SETTING THE DIRECTION FOR 2006

An intense strategic planning process that rounded out 2005 has identified and in many ways validated our successes as well as identified opportunities to take a more active role within the discovery science aspects of the national agenda.

We have reviewed our science programs and platforms to ensure they are clearly aligned to community needs within the state, national and global context, all of which demand a strong economic focus, sustainable industries, a healthy population and a science capability that drives innovation into the next century.

We have identified further avenues to achieve momentum, focus and efficiencies through maintaining effective collaborations with industry and our active research provider partners.

SARDI Executive Director, Dr Rob Lewis and Director, Research and Development, Dr Pauline Mooney.

As a prominent bioscience research organisation in South Australia, the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), has an enviable reputation for delivering relevant applied science responsive to the needs of the primary-industry, bioscience and environmental sectors.

This formula has worked well in the past, but the future requires more. Our national and international reputation and positioning is something we must continually strive to enhance.

South Australia’s Strategic Plan aims to reinforce South Australia as a place that thrives on creativity and innovation. SARDI supports this objective through its science and research programs, many of which are outlined in this report.

Moving forward we will focus on embracing and developing new enabling technologies in order to position SARDI at the forefront of knowledge platform development and transformation. All this will be in an environment of growing science with current partners and identifying opportunities to leverage new partners to provide a foundation for future growth and relevance.

Our future will also lie in accelerating our involvement in developing sunrise industries - from biofuel development and managing climate variability through to value-adding and nutrient recycling.

Our major strength is the demographic profile of our staff. Our scientists and PhD students are a blend of brilliant, creative, practical and experienced people, excelling in their fields and in pioneering enabling technologies of the future, all strongly supported by business and commercialisation teams. Organisationally, our priority is to provide a work environment that will facilitate a stable science career pathway and provide for challenging team interactions, to promote excellence in scientific endeavour and embrace thinking outside the square.

At the heart of scientific research and development is acceptance of change. SARDI is well positioned to lead many of these changes, particularly in light of the fact that science and innovation is a central feature of our State’s economy and future identity. We hope you will enjoy seeing what is possible through the Impacts that our science is making.

SARDI supports the work of the Premier’s Science and Research Council by providing advice on areas of research priority and information on the institute’s capabilities in bioscience research. SARDI also works with other research providers and government agencies to assist in meeting South Australia’s Strategic Plan targets relating to Centres of Excellence, formation of Cooperative Research Centres and major national research facilities.

The Marine Innovation SA (MISA) collaboration is an excellent example of these partnerships in action. MISA is a major State Government initiative, with partners SARDI, Flinders University, the University of Adelaide, SA Museum and the seafood industry, working together to underpin the future of the State’s seafood industry. The $25.8 million initiative ($13.7 million State Government and $12.1 million partner funding) has identified key research programs and infrastructure. Several high level scientists will be appointed in 2006, greatly expanding SA’s marine science capability.

We look to play a major role in the Food Innovation South Australia cluster which focuses on value-adding for South Australian industries, with SARDI leading the effort with its expertise in food safety, export access and value-adding in the plant and marine science sectors.

THE ROLE OF SARDI

The South Australian Research and Development Institute - SARDI – is the State Government’s principal research and development capability delivering innovation to enhance the food, fibre and bioscience industries and ecosystem sector.

SARDI carries out research for commercial clients and government-funded programs, focusing on innovative cost-effective technologies to position South Australia’s primary industries and environmental biosciences as internationally competitive and ecologically sustainable.

GROWING PROSPERITY

Highlights

Programs at SARDI are designed to enhance economic performance through meeting specific industry priorities to increase productivity, value-add and enhance exports.

Recent examples of innovative research to boost the capacity of primary producers and processors to compete on export markets and improve their productivity, include:

Value-adding + Safe-guarding + Productivity + Quality = Exports and economic growth

• Food safety assessments that played a pivotal role in assuring food safety with the spin-off of securing export market access.

Through assessments:

– A South Australian tuna processor gained access to US supermarkets to take advantage of the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement. Projections show increased exports of canned tuna will create 50 new jobs and increase annual turnover by $50 million per year.

– The ‘green’ credentials of the farmed Southern Bluefin Tuna industry was assured through benchmarking residue levels. The project was funded by the Aquafin CRC and financial analysis put gains, achieved through validation of food safety standards, at about $40 million per annum.

• A series of food handling procedures designed to keep products in peak condition through support of the Cold Chain Centre in Port Adelaide.

• Release of two apricot varieties (Riverbright and River Ruby) purpose-bred for the dried apricot industry. More than 6500 trees will be available from nurseries for planting in July 2006.

• Three new improved varieties of barley (Sloop SA, Dhow and Maritime), two oat varieties (Mitika and Kangaroo) and a faba bean variety (Fiesta VF) bred for the grain districts of SA offering improved marketability, grain yields, disease resistance and quality. These were developed in conjunction with The University of Adelaide.

• Leading-edge reproductive technologies – Jivet and Mivet to improve economic efficiency of the wool and beef industries.

The application of the Monash Econometric Model to determine the economic development of these developments together with other SARDI programs, predict ‘a life of research outcome’ contribution of $1070 million to South Australia’s gross domestic

product.

SARDI’s John Carragher is part of the value-adding drive in science to boost entry into export markets.

GROWING PROSPERITY Chinese tastebuds spark export drive

9Chinese tastebuds spark export drive

It was the Chinese taste for small red rock lobsters that persuaded Adelaide-based seafood exporter Ferguson Australia that it needed to diversify its business and refocus its products to win new markets.

SARDI IMPACTS Growing Prosperity

Most of South Australia’s rock lobster catch – from small and large to red and white shelled lobsters – is exported live to China. But large lobsters and white shelled animals attract dramatically reduced prices from the Chinese who want only small reds, and will pay a premium price to get them.

The company wanted to create new products to add value to the large and white shelled lobsters. The problem facing the company however was that to develop new export products, such as cooked and raw ready-to-eat lobster and lobster oil, it needed to understand the quality characteristics of lobster flesh, including possible differences between lobsters of different sizes and shell colours harvested from different locations and at different times in the season.

It also needed to be informed on other aspects of providing a premium product, such as knowing where the tastiest portions of the lobster are to be found, how to handle them, how to cut the shell without shattering it, the packaging required, improved shelf life and marketing strategies.

Ferguson Australia approached SARDI and Flinders University in 2003, to help them develop a set of innovative solutions to these challenges. Together, the two organisations established a joint research project which has the potential to significantly increase the value of the South Australian rock lobster industry.

“When Ferguson Australia first formulated their idea, they didn’t know where to go to draw together all the research they needed,” says SARDI scientist, Dr John Carragher. “Now, with the recent establishment of Marine Innovation SA, we can harness the capabilities and infrastructure across all the relevant institutions to produce the best outcomes. One of MISA’s major research areas looks specifically at seafood quality and value-adding, and the State will benefit from new capabilities in this area.”

Dr Carragher said MISA is currently planning another project with the Australian Southern Rock Lobster Company to exploit new markets in the European Union and the United States. The project will consider the additional time constraints in getting the live lobsters to these destinations in the best condition.

Will Ferguson from Ferguson Australia says the company now exports most of its value-added range to Hong Kong, Europe, the UK and Japan. The company has won numerous awards for its innovation in quality seafood products.

David, who describes himself as an ‘interface’, works closely with SA industry to open up new markets and position SA exporters to take advantage of opportunities in overseas markets.

