The funding, announced today by Victoria Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas as part of the Victorian Higher Education State Investment Fund (VHESIF), will be used to fund:
Agriculture Production Platform ($3.5 million), to expand La Trobe’s research glasshouses, creating new growth facilities and controlled environment pods. The refurbished glasshouses will provide a unique facility where industry partners will be able to rapidly optimise management and breeding, and use “big data’ to improve yield, quality and plant health.
Applied Industry Agri Platforms ($6.5 million), to develop lab facilities and infrastructure to house dedicated plant phenomics growth chambers that are digitally accessible to regional industry, researchers and students. Plant phenomics uses high-tech visual apparatus to detect and link plants’ physical characteristics with genes, such as seed quality in terms of composition and high-value products from medicinal plants. ....
