The former CEO of ACPFG, Prof. Peter Langridge, and Professor Emeritus Geoff Fincher, have made kind arrangements for the two IPSR members to discuss research work and future collaborations with the ACPFG staff.<br \/>\nACPFG is an Australian company that manages a large number of research programs, mainly in wheat and barley crops. Excitingly, more than twenty members joined in the discussions, and most of them, including the present CEO, Dr. David Mitchell, have shown interest in the future research collaborations with IPSR at Okayama University. Because some of the members share their office as faculty members of the University of Adelaide, short-term exchange programs for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows were also considered. This international link might help to develop new cereals tolerant to environmental stresses, such as salinity and heat, which are common stress factors in Australian agriculture.<br \/>\nInterestingly, the Waite campus of UA (originally the Waite Agricultural Research Institute), where the ACPFG headquarters are located, was already established in 1924. It was founded as world class research facility with bequest of 300 acres of land and Urrbrae House from the Australian pastoralist and philanthropist Peter Waite, similar to Cornell University Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research (est. 1924 by contribution of William B. Thompson) and our institute, IPSR (est. 1914 by Magosaburo Ohara).<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/information\/20150324.html\/attachment\/20150324%ef%bc%8d1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6846\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6846\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/HP2012\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/eddf89d0d3916e4897d73a61e57486b4.jpg\" alt=\"20150324\uff0d1\" width=\"1233\" height=\"816\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe building of the \u201cPlant Accelerator\u201d offering state-of-the-art plant phenotyping tools and services<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/information\/20150324.html\/attachment\/20150324%ef%bc%8d2\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6847\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6847\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/HP2012\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/de91f95d0e4d918d9af07cdc16ae1fdb.jpg\" alt=\"20150324\uff0d2\" width=\"1233\" height=\"816\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nInside of the \u201cPlant Accelerator\u201d, Prof. Kazuhiro Sato (IPSR) and Dr. Nick Collins (ACPFG)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/information\/20150324.html\/attachment\/20150324%ef%bc%8d3\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6848\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6848\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rib.okayama-u.ac.jp\/HP2012\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/76aabc859c403f7cbf012d34b0abd3be.jpg\" alt=\"20150324\uff0d3\" width=\"1243\" height=\"932\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSalt lakes studded in the middle of Australia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IPSR aims to develop closer ties with the world-leading institutes in plant research.
