 RSBS Apomixis Research ARC
 Centre for Improvement of Cereal Crops

Welcome to the homepage of the Australian branch of an international effort to create apomixis in cereal crops, which involves participants (see Links) from public-good and government organisations in cooperation with commercial companies of USA and Europe.

We are using the tools of molecular genetics and deriving useful genes from the apomictic orchids of Australia.

A brief account of the scientific back ground to apomixis is given here. (143 kb pdf).

We are located in the beautiful Snowy Mountains, in Canberra, the capital city of Australia and we welcome visitors and contacts from those who wish to know more.

 
This apomictic orchid is able to asexually swell every ovule with seed.
