USA: Farming The Desert, Drought In Southern Utah
When the pioneers were first trecking out into the arid western states, it was commonly believed that the rain would follow the plow. Hard work would create green pastures. It hasn’t. This piece tackles the complex issues surrounding farming in dry country with courage, fair-mindnedness and kindness. It’s rare to hear a piece where the voices of farmers and ranchers are given the same amount of weight as the voices of academics and government officials.

CSIRO: Fighting Off The Yellow Dwarf: Leaf Rust
The world’s first trigenomic chromosome has been developed, using the disease resistance genes from three different grass species. The chromosome was pioneered by CSIRO researchers, in collaboration with the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and The University of Sydney. A paper published this month in the respected international journal Theoretical and Applied Genetics details how the team ‘recombined’ two wild blocks of genes from two different Thinopyrum grass species – a wild relative of wheat – bringing together resistance genes for leaf rust and Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV), two of the world’s most damaging wheat diseases. In this podcast research team leader Dr Philip Larkin explains how the trigenomic chromosome was created.

Out Of The Blue: Managing Depression
One in ten visits to a GP relates to mental illness. More prevalent in females (one in four) than in males (one in six), depression causes both physical and psychological symptoms and may occur with anxiety disorders. It is also the leading cause of suicide in Australia. Despite the availability of many safe and effective treatments, depression is often not recognised or treated adequately. Depression is also a complex issue and may be variable in presentation. In today's climate of rural economic stress, particular challenges in diagnosing and managing depression confront clinicians.By comparison, suicide rates are particularly high in rural farming communities as compared to metropolitan areas. For others, the presence of drug and alcohol use or anxiety may initially mask the presentation. Clinicians need to be astute in their assessments and have an ability to weigh the evidence when making a diagnosis. This program aims to broaden the health professional’s understanding of depression and to show how clinicians can help to achieve better health outcomes for their patients.
