Slide6: 

FOOD FUTURES To apply advanced genetics to create differentiated grain products that increase the value of Australia’s grain production by $400M for Wheat and by $150M for Canola by 2013 Advanced Genetics

1A Wheat: 

1A Wheat Environment Heat stress – QTLs, microarrays Low protein high functionality wheats Increase glutenin: gliadin ratio by reducing gliadin content (RNAi and gliadin nulls) Starch and Fibre Resistance starch SBE knockouts (RNAi) or nulls Low glycaemic index wheat reduce starch synthase (mutation or RNAi) -glucan Increase starch visiosity (increase glucan water dikinases) Processing and Substantiation Extrusion properties GI and RS instrument

1B3 LC PUFA in Oilseeds: 

1B 3 LC PUFA in Oilseeds Expression 3 – PUFA pathway genes (aerobic and non-aerobic PKS) in oilseeds and maximise EPA and DHA Regiospecificity and uptake Expand technologies for incorporation of 3’s into foods  Linolenic acid

Slide9: 

FOOD FUTURES To apply breed engineering to boost the product value of Australia’s animal-based food industries by $350M for Beef and by $550M for Seafood by 2013 Breed Engineering

Slide10: 

FOOD FUTURES To apply novel separation technologies to create a new Australian bioactive industry generating $250M in sales of bioactives to the global functional food market by 2013. Bioactive Separation

Slide11: 

FOOD FUTURES To apply non-thermal processing to create a new Australian industry generating $350M sales of ‘Preserved-Fresh’ foods for global convenience markets by 2013 High-pressure Processing

Slide12: 

FOOD FUTURES To apply Advanced Sensory Technologies to match and monitor products for consumer appeal, and improve the competitiveness of the wine industry generating $750M in sales of wines developed using this technology by 2013 Quality Biosensors
