Congratulations to Lucia Montini on being awarded an APPF Travel Grant.

As part of an international collaboration involving researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Monash University, Lucia will visit the Adelaide node of the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility in January 2016.

The 2nd year PhD Student will work with the team of The Plant Accelerator® to investigate the performance of Sorghum bicolor under drought stress.
