Researchers at The University of Queensland have discovered a previously undetected causal variant of the polled or hornless gene in Australian cattle.
A breakthrough in breeding hybrids of one of Papua New Guinea’s most culturally significant crops could solve growing problems caused by climate change in the Pacific nation.
University of Queensland researchers are calling on Australian cattle producers to provide ticks for testing to better understand the growing resistance of cattle ticks to chemical control.
Converting sugarcane waste to biofuel could become more environmentally friendly and cost effective, thanks to a joint project at The University of Queensland and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.
A trilogy of books about banana production, genetics, and pests and diseases edited by Professor Andre Drenth from The University of Queensland and Prof Gert Kema from Wageningen University will serve as a valuable resource for everything bananas and a good starting point for future research.
A plant signalling gene has been identified as a promising target for breeding cereal crops to produce a steeper, narrower root system architecture, but with associated yield penalties in barley.
A University of Queensland analysis of genetic data from northern Australian cattle has identified key regions of the genome that influence traits like fertility, growth and body condition, sometimes all at the same time.
University of Queensland research has revealed that double-stranded RNA-based biopesticides (dsRNA) sprayed on plant leaves can travel right down into root systems.
Researchers have successfully shown a University of Queensland developed technology can improve the efficacy of a chemical-free flystrike treatment for sheep.
When anyone talks about the future of sustainable aviation fuel, one question dominates: how do we replace fossil carbon without compromising food security or biodiversity? My experience leads me to believe the answer is sugarcane.
