Smoke taint

When vineyards and grapes are exposed to smoke it can result in wines that are smoky, burnt, ashy or medicinal, which provoke a negative response in consumers. The main goal of this project is to determine the link between grape compositional and wine sensory data and prepare a stock of experimental wines for future work, from grapes exposed to smoke during the 2019-20 bushfires in south-eastern Australia.

Genetic solutions for determining fibre quality traits in sugarcane

This PhD project is comparing a set of genotypes with soft and normal fibre quality, with respect to anatomy (using microscopy and image analysis) and biochemical composition to look for traits linked to fibre quality, and will also use genetic analysis to identify any associations between existing Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) array data and fibre quality measurements.
