Plant Synbio is driving innovation at the intersection of plant science and synthetic biology, creating sustainable solutions for agriculture, food security and climate resilience.
The ANU Node offers plant synthetic biology services for agricultural species, particularly in oilseeds, cereal crops and legumes. The facility delivers capability across the full synthetic biology cycle, including the design of molecular componentry, genetic editing and transformation and the phenotyping of bio-designed plants, as services available for clients to engage and procure.
Biomanufacturing - produce complex high-value proteins, industrial enzymes and biologics (pdf)
DownloadGene editing - gene disruption and precise sequence modification tailored to crop improvement goals (pdf)
DownloadPlant Transformation - manipulate plant genetics to engineer improved genetic traits (pdf)
DownloadStewardship - materials and data are handled responsibly and in compliance with regulations (pdf)
DownloadSpecialising in synthetic biology in major agricultural crops and ‘model’ plants, the Adelaide node has a fully equipped tissue culture and transformation facility, plus access to secure growth facilities for growing plant material and testing GM crops at scale.
