Ahri Snapshots

Researchers Gulshan Mahajan, Amar Matloob, Barbara George-Jaeggli, Michael Walsh and Bhagirath 'Sunny' Chauhan have studied this same phenomenon in an emerging weed in the northern grains region – African turnipweed. In this podcast we chat with Sunny Chauhan to learn more. Working with two biotypes of African turnipweed – one from the higher rainfall environment of Dalby, Queensland and one from the medium rainfall environment of St George, Queensland – the researchers wanted to know if there were differences in the way that these two populations respond to environmental stress. They also wanted to gather intelligence about the germination biology of this weed, which is emerging as a potential threat to cropping in the northern region.
