
Rust fungi are a major cause of cereal yield losses worldwide requiring frequent fungicide applications in case crop resistance is overcome by new pathogen variants.
