Julie has a background in plant nutrition and physiology. She is especially interested in applying physiology to agricultural genetics and pre-breeding research, and in working towards genetic solutions to constraints for agricultural production.
My current position is funded by South Australian State Growth Funds, through a contract agreement with the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI). I work closely with SARDI and University colleagues at the Waite Campus across a range of projects. I am primarily engaged in research around pulse protein, including physiology, genetics and pre-breeding for higher grain protein, and post-farm gate, where we are developing processing technologies for novel food ingredients derived from pulses. Pulses are an important component of the cropping rotation in Australia because of their ability to fix nitrogen and as a disease break to cereals. Increasingly, pulses themselves are a high-value commodity for grain producers, including in domestic markets. It will be important to continue to grow the pulse production industry as the health and environmental benefits of plant-based proteins for human consumption are realised.