He has been instrumental in maintaining market access for SA southern bluefin tuna into the Japanese market and providing technical support for SA companies in other markets including Korea, US, Europe and the United Arab Emirates. SA yellowtail kingfish and mulloway producers have been provided with technical information on trade standards for Singapore, the USA and Hong Kong.

David is now working to help get SA southern bluefin tuna into the emerging Chinese market.

The work of the SARDI Food Safety Research Program, of which David is a member, is estimated to be worth $40 million a year to the SA southern bluefin tuna aquaculture industry. That is in addition to the $50 million benefit from gaining access for canned tuna from the Port Lincoln cannery into the US market.

David’s ‘interface’ role, which ranges from ambassador and negotiator to regulator, involves extensive travel because face-to-face discussion is the best way of avoiding misunderstandings and building relationships with people in key positions in importing countries. These relationships are vital to gaining and maintaining market access.

His research skills come to the fore in the area of regulatory issues related to dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and mercury levels; major issues for the Japanese market.

Food Safety specialist, David Padula, is opening export markets for South Australia’s key industries through his knowledge of how to specify product safety.

Using evidence-based science and excellent negotiating skills, the SARDI team has been able to convince the Japanese Government that, when it comes to low levels of mercury, SA farmed southern bluefin tuna is clearly among the best in the world. This differentiation not only ensures continued access but has gained a significant marketing advantage for SA producers in the Japanese market.

His science background means David can deal on an equal footing with scientists from research institutes and regulatory organisations as well as with industry and government representatives. This has helped gain SA credibility and ‘equivalence’ status with Japanese and Chinese government regulators and recognition of SARDI’s research results for official trade purposes by the Japanese Government and the European Commission.

SARDI IMPACTS Growing Prosperity

David is currently working on a market access guide of product integrity standards in overseas markets to make global seafood markets more accessible to SA seafood producers.

This is all part of helping SA aquaculture producers position their products as safe, reputable, and consistent, opening the door to new export markets.

Dr Chris Williams, a potato-nutrition specialist, used his nous to discover a major cause of poor berry set in grapes for the world’s grape industry.

A world problem worth spraying for

A major cause of poor fruit set and berry development in mature vines has been solved – in a development that is drawing interest from around the world.

An expert in potato nutrition, Dr Chris Williams, pieced together the puzzle. He had seen molybdenum deficiencies in vegetables and knew of the problems it could cause for vegetable seed development.

Armed with information that some sites in the Adelaide Hills had produced zig-zag growth in young vines, a possible sign of molybdenum deficiency, he had the idea to test if deficiency could also harm bunch yield in mature vines.

Williams’ team set up trials in 2000 to investigate if a lack of this essential micro-nutrient might explain unsolved disorders of shot berry and seedless berries at harvest in Merlot. Initially the link wasn’t easy to prove as the deficiency is more prevalent in cold weather, conditions that eluded the researchers in the first season’s round of experiments. However the team persisted with another round – and it paid off – with unequivocal responses at all sites. This was the first record verifying that molybdenum was a key factor involved in poor seed formation and low yield for Merlot.

SARDI IMPACTS Growing Prosperity

“The disorders resulted from the grape’s flowers not being pollinated or fertilised normally,” Dr Williams said. “We were first in the world to show that molybdenum deficiency was one of the main causes of poor seed formation and low yield in Merlot.”

The answer to this Merlot disorder has come in the form of pre-flowering remedial molybdenum sprays. Subjected to SARDI field trials over three years at three on-farm sites in the Adelaide Hills, the research proved that pre-bloom foliar sprays of molybdenum significantly increased bunch yields through benefiting seed formation, and improved berry seed in seasons of poor molybdenum uptake.

Mr Alan Dean, chairman of the Central Committee of the South Australian Phylloxera and Grape Industry Board, said the results that occurred in the trial plots had been quite outstanding. “Since moly has been applied on Merlot, the fruit sets in the Adelaide Hills have seen a great improvement,” he said.

Grapegrower Barry Miller, who conducted on-farm remedial spray trials with SARDI at his Lower Hermitage vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, was so impressed by the results he saw on his Merlot grapes that he now routinely sprays his entire vineyard as ‘insurance’.

“results have been quite outstanding”

Mr Alan Dean, chairman of the Central Committee of the South Australian

Phylloxera and Grape Industry Board

“When it’s cool and drizzly through flowering, the moly helps the fruit set,” he explained. “Because you never know when it’s going to be cool and drizzly during flowering, it pays to put moly on so it’s there to help the vines if you do have cool weather.”

Last year Barry extended the spraying to his Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, a notoriously poor setter. “This year we used it on Chardonnay as well,” he said. “We haven’t done any trials to see if molybdenum works on the other varieties but, after seeing the results on the Merlot, I think it’s worth spraying for.”

New research is focusing on the remedy and also defining the window of opportunity for the most effective timing and application rate of the essential micronutrient and its sustainability.

The results of the initial research have been internationally published and acclaimed – with viticulturists the world-over now in contact with Dr Williams seeking an approach to address an age-old problem.

SARDI Adds Value

To compete in the tough international marketplace, Australia’s wheat industry depends on its ability to supply high quality grain suited to the changing requirements of its customers.

Elite wheat to boost export opportunities

Geoff Cornish and Marie Appelbee at SARDI’s wheat quality research group play a crucial role in identifying wheat with attractive cooking properties to give growers an edge on world markets.

For bread manufacture, properties such as high dough strength and extensibility are desirable properties which are governed largely by flour protein content and composition. The protein fraction with the greatest influence on dough quality is glutenin, and extensive glutenin genetic variation exists, especially in wild wheat progenitors.

SARDI’s wheat quality research group has made considerable progress screening both cultivated and exotic germplasm for rare and novel glutenin alleles that may, when introduced into well-adapted Australian germplasm, improve the bread-making potential of bread wheat cultivars.

It is envisaged that elite quality germplasm developed in the course of this project will be made available to Australian breeding programs and that there will be greater returns to growers through higher classification of new wheat varieties.

It will also provide more market opportunities for Australian wheat varieties that have special quality characteristics tailored to particular niche end products.

A portfolio of interlinked research is supporting the development and sustainability of South Australia’s $200 million southern bluefin tuna (SBT) aquaculture industry. In collaboration with Flinders University, Adelaide University and the Aquafin CRC, SARDI conducts research into baitfish (for SBT diets), tuna metabolism and tuna product quality.

Tuning-up the tuna industry

This research enables the tuna industry to refine its feeding and management practices, to reduce production costs and to improve the quality of tuna products.

With feed a large component of production costs for SBT, research focuses on assisting farmers to use feed as efficiently as possible. One of the major sources of feed currently used is freshly caught local Australian sardines which have vitamin E levels ranging from 8 to 12mg/kg, much higher than many imported feeds. Vitamins E and C are particularly important for health and product quality.

The vitamin levels of stored baitfish are also important to watch, as nutritional changes that occur in frozen pilchards halve vitamin E levels after six months in commercial freezers.

The tuna metabolism project, led by The University of Adelaide, aims to measure the oxygen requirement of SBT and understand how tuna utilise dietary energy. In a world first, scientists measured the oxygen consumption of free-swimming tuna by feeding the fish in a 240 cubic metre oxygen chamber. This established that SBT use oxygen at about twice

the rate of other farmed fish and that the oxygen requirement of SBT increases for approximately 12 hours after a large meal. This discovery will assist managing tuna in situations where low dissolved-oxygen levels are potentially harmful to SBT.

