Since the late 1980's secondary soil salinisation has been recognised as a potentially threatening problem in many of the irrigated cotton growing areas.

Oils having very high levels of oleic acid have superior stability and are valuable for frying and other high temperature applications.

The aim of this project is to produce cotton with increased levels of the two enzymes in the alcohol fermentation pathway through the insertion of extra copies of the genes using Agrobaeterium transformation.

Most pest management practitioners agree that our current approaches are not sustainable and integrated pest management (IPM) is the way of the future.

Nutgrass (Cyperus rotundus) remains one of the major problem weeds of cotton production.
