Dairy BIO: Forage Project 1a

DairyBio is the dairy industry’s leading bioscience research program. Its forage program projects like this one are designed to breed plants with higher yield, higher energy, improved digestibility and increased persistence, that will result in increased milk production. DairyBio aims to have cultivars available in 2030 that will improve pasture productivity by up to $800 per hectare per year, and through hybrids, boost the biomass of perennial and annual ryegrasses by 20%. This includes the integration of phenomics, tools that consider how the environment and genes interact, into commercial breeding.

Transformational crop protection - Innovative RNAi biopesticides for management of sugarcane root feeding pests

This project aims to deliver proof-of concept for delivering RNA biopesticides as an innovative non-GM, non-toxic, ecologically safe topical application for the control of canegrubs as serious pests of sugarcane. It will involve identification of the best target genes for RNAi based biopesticides for both cane grubs and soldier fly and testing the RNAi based biopesticides in feeding assays /glasshouse against canegrubs.
