Over the past 50 years the present Division of Plant Industry has evolved from relatively modest beginnings as the Division of Economic Botany with a brief to undertake basic research in plant sciences, to a Division whose work now touches on many aspects of crop and pasture plants, as well as the natural vegetation of Australia.