Good product quality is critical to maintaining high prices and Aquafin’s latest product quality research has focused on measuring the effects of different blends of baitfish on the final quality of the tuna produced. This revealed that the fresh local sardines produce tuna with longer shelf life than tuna fed on other baitfish.

Steven Clarke is the major force behind the tuna research portfolio at SARDI and is recognised for playing a significant national role in the management of tuna research and development. His current roles include leadership of the Aquafin CRC production and value-adding program, and subprogram leader of the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation SBT aquaculture subprogram. Industry communication continues to be a priority and Dr Jeff Buchanan, as leader of SARDI’s tuna subprogram, tabled research outcomes at Port Lincoln in May 2005 and to the Aquafin conference in Hobart in July 2005.

With Australia already at the forefront of the international abalone aquaculture industry, SARDI’s Dr Xiaoxu Li is involved in an abalone genetic improvement program to supervise breeding activities and assist with commercialisation of the improved stocks.

Potential big savings for abalone industry

Abalone research projects to generate faster growing abalone are set to save abalone farms $13 million in operating costs.

Total commercial production in 2004/05 was some 300 tonnes, worth about $12.2 million, and it is expected to grow at 20% per year for the next 10 years as more farms reach commercial production levels and others increase their production targets. Forecast production for 2014 is approximately 1500 tonnes worth $610 million.

If a 30% increase in growth rate were achieved over three generations by an appropriately designed selective breeding program, it could save farms $8.50 in operating costs for each kilogram of abalone produced.

This means that operating savings in 2014 would be about $13 million, equal to the total value of Australian aquaculture abalone product in 2004/05. Higher cost savings can be expected if other traits such as disease resistance, temperature resistance and food conversion efficiency are included in the breeding objectives.

The project has received strong support from the abalone aquaculture industry.

Six years of study have brought entomologists Megan Leyson and Dennis Hopkins to the conclusion that unmitigated violence is the best way to control snails infesting South Australia’s cereal, pulse and oilseed crops.

“Bash’em, burn’em and bait’em,” they recommend to growers, in a 40-page colour booklet presenting their integrated snail management package.

Conical or white snails are high on nuisance value. Their hard shells can delay harvest by damaging equipment and can contaminate or damage grain, posing a threat to exports.

Feedback from rural communities suggests the booklet is bang on and already leading to significant improvements in control.

The publication covers in-field control measures – that’s the bashing, burning and baiting part – as well as adaptations to harvest machinery and post harvest cleaning strategies.

The research, funded by GRDC and SAGIT, was led by SARDI in collaboration with the University of Adelaide, CSIRO Entomology, University of South Australia, Yorke Peninsula Alkaline Soils Group, Rural Solutions SA and private consultants.

Nurture a diverse array of soil-dwelling predatory mites and you’ve got an effective biological control for the citrus industry’s key pest – Kelly’s Citrus Thrips.

SARDI entomologist Greg Baker, in collaboration with University of Adelaide colleague Peter Crisp, has demonstrated that boosting soil organic carbon levels and grass groundcover, while avoiding the use of specific insecticides, substantially increases beneficial mite populations and citrus thrips’ mortality.

Fostering predatory populations in this way appears to provide the citrus industry with a biological alternative for citrus thrips control, and an important circuit-breaker to the insecticide treadmill that currently occupies many in the industry. Another positive is that orchards with a high component of grassy groundcover generally support higher soil predator densities.

The work also identified two commonly used citrus insecticides – chlorpyrifos and methidathion – that are highly detrimental to these beneficial predators.

Greg Baker presented a paper on this HAL-supported research at the Organic World Congress in Adelaide in September 2005.

Thrips Wilt Under Damage Control

In 1999, western flower thrips and tomato spotted wilt virus caused an estimated $40 million worth of damage to vegetable production in Adelaide’s northern market garden community at Virginia. Many say its cost to the industry and the region was twice that much, but what is certain is that it posed a major issue for the future of the whole area.

That was before Tony Burfield, SARDI Entomology’s integrated pest management adoption coordinator, moved in to work in partnership with local vegetable growers, private consultants and the many businesses that provide the support services to the growers.

For the past four years Tony has pushed the cause for integrated pest management of western flower thrips, an important vector of the tomato spotted wilt virus. By promoting optimal spray technology, monitoring of insect pests, bio-control programs, weed control strategies and targeted use of pesticides, his project has reduced the pest status of the western flower thrips in local vegetable crops.

“There have been some really significant changes to the way the growers use chemicals and the way they make decisions about the need to spray,” Tony says. “This has resulted in a major reduction of damage to vegetable production for growers adopting research supported practices. Participating greenhouse growers have experienced an average 30% annual increase in production over the past three years, together with a 25-50% reduction in chemical use.”

The ongoing success of the program has led to the establishment of two similar projects in NSW and Queensland, and the creation of a national integrated pest management research and extension network.

The HAL-funded project was recently reviewed by an independent consultant and received a favourable report card for its achievements.

Australia’s sheep and cattle industries already have much to thank Ian Carmichael for. The prime lamb industry is the next in line to benefit from Dr Carmichael’s efforts.

Parasitologist at the cutting-edge

Dr Carmichael, SARDI’s Chief Veterinary Parasitologist, is co-ordinating a million-dollar research project to identify and minimise the losses caused by intestinal parasites in prime lamb production systems across southern Australia (Victoria and SA).

The catalyst for this ground-breaking Meat and Livestock Australia-supported project originates from a SARDI-resourced project in which Dr Carmichael and his team raised questions about the parasite control methods being used in the industry.

Australia’s rapidly-growing prime lamb industry is a complex of intricate production systems and sub-systems ranging from rangeland enterprises using pure-bred Merinos to intensive production units based on first-cross and second-cross lambs. These different production systems operate in a variety of climatic and rainfall environments.

Each variation in the system has the potential to influence the impact of parasites on productivity, making this research project one of the most challenging – and potentially most valuable – of its type ever undertaken.

In a previous project Dr Carmichael and his team found parasites of the digestive tract – gut worms – were reducing the productivity of lambs being finished on spray-irrigated pastures. The team also worked out how to largely eliminate that threat using rotational grazing and alternate grazing by cattle to reduce the worm burden.

This allowed sheep to be run on the pasture for up to six months without significant losses due to worms.

Dr Carmichael also headed a recently completed research project that demonstrated that liver fluke and worms of the gut were reducing the productivity of dairy herds in southern Australia

While he is a researcher of international standing, Dr Carmichael is also a skilled administrator, and is making a major contribution to the industry in this area.

He heads SARDI’s Grazing Production Systems group, is involved in the national Beef CRC’s research activities and is the SA government representative on the Southern Australian Beef Research Council that oversees beef research in southern Australia. He serves on the Council of the SA Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science and chairs the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee for the Minister for the Environment.

SARDI’s Food Safety Research Program is a collaboration with The University of Adelaide and provides specialist risk assessment and food safety research capabilities for all commodities and industry sectors.

Led by Dr Andrew Pointon, the program aims to protect public health and underpin economic development of food industries.

“There is no let-up in food safety and consumers, regulators and export markets are increasingly seeking assurance,” Dr Pointon said.

“Our research aims to assist industries and regulators to identify the major food-borne risks from production to consumption and what can be done to improve consumer protection cost-effectively.”

Major projects of the team include industry risk profiling, market access, value-adding, shelf-life and cool chain management, industry benchmarking, food processing efficacy and supporting the setting of food safety standards.

