About us

The Green Fuse group has its roots in deep and fertile compost accumulated over more than fifty years of plant physiology and genetics research at the University of Tasmania. 

We are working to understand the control of flowering time and related aspects of plant development.

We’re also interested in how humans have used plants for food and changed them in the process.

Our main focus is on legumes - fascinating, nutritious, and generally good-looking, although not always the easiest to work with.
