Other Research Examples

Waterlogging (Figure 1.)
Water logging in eucalypts - species/genotype selection and physiological response mechanisms.

Soil Types
Forest species responses to inhibitory soil types.

Hop Cultivar Selection (Figure 2.)

Ecolophysiology
Examples include:
• Responses to elevated CO₂ and temperature
• Response of Nothofagus to elevated CO₂, temperature, and humidity
• Clinal variation in Nothofagus (Figure 3.)

Photo-inhibition
This project looks at the effect of high light intensities and low temperatures on plant growth and their responses (eg anthocyanin production) to cope with these stresses.

Branching and Flowering in Pea
One of the main areas of study is the flowering and branching of peas.
Researchers use a molecular genetic approach to understand more about the basic biology of important processes in plant development. Peas are used as a model system for this.

Hybridisation in Eucaplypts (Figure 4.)

Threatened species
The school is also involved in the ecology and propogation of threatened species such as Lomatia tasmanica (Figure 5.)
