Research into Plant, Seed and Food Supply Chain Security and Sustainability. We are a motivated group of young scientists with interest in fundamental and applied research in seed biology and engineering. Explore this website for molecular mechanisms of seed traits such as germination, dormancy, longevity, and vigour, as well as for our projects on seed technology and seedling performance with seed industry. Impactful research into improving crop seed quality through environmentally sustainable technologies to benefit the seed industry and promote food security.
