 Science for Decision Makers - Plant Gene Technology: Improving the Productivity of Australian Agriculture
Topics include an introduction to conventional breeding to plant gene technology, global and Australian status of GM technology, regulations of GM crops in Australia, and benefits of the technology.
- AusBiotech - Australia's Biotechnology Industry Organization
AusBiotech’s mission is to cultivate a supportive environment to enable companies to grow and advance their commercial interests and assist them to become global, thereby positioning Australia’s biotechnology industry as a significant market for attracting international interest and investment.
- Australian Plant Phenomics Facility
Based around automated image analysis of the phenotypic characteristics of extensive germplasm collections and large breeding, mapping and mutant populations. Will exploit recent advances in robotics, imaging and computing to enable sensitive, high throughput analyses to be made of plant growth and function. New technologies will be developed to ensure that the APPF remains at the international forefront of plant science. Research networks and established pathways to market will ensure outcomes are delivered for the long-term benefit for Australian scientists and primary producers. Two nodes: The Plant Accelerator involving the research institutions at the Waite Campus of the University of Adelaide and The High Resolution Plant Phenomics Centre involving CSIRO Plant Industry and the Australian National University in Canberra.
- Biotechnology Australia
Manages the National Biotechnology Strategy and coordinates non-regulatory biotechnology issues for the Australian Government. Provides balanced and factual information on biotechnology to the Australian community, including through our Biotechnology Online school resource.
- Biotechnology Online
Provides balanced and factual information about biotechnology.
- Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR)
Provides administrative support of a national scheme for the regulation of genetically modified organisms in Australia.
