hemp research - Playford Trust

Alison Gill – Plant scientist for Earth and beyond

2020 Playford Trust PhD Scholarship
Alison received her scholarship for her work in investigating industrial hemp drought tolerance, water use efficiency and plant physiology. She revealed that hemp can survive when water is scarce by regulating photosynthetic behaviour, offering valuable insights for Australian producers.
