Two QAAFI students topped the best student presentation awards at the recent Sorghum in the 21st Century conference at Montpellier, France, heading an international field.
Computer simulations are key to bringing aquaculture into line with genetic advances being made in land-based agriculture, according to a University of Queensland researcher.
The first Indigenous PhD scholar at The University of Queensland’s Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) has vowed she won’t be the last.
A comprehensive map of the genome of a native lime species that is resistant to a devastating citrus disease could be the key to preventing that disease entering Australia.
Advances in genetic engineering have given rise to an era of foods – including genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and gene-edited foods – that promise to revolutionise the way we eat.
A mungbean field trial at UQ’s Gatton campus is shedding light on improving yield stability of the high value crop, currently selling for over A$1300 a tonne.
A high-tech plant lab at a Melbourne high school bares the distinctive pinked-hued stamp of Professor Neena Mitter and her team at The University of Queensland.
You might be familiar with the growing body of work that provides evidence for plants being able to sense sounds around them. Now, new research suggests they can also generate airborne sounds in response to stress (such as from drought, or being cut).
Stingless bees are a common sight in northern and eastern Australia. The special honey they produce doesn’t meet current national and international food standards for honey, due largely to differences in sugar composition.
QAAFI PhD candidate Tori Millsteed is one of an elite group named as a 2023 Westpac Future Leader for her research on boosting crop yields through genetics.
