Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative (AHRI)

PhD projects

A significant number of students have completed their PhD studies through AHRI in conjunction with the School of Plant Biology (UWA).  Listed below are each of the students, the year their PhD project was completed and a summary of their work.