The multi-disciplinary team was formed in 2001 and draws on scientists from the fields of epidemiology, veterinary public health, medical, statistical analysis, toxicology, predictive microbiology, risk modelling, chemical engineering, food microbiology, bioactive assessment and risk communication. In just four years they can boast an impressive list of achievements that has helped prevent food contamination and open export markets.

In 2004, the team helped the State’s food exporters achieve a benefit of at least $90 million through assuring food safety.

Other successes include providing data for consumer intake modelling to support advisory statements and standards development for Food Standards Australia New Zealand, and helping develop pre-harvest food safety systems for Australian Pork Limited and Meat & Livestock Australia Ltd.

By using internationally recognised risk assessment principles, the work supports market access and consequently industry development. The program is attracting national support with a growing number of grants awarded to the team.

ATTAINING SUSTAINABILITY

Highlights

SARDI programs pursue innovation in environmental science to develop ecologically sustainable industries, to more effectively manage arable land, water and energy resources and to better understand climate and foster biodiversity.

• To encourage responsible use of water in the River Murray Catchment, scientists delivered reliable models to show drainage from irrigated horticulture at both the farm and district levels.

In line with priorities to protect marine biodiversity and install protected marine areas, scientists:

• Provided scientific advice on the sustainable development, use and where necessary, rehabilitation of near-shore coastal systems to ensure their long-term ecological viability. This will ultimately assist in defining suitable habitats for marine protection.

• Addressed the management and rehabilitation of coastal environments impacted by urban settlements by interlinked research programs. Initiatives included developing new methods to rehabilitate seagrass, contributions to the Adelaide Coastal Water Study and overseeing community-based monitoring of reefs.

• Undertook pioneering satellite tracking research to study the feeding ecology of Little Penguins in the Great Australian Bight.

Ecosystem integrity + Managing effectively + Preserving biodiversity + Renewable energy + Climate tools = Sustaining natural resources

23

In support of protecting native vegetation/biodiversity in South Australia’s Natural Resource Management Plans, SARDI:

• Identified two biological control agents for Paterson’s curse (Salvation Jane). The value of flea beetle, an agent that attack leaves and roots of plants has been confirmed and will be widely established within SA within three years. Another agent, a seed-feeding beetle has been successfully released. This means the State now has four biological control agents for the weed.

In line with targets to reduce ecological footprint from agriculture progress, was made in:

• Developing capability for a novel, integrated, farming and biological waste-water management system that will produce bio-fuels, aquaculture and horticulture products. The system will reduce environmental risks and maximise production for regionally based intensive livestock industries.

• Delivering advanced climate risk tools to 300 farmers across the full spectrum of agricultural industries – wool, beef, grain and horticulture – mirroring sustained interest in previous years.

A major focus for platform development at SARDI is in inland aquaculture, sustainable irrigation, climate application tools and supporting the local biofuels industry.

Amy’s role at SARDI is to probe the delicate interplay between irrigation, root zone salinity and wine styles – and a Langhorne Creek vineyard is her living laboratory.

Getting this trio in balance will help lay the foundation for the wine industry to maintain a healthy environment while producing a quality product to earn export sales.

One of the great successes in the wine industry has been the widespread uptake of drip irrigation saving millions of litres while giving wine makers the means to produce high quality grapes for wine styles – a win for the environment and marketing.

However as irrigation efficiency has risen, so too has the possibility of root zone salinisation.

Amy will make use of a computer simulation model developed by her Flinders University supervisor, Dr John Hutson, to predict long-term salinity accumulation. From this, growers will be able to foretell the impacts of various irrigation regimes on the productivity of their vineyard. SARDI research veterans and supervisors Drs Mike McCarthy (viticulture) and Gerrit Schrale (irrigation) are supporting the research effort with Amy also able to access the expertise of recent irrigation recruit, Dr Tapas Biswas.

PLATFORM DEVELOPMENT

The fore-runner to the project began four years ago when parcels of vineyards were planted for trials at Orlando Wyndham’s Langhorne Creek to establish the link between irrigation and wine styles with support from the Cooperative Research Centre for Viticulture and the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation.

That link well established, the scope broadened when the CRC for Irrigation Futures became involved in funding Amy’s scholarship to encompass the environmental impacts that arise from reduced water use. The research is a prime example of collaboration between two CRCs, an industry fund, SARDI and Orlando Wyndham who have planted vineyards, provided drip irrigation and technical support for the project.

The project has recently drawn more support with the Langhorne Creek Wine Industry Council injecting funds to apply the research to four other soil types in their region. The aim is to lessen the risk of developing increased root zone salinity during droughts and times of high water salinity from nearby Lake Alexandrina.

“The sustainable use of irrigation water is an important issue facing the wine industry and we need to know more about how we can balance water efficiency, grape quality and the health of the environment.

We are only too happy to be backing these ground-breaking experiments by devoting land and purpose-built vineyards to the effort. Anything that SARDI’s Mike McCarthy designs works well – he is renowned for high Russell Johnstone,

National Technical Services Manager, Orlando Wyndham

quality research and attention to detail and this is now strengthened through his colleagues and the addition of a high-calibre PhD student in Amy Richards.

We see saving billions of litres of water annually as making a wider contribution to the community through understanding how to reduce water use, produce great products and keep salinity in check.”

SARDI Adds Value

PhD Student Amy Richards is working on an important model to identify when irrigated vines are at risk of accumulating salts in the root zone. At SARDI her efforts are supported by Dr Michael McCarthy (supervisor), Dr Tapas Biswas (recent recruit) and Dr Gerrit Schrale (supervisor). Their work will lay the foundation for the wine industry to maintain a healthy environment while producing a quality product to earn export sales.

SARDI’s vision of establishing inland aquaculture parks in South Australia’s Riverland moves closer to reality with the design and construction for its Waikerie Inland Saline Aquaculture Centre due for completion in 2006.

SARDI research team Tim Flowers and Wayne Hutchinson rear baby mulloway for the biosaline project.

Research at the new centre will focus on attracting private sector investment in commercial aquaculture parks, using saline ground water discharged from salt interception schemes along the River Murray. In the Waikerie region, 93 bores intercept 30 million litres of saline groundwater per day – water that would otherwise enter the Murray.

The centre will also provide an integrated R&D demonstration and training facility that will be used to evaluate the commercial aquaculture potential of selected species and culture systems designed to utilise the daily discharge of saline groundwater. The overall aim of the research, funded by the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality, is to develop by 2013 a sustainable inland aquaculture industry worth more than $20 million per annum.

Inland aquaculture laps up Murray salt

Visits to the USA and Israel last year by SARDI research scientists Tim Flowers and Wayne Hutchinson identified appropriate culture systems for demonstration at the new Waikerie centre. This was followed by the signing of a memorandum of understanding between SARDI and the State of Israel Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture to encourage collaborative research on inland saline aquaculture.

Biodiesel SARDI is developing research capability in biofuels with an initial focus on biodiesel. The impetus for the biodiesel industry in Australia strengthens as concerns grow about pressure on world grain and oil prices. The biodiesel industry is a significant force in the US and Europe and is rapidly emerging as a new industry sector in Australia. In South Australia, Australian Renewable Fuels is about to commission its first biodiesel production plant in the State, with a second plant in WA with a long term goal of supplying 5% of the Australian market. To be successful will require enhanced varieties in crop-based feedstocks and the development of additional novel feedstocks – like microalgae. SARDI has begun trialing the development of brassica crops for biodiesel. Through research and innovation, Australia could become an international leader in biodiesel systems and technologies thus underpinning emerging manufacturing and primary production industries.

