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]
Organisation
The Centre for Plant Success is a collaboration between five Australian Universities - The University of Queensland, University of Tasmania, Queesland University of Technology, Monash University and Western Sydney University. [3] Other collaborators and partners include:
- Bioplatforms Australia
- CSIRO
- Corteva agriscience
- The Crop Trust
- Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation
- CIMMYT
- The University of British Columbia
- Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology
- Colorado State University
- University of Saskatchewan
- Harvard University
- Institute of Genetics And Developmental Biology Chinese Academy of Science
Investigators
The Centre for Plant Success has 17 Chief Investigators, and over 150 other members (Postdoctoral Researchers, Associate Investigators, Partner Investigators, Students and Staff).
