Project Outline:
Using cutting-edge gene technology and an interdisciplinary approach, this ARC funded project aims to uncover the genes responsible for flower colour in the iconic kangaroo paws of Western Australia, and identify the compounds that produce the colours. The project expects to produce the first entire kangaroo paw genome and identify unique genetic variants and biochemicals underlying colour differences. Projects can be tailored in each of these areas working together with other team members.