Animal waste a new resource

Pollution from intensive farming systems is a current environmental concern. In Australia, intensive animal systems housing pigs, poultry, turkeys, dairy cattle, feedlot cattle and horses, as well as food processing industries, have resulted in an animal waste disposal problem.

SARDI scientists prepare a full-size model to demonstrate the feasibility of turning animal waste into biogas and recycle nutrients for land-based aquaculture systems. Left to right: Dr Babu Santhanam, Dr Bennan Chen, Dr Ben Dearman, Dr Martin Kumar (leader), Paul Harris, Khalid Shamim.

Seepage into ground water, or run-off into streams and rivers, is one of the causes of increasing concentration of nitrates and phosphates in drinking water. This has led to the Environmental Biotechnology CRC’s integrated bioprocess system project focusing on developing an integrated farming system that can utilise agricultural and food processing waste streams and turn them into a resource.

The term integrated farming refers to an approach to farming which integrates the management of enterprises, particularly biogas generation and aquaculture, with existing livestock/agriculture farming systems.

This multidisciplinary, collaborative project led by SARDI’s Dr Martin Kumar involves investigations based at the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy campus and laboratory-based pathogen investigations at Murdoch University, Western Australia. Numerous laboratory-scale and pilot-scale experiments have been conducted with promising results. These have focused on the first stage of treatment – anaerobic digestion, followed by algal culture to remove nitrogen and phosphorus – and fish tolerance to ammonia.

The basic aim is to provide industry with options to adopt a system suitable to its circumstances and needs. The underlying benefit of the project is to develop integrated bioprocesses that provide sustainable waste stream management and, at the same time, produce valuable bioproducts that improve the financial bottom line of industry while protecting the environment.

SARDI Entomologists have ‘natural designs’ on Virginia to beat its major horticultural problems – pests, disease and weeds. The solution benefits both rural and urban dwellers who live side by side in South Australia’s ‘salad bowl’ region, north of the city.

SARDI’s ‘designs’ on Salad Bowl dilemma

Entomologist Glenys Wood has worked closely with Playford Council’s Adrian Marshall, to use native vegetation to replace weeds and suppress sprays to benefit Adelaide’s salad bowl.

Not only will it lower pest insect numbers and reduce weeds, it will produce clean and green crops, create a healthier living environment, beautify the surroundings, encourage biodiversity and provide a ‘buffer’ zone between rural and urban activities.

The innovative solution is ‘Revegetation by Design’, a project which aims to substantially cut the area’s multi-million dollar drain caused by pests and disease attracted to its weeds. Research officer, Glenys Wood, says the catalyst for the project was the exotic western flower thrips insect, the major carrier of a plant virus that has caused annual crop losses and management overheads of around $25 million.

ATTAINING SUSTAINABILITY

“We believe that insect problems on the Northern Adelaide Plains can be significantly reduced by a program of weed replacement or ‘revegetation by design’ introducing native plants that suppress pest insects and disease while hosting beneficial insects,” says Ms Wood.

“When strategically placed, perennial native vegetation can generate and maintain populations of beneficial insects such as ladybird beetles, parasitic wasps, lacewings and a wide range of spiders that prey on the crop pests.

28

29“We are in the process of assessing the best mix of native plants to provide the maximum benefit as refuge and food plants for the beneficial insects, while at the same time not supporting the pests and diseases. We are looking at 15 varieties of perennial native plants and 22 weed species to ascertain insect abundance and diversity on these plants.”

The benefits are many, according to Ms Wood. “The successful uptake of the program by local growers who are closely involved with the project will substantially reduce the use of pesticides, contribute toward sustainable pest management, combat soil erosion, increase biodiversity, potentially lead to the establishment of new marketable crops in the area such as native flowers and edible seeds or fruit, and improve the general landscape.”

The project partners are: Australian Government’s Envirofund and Sustainable Regions Program, Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, PIRSA, Natural Heritage Trust, City of Playford, Virginia Horticulture Centre, Horticulture Australia Ltd, Northern Adelaide Plains Landcare Management Group and the Northern Adelaide and Barossa Catchment Water Management Board.

SARDI IMPACTS Attaining Sustainability

Plant pollen is being used to determine the movement of insects in the landscape. The pollen sticks to foraging insects and can be used as a marker to track their movements.

“The outcome of this research is providing a pathway toward a sustainable horticultural industry for the Northern Adelaide Plains.”

In four short years, Dr Qifeng Ye has established both herself and SARDI Aquatic Sciences as national leaders in inland waters ecology. Known for her pioneering work to rehabilitate native fish in the River Murray, Dr Ye began as the sole scientist – and sole staff member – of SARDI’s Inland Waters sub-program, which was part of the Environment and Ecology Program, in 2001.

Under Dr Ye’s stewardship, Inland Waters has grown to 14 staff, charged with 15 projects informing crucial national and state strategic planning in native fish and invasive species management.

By July, 2005, Inland Waters, with a multi-million budget, had grown so significantly that it is now a program in its own right.

Dr Ye now initiates and oversees projects which are breaking new ground in supporting the sustainable management of our inland waters system. These projects are developing our understanding of ecosystem processes, the ecology and population dynamics of the estuarine and freshwater fishes, molluscs and crustaceans and their environment, as well as the ecology of freshwater and riparian vegetation.

The work of Dr Ye and her team provides the information needed to support inland fisheries and habitat management, the development of wetland management plans, environmental flow strategies, fish passage restoration, recruitment of native fish species and the control of invasive species.

This year for example Inland Waters starts working in collaboration with local universities and other state agencies on a three-year $2.2 million project supported by the CSIRO Water for a Healthy Country Flagship Collaboration Fund to provide biophysical knowledge of the Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth system. The study will form the basis of an ecosystem model for the integrated catchment management for sustainable water use in temperate Australia.

“I’m passionate about fish conservation and biology,” says Dr Ye. “In SA, research for inland waters particularly freshwater fish ecology is understudied, so there are lots of opportunities for me to develop and shape the program and establish good research procedures in this area.

“Also, the work I do as a research scientist with SARDI is very rewarding because it is applied science – I can see how my knowledge and research outcomes directly contribute to the sustainable management of our aquatic resources.”

Dr Ye, whose group devised the major tri-state six-year project for the Murray Darling Basin Commission to enhance fish passage along the River Murray, is a key member of six high level national and state committees including the Murray Darling Basin Commission Fish Management and Scientists Committee, Murray Cod Reference Group and the Living Murray Regional Evaluation Group.

Dr Ye’s studies and research have taken her from China to Thailand and then the USA where she completed her PhD in fisheries science. She joined SARDI as a senior scientist in 1998 to lead an FRDC funded research project on southern sea garfish.

Forging a new frontier in Greenpatch

The paddock photographed the day after the devastating Eyre Peninsula fires.

In January 2005, Phil Hyde’s property at Greenpatch near Port Lincoln was one of many devastated by the Eyre Peninsula fires.

Nine months later with the help of good spring rains he was up to his knees in lush banks of SARDI clover, burnt paddocks restored and a rebuilt seed bank.

Mr Hyde dry-seeded 140 hectares with the SARDI-bred, early maturing balansa clover, Frontier, in late May. His story is a prime example of the contribution SARDI’s pasture varieties can make to rebuilding soil health.

“The fires were pretty horrendous. We lost most of our property, including 1200 sheep from a flock of 3600, two-thirds of our fencing and 10,000 bales of hay. By the end of the day, we were one of the lucky ones – our house did not burn.

“It will take a long time to recover, but we would never have expected such prolific pasture growth so soon after the fire. The property looks beautiful this Spring now,” he said.

