Sampling Australia

As with North America, Australia’s average precipitation and temperature were considered along with the population distribution of our target species: Themeda triandra, Cymbopogon refractus, and Heteropogon contortus. We were able to sample populations in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and the Northern Territory bringing home more than 300 tissue samples.

All collections abroad adhered to CBD Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing, as well as CITES