Mr Hyde said he planted Frontier clover with a mix of rye-grass on the advice of local agronomist, Denis Pedler from Carr’s Seeds.

“Frontier looks to have a good capability of regeneration. By sowing this pasture we are putting nitrogen back into the soil for the following crops, and it’s good feed for the sheep.”

Mr Pedler says Frontier suits many Eyre Peninsula property characteristics because it tolerates mild, seasonal salinity and water-logging, and is a good aerial seeder.

“Frontier suits wet paddocks, gives increased production compared to most other balansa clovers or subclovers,” said Mr Pedler. “It’s also an aerial seeder. The seeds are so small they may blow around in the wind, so you can place it in inaccessible areas and the seed can spread itself. Some farmers are using planes to spread Frontier in late summer, giving the seed enough time to be distributed ready for opening rains. The seed is so small, it only needs about a millimetre of soil cover.”

Frontier is one of many successful cultivars developed by the SARDI Pasture Group, which include a range of annual medics and sub-clovers all of which have their own niche subject to soil type, rainfall and farming rotation.

The value of SARDI-bred pasture is highlighted in the recovery of Phil Hyde’s farm following the 2005 Eyre Peninsula bushfires.

Growth in Cooperative Research Centres

SA’s growing reputation for its world-class primary industries and related research and development capability was reinforced in 2004-05 with SARDI’s success in the latest round of the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program.

The Cooperative Research Program is designed to enhance performance and efficiencies through a collaborative approach to research and SARDI has involvement in five of the 14 new CRCs and one of two supplementary projects.

SA has become the national headquarters for a $25.75 million CRC for an Internationally Competitive Pork Industry, aimed at reducing production costs and increasing demand for quality pork and niche products.

The seven-year CRC will be based at Roseworthy campus where its core participants, SARDI and the University of Adelaide, will run programs in pig nutrition and reproduction.

This investment is expected to attract some $11 million in additional cash and some $40 million of in-kind contributions from public and private sector participants.

The development builds on the State’s investment in the Pig and Poultry Production Institute now celebrating a decade of achievements.

In summary the CRCs from the 2004 Selection Round in which SARDI is participating are:

• The CRC for an Internationally Competitive Pork Industry (details above).

• The Australasian Invasive Animal CRC, based in the ACT. SARDI, through its Aquatic Sciences program, will contribute to the project with research into carp ecology.

• The CRC for Beef Genetic Technologies, based in NSW, aims to increase the economic growth of the Australian beef industry by using emerging genetic technologies to improve beef quality and reduce production costs.

• CRC for National Plant Biosecurity, based in the ACT, aims to counteract the impact of emerging plant pests and diseases through the application of new technology and by integrating approaches across agencies and jurisdictions.

• e-Water CRC, based in the ACT, will develop products to deliver water of a higher quality, more efficiently and at vastly reduced costs. .

SARDI has involvement in the following established CRCs, participating in a total of fourteen.

• Australian Poultry CRC

• CRC for Viticulture

• Aquafin CRC

• CRC for Value-Added Wheat

• CRC for Plant-Based Management of Dryland Salinity

• CRC for Cattle and Beef Quality

• CRC for Environmental Biotechnology

• CRC for Irrigation Futures

• Molecular Plant Breeding CRC

Enhanced performance and efficiencies in research programs are achieved through collaborations and synergies. In addition to involvement in 14 Cooperative Research Centres and involvement in the Marine Innovation SA initiative, SARDI supports the leading-edge national and global projects listed here:

Adelaide Coastal Water Study, Seagrass Rehabilitation and Reef Health. These three projects take a ‘whole of government’ approach across SA State entities to enhance understanding of the impacts of urban settlement on marine environments and to better manage and rehabilitate SA’s coastal environments. SARDI’s role is to provide the scientific expertise to deliver a suite of interlinked projects, including ground-breaking methods to rehabilitate seagrass meadows.

Crown Rot Strategic Initiative, funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). This is aimed at developing innovative solutions for management of Fusarium crown rot in Australia. Major collaborators are CSIRO Plant Industry and the Departments of Primary Industries in NSW and Victoria.

Harvest Plus, an international Global Challenge Program focused on developing bio-fortification of staple food crops for developing countries. SARDI’s role is the genetic evaluation of iron and zinc content in wheat seed.

Integrated Biosystems (IBS). This initiative was set up in May 2005 and focuses on the efficient recycling and reuse of both waste nutrients and waste water to prevent organic pollution and enhance production, income and industry sustainability. The project will establish a model for a commercial scale, integrated waste-water treatment system that uses piggery waste. Scientists cover a wide range of disciplines, including engineers, aquaculture and livestock specialists, microbiologists, agronomists and horticulturists. This initiative is led by SARDI in alliance with the University of South Australia. Collaborators include Murdoch University, Flinders University and The University of Adelaide.

Murray Fishway Assessment Project. Staff from SARDI’s Inland Waters program are major contributors to this Murray-Darling Basin Commission initiated effort to restore fish migration to over 2000 km of the Murray River, from the sea to the Hume Dam.

The program comprises a team of scientists and engineers drawn from all states of the Murray-Darling Basin (NSW, Victoria, SA and Queensland) who have: determined fishway design criteria; constructed new fishways; and, are assessing the performance and long term benefits of fishway construction. The multi-state approach represents one of the largest collaborative freshwater research projects ever undertaken in Australia. Some exciting developments include:

• confirming the value of new fishways in boosting fish stocks – number, diversity and size range;

• gaining new ecological insights – many small-bodied fish (gudgeons, hardyhead and rainbowfish) migrate upstream in large numbers – something previously unrecorded in large lowland rivers. This discovery has immediate implications for future fishway designs;

• developing cutting-edge automated trapping systems to remove invasive carp from all fishways.

Major collaborations

37 National Pulse Improvement Program, funded by the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC). Major collaborators with SARDI include the Departments of Primary Industries in Victoria, NSW and Queensland, The University of Adelaide and the WA Department of Agriculture.

COMMERCIALISING SCIENCE – attracting investment to create value

Spray fan revolution spreads

Effective vineyard spraying has become increasingly critical as quality standards tighten. Correct application is essential for high quality grapes and reliable crop yields, the keys to profitability in the viticulture industry.

That’s why a grateful industry has welcomed the arrival of a revolutionary fan-forced spraying system, developed by SARDI senior research scientist Geoff Furness, which combines multi-fan sprayers with distance based calibration.

“The combination has been a major winner for the industry,” says Geoff. “If you are going to get control of pests and disease, and get hormones to work in spray application, you’ve got to get the dose correct. You’ve got to put the right amount of chemical on and distribute it evenly.”

Which is exactly what his new system does, improving spray coverage, dose efficiency and the work rate as well as reducing spraying costs, off-target deposition and spray drift.

SARDI invested funds in the production of the spray package, Bolly Products coordinated its manufacture and Croplands is the sole licensed distributor of the product now known as the Quantum Mist Spraying System.

A world first resulting from seven years of research, the system has already achieved some 30% market share in the Australian viticulture industry and established significant export markets, notably in the USA and New Zealand. It is now recognised as the most advanced air-assisted spraying system in the world.

One of Australia’s major wine companies, Orlando Wyndham, is using the sprayer on all of its 1800 hectares of vineyards across Australia, and the company’s Group Vineyards Manager, John Jones, reports that it has greatly improved spray coverage, resulting in much better control of disease.

As Geoff Furness points out: “It’s been a big benefit to the wine industry and it’s already extending to tree crops.”

Now his spray technology group is turning its R&D skills to improving the productions of fruit trees, vegetables, field crops and even dryland cereals.

“And there’s big potential in getting into general agriculture as well as horticulture,” he says. “There’s huge room for improvement in the spraying of crops like cotton.”

Ten years ago plant pathologists Kathy Ophel-Keller and Alan McKay set out to advance DNA probe technology to measure soil microbes causing concern to Southern Australian croppers.

Not only have farmers in Australia and overseas saved millions of dollars from development of a root disease testing service that followed, the team are now applying their expertise to benefi t fi elds as diverse as:• Monitoring the environmental impact of

aquaculture through changes in the fauna of sea beds

• Advancing research into poultry health

• Testing for the presence of the seed of branched broomrape – a dangerous parasitic weed.

A combination of cutting-edge science, dedicated application and painstaking research is paying off as the DNA probe technology developed by SARDI’s Field Crops Pathology Unit is put to work in an increasingly diverse range of industries.

Drs Kathy Ophel-Keller and Alan McKay are supported by team members Andrew Taylor, Aidan Thomson, Herdina, Russell Burns, Ina Dumitrescu.

The DNA-based root disease test has expanded and detects eight different soil organisms that reduce crop yields from soil samples – the only test of its type in the world. The tests are marketed Australia-wide and internationally by Bayer CropScience. The pathology unit has been instrumental in using consultant agronomists to deliver the service to growers and in driving a nationally accredited course to maximise the benefi ts to producers from using it.

The expansion of the expertise into other fi elds has earned the SARDI Field Crops Pathology Unit international recognition as a centre of excellence for cutting-edge DNA probe technology.

Understanding the genetic control of traits used in plant breeding programs is vital research which can reveal if genes controlling traits are linked and if genes can or cannot be combined.

Molecular marker capabilities yield results for plant breeders

Kerrie Willsmore and Paul Bogacki.

There is an ongoing demand from plant breeders for genetic information on traits of interest in new and existing germplasm, as well as the identification of genes tagged with molecular markers.

In conjunction with phenotyping experts around the country, SARDI’s molecular genetics team – Kevin Williams, Judy Cheong, Kerrie Willsmore and Steven Olson – is a key group providing this critical information for cereal crops.

Breeders can use the molecular markers developed at SARDI to quickly select for plants with desirable genes in the laboratory rather than in the field, greatly speeding up the development of new varieties.

In wheat, genes and associated molecular markers have been identified for pre-harvest sprouting, flour quality, cereal cyst nematode, septoria leaf blotches, and yellow leaf spot.

The focus in barley has been field resistance to leaf diseases such as net and spot form of net blotch, and scald. Several genes have been mapped, with comparative analysis used to show that some are common to more than one variety, and that seedling and adult plant resistance genes can be co-located.

Dr Hugh Wallwork, leader mycology, and, Dr Kevin Williams, leader biotechnology, and their teams have identified chromosome locations for adult plant resistance to scald in barley.

Previous work has focused on seedling resistance genes. Resistance loci have been found on chromosomes 3, 5, 6 and 7 from four different varieties, including the barley variety Chebec which has durable partial resistance to scald.

Many of the genes identified by the group are being used in molecular marker-assisted breeding of wheat and barley throughout Australia.

Aquatic scientist Rick McGarvey has developed a new model to cleanly separate the sizes of fish in each year class, making more

confident recommendations on fishery management.

Slicing fish differently at SARDI Aquatic Sciences

SARDI IMPACTS Fostering Creativity

Scientists Rick McGarvey and John Feenstra have developed a new way to track the lengths of fish in a population to make fishery models more accurate.

The method divides each age group of fish into length intervals called ‘slices’ to achieve better estimates from fishery models by describing the numbers of fish of different length, measured from head to tail, in each age class.

“This approach provides an important change in the fishery models upon which we make critical management decisions, such as whether to close a stock to fishing seasonally or to raise the legal minimum length,” says Dr McGarvey.

“The models, which estimate the numbers of fish in the population by age and the year they were born, are used to estimate statistics including stock biomass, the number of fish reaching harvestable size each year, and the percentage of the population that fishers are catching.

“Under this new model formulation, we describe by a bell curve the varying lengths of fish of a given age – faster growing fish at the upper end of the bell curve, slower growing fish at the lower end.”

Each new length group (or slice) of fish in the model is created as those of a given age that grow into legal size in each model time step. In this way, the model distinguishes the fish of length large enough to be harvested from those that are too small and must be thrown back.

“The beauty of this model is that it allows us to cleanly separate the sizes of fish in each year class enabling us to confidently recommend the minimum legal length of fish to preserve the fishery.”

The new SARDI Aquatic Sciences model has been applied to the three principal marine fish stocks, King George whiting, snapper and garfish.

‘Slicing’ fish at SARDI Aquatic Sciences has taken fishery management to a higher level.

Much of Bob’s work is focused on exploring the nutritional value of various types and varieties of grain for meat and egg production. This world-leading research has led to identification of a variety of physical and chemical properties with the potential to limit or enhance feed digestibility and poultry productivity.

The SARDI nutrition team was recently contracted by the US Soybean Association to compare the feed value of soybean products from different world sources.

It works closely with plant breeders to check suitability of new grains or varieties for poultry feed and is part of the Australian Premium Grains for Livestock program to identify the best grains for different animals.

To this end, Bob has played a major role in developing near infra red technology to measure the metabolisable energy of cereals, a major factor in the feed value of grains for poultry.

But his work goes far beyond grains and poultry nutrition to human nutrition and medicine.

He is exploring the scope for enrichment of eggs with iron and has worked with the CRC for Tissue Growth and Repair, which used chickens in its research.

Further research with the Child Nutrition Research Centre at the Adelaide Women’s and Children’s Hospital is exploring the possibility of enhancing the level of arachidonic acid levels in eggs. This acid is important in the brain development of young children and can be lacking in formula-fed babies.

In conjunction with medical researchers at the Adelaide Women’s and Children’s Hospital, he has adapted human breath analysis techniques to poultry to develop non-invasive tests for gut function; replacing post-mortem examination of gut content with analysis of breath from the birds.

The nutrition research team is currently working closely with the SA chicken meat industry on an expansion program that will see SA become a major national supplier of chicken meat. This will significantly increase the demand for trained, skilled people to develop and run the expanded industry.

SARDI IMPACTS Fostering Creativity

As a Principal Scientist, Dr Forbes Brien has a deceptively simple goal: have the industry adopt breeding tools that will improve the productivity of Australia’s sheep flock most quickly.

To achieve this his research group combines a highly practical, industry-focused approach with stringent research that is often at the cutting edge of technological developments in genetics and reproduction.

The Livestock Breeding and Genetics team is recognised throughout Australia and internationally for its work in the areas of reproductive technologies and flock improvement.

One of the recent research successes achieved by the Livestock Breeding and Genetics team has been the development of improved freezing and thawing techniques for sheep and cattle embryos that will enhance national and international movement of seed stock.

It is currently exploring how to maximise the effectiveness of embryo transfer by harvesting large numbers of eggs from juvenile animals in association with the use of molecular biology to identify animals carrying superior attributes.

Being able to identify animals that will perform better – grow more meat faster or produce heavier fleeces of better-quality wool – particularly while they are still lambs will enable breeders to concentrate their resources on those superior animals.

All these projects are aimed at maximising progress in the on-going search for more efficient production of better-quality wool and meat, with the results expected to have national benefits.

Dr Brien also leads SARDI’s selection demonstration trial, established in 1997 to identify the best selection methods for on-farm flock improvement and ensure the sheep industry uses the best possible knowledge and scientific base for its decision-making.

This innovative trial, in which the latest genetic and selection theory and refinements are applied in a practical paddock setting, aims to compare the rate of genetic gain from the different selection methods used in the industry.

IMPROVED CONNECTIONS BETWEEN SCIENCE AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Post-doctoral and PhD students, fellows and scholarship placements play a vital role in injecting fresh ideas and approaches. Through retaining existing expertise and attracting new and creative talent, knowledge is transformed into tangible outcomes that benefit the whole community.

Search for genes to fight barley disease Barley net form and spot form of net blotches, caused by two forms of the fungus Pyrenophora teres, are two major diseases affecting barley crops in Australia, with yield losses of up to 40% reported in recent years.

At present, the deployment of resistance genes in new cultivars provides good net blotch control. However, long-term, alternative strategies may need to be developed, such as genetical manipulation of the plant so that it uses its own defence armoury to combat pathogen attack.

SARDI PhD student Paul Bogacki has identified 28 genes associated with barley net blotch resistance. For the first time in the barley and P. teres interaction, a number of genes have been identified that could serve as targets for genetic manipulation to produce plants resistant not only to barley net blotch pathogens, but also to a wider range of fungal pathogens with similar modes of attack.

Functional analysis of these genes is expected to provide breeders with information on genes critical to the defence response, which may provide the basis for breeding barley with more durable resistance to net blotch pathogens, either by traditional or transgenic means.

Female pigs in modern commercial herds mature around three weeks later than their counterparts of 20 years ago. This apparently mundane piece of information has major implications for the pig industry and has generated international interest in the work of SARDI-supported PhD student, William van Wettere, who is exploring the effect of feeding regimes and environment on a range of productivity-linked factors.

William van Wettere has a winning way with pigs

Will has recently presented research papers at the Australasian Pig Science Association Conference in NZ and the International Conference on Pig Reproduction, a major pig-industry event in Holland.

And QAF Meat Industries, one of Australia’s largest pig producers has adjusted their herd management in response to his finding that modern female pigs are bigger, leaner and later maturing than those of two or three decades ago.

He is scheduled to complete his doctoral study on the impact of management and feeding on the reproductive development and performance of female pigs early next year.

Will, who graduated in his home country of Scotland, came to pig research via SARDI’s Flaxley dairy research centre, where Paul Hughes (Pig and Poultry Institute), now one of his PhD supervisors, suggested he pursue his interest in animal reproduction and nutrition in the context of the pork industry.

He subsequently embarked on a Masters course at the University of Adelaide’s Roseworthy Campus that was soon upgraded to the doctorate he is in the process of completing.

Several fundamental biological aspects of Will’s work on the influence of nutrition and growth rate on ovarian development and oocyte (egg) production are being undertaken in conjunction with University of Adelaide researchers working at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Messy transition worth the trouble

Post-doctoral scientist Valeria Torok has used her expertise from diverse fields to address problems in the poultry industry.

Over the past two years, SARDI post-doctoral scientist Valeria Torok has made the sometimes messy and unsettling transition from a plant pathologist specialising in plant viruses to a specialist in the micro-organisms present in the gut of poultry.

This transition has required her to come to terms with frequent handling of chicken gut and overcome an allergy to poultry sheds.

It has also seen her develop into a highly regarded and valued poultry researcher with a growing national standing within the Australian Poultry CRC of which SARDI is a partner.

Dr Torok is lead scientist on a CRC project exploring the interaction between diet and gut micro-organisms of poultry and how that interaction impacts on the health and productivity of the birds.

Her work in the initial stages of the project has involved application of the SARDI-developed DNA probe technology to identify different bacteria in the gut contents of poultry and development of statistical methods to compare the bacterial profiles of high and low-performing poultry.

The direct result of that aspect of her work is a rapid, highly accurate but relatively inexpensive means of identifying the micro-organisms in the gut of poultry that can be used in making decisions about the health and management of commercial poultry flocks.

This valuable tool is now being applied to the on-going search for new or improved feedstuffs or natural plant additives or supplements with the potential to further reduce industry use of antibiotic growth promotants.

The Australian Poultry CRC aims to encourage sustainable poultry production without reliance on antibiotics through use of these alternative diet supplements and feeding strategies

Building expertise – and knowledge

Alireza Marefat is living proof that SARDI’s partnership in the University of Adelaide’s doctoral studies program is paying dividends in terms of new knowledge and expertise development.

Alireza’s work on pistachio dieback has revealed that the devastating disease, which is thought to be unique to Australia, is caused by two previously unknown bacteria, which he has identified and described, adding to the global knowledge in this area.

As part of this work he adapted cutting-edge DNA technology to develop a DNA-based detection test for these new organisms.

This specific test can be applied to ensure that the pistachio industry in future uses planting material free of these bacteria and the technology is also now available as a valuable analytical tool with research and field applications.

The insights provided by Alireza’s project have opened the way for expansion of a potentially highly profitable pistachio industry in the Riverland and other southern Australian regions with a Mediterranean climate.

The opportunity provided by SARDI for Alireza to undertake this research has improved world knowledge about Xanthomonas bacteria and their significance in the pistachio industry; and has produced a new DNA diagnostic tool for identification of these bacteria.

Alireza Marefat is solving the problem of pistachio dieback.

Spotlight on Little Penguins

Annelise has developed new methods to focus on the feeding ecology of little penguins.

High-tech research on the feeding ecology of Little Penguins by promising young SARDI scientist, Annelise Wiebkin, is helping unravel the marine food web in the Great Australian Bight and will contribute to ecologically sustainable fisheries management.

Annelise’s PhD thesis dissertation is ‘Assessing the potential effects of SA’s valuable pilchard fishery on Little Penguin populations’ and includes a world-first – the use of satellite trackers to determine where Little Penguins forage. Dive recorders are also being used.

Her work reflects the shift in focus from individual species to entire ecosystems in the management of fisheries, and is part of a larger SARDI project that is looking at the interaction of several key predators of pilchards including New Zealand fur seals and shearwaters.

“I am trying to establish if certain parameters related to the penguins are likely to be useful as performance indicators of the pilchard fishery. The study will also be a baseline study for future monitoring as the fishery expands.”

“Short term parameters likely to reflect changes in the marine ecosystem may include penguin adult weight, chick growth, meal sizes and diet types, and from the satellite tracking results, foraging trip lengths and distances travelled. Long term parameters may be colony population size and fledgling success,” she explains.

“The data from the study will be used to contribute to a food web model of the eastern Great Australian Bight pilchard fishery.”

SARDI is a leader in the move to ecosystem-based fishery research and the effects of fisheries on food webs. There is national and international interest in this new approach and the way in which the pilchard fishery will be managed in an ecologically sustainable way.

Gaining a greater understanding of how key species in the ecosystem interact also enables these species to be used as ‘indicators’ of the health of the ecosystem, allowing SARDI scientists to monitor any changes that may occur as a result of impacts on the ecosystem.

Annelise’s work regularly takes her island hopping across the State from Pearson to Reevesby and Troubridge islands studying Little Penguins at colonies within the main fishing zone and also at colonies distant from any pilchard fishing.

As the 2005 SARDI Women’s Suffrage Centenary Science Bursary award winner, Annelise, was also able to present many of her findings to the International Penguins Conference in New Zealand and the Australian Fish Biology Conference in Darwin held in 2004.
