Gabby Jarvis: Hi, I’m Gabby Jarvis. I’m in Year 11 at Daramalan College and my project is “Wheat Geno and Quantitative Traits for Favourable Respiration Traits under Heat Stress”.
[Image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera and then the camera zooms in on Gabby’s face]
The main thing I was trying to discover with my project was a strain of wheat or a genotype which could withstand heat stress at a sufficient rate.
[Image changes to show a rear view of Gabby working on a laptop and then the image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera]
So, my project looked at 160 rules of the Excalibur and Kukri wheat population to establish significant QTLs which corresponded to favourable respiration traits when placed under heat stress.

I looked at this research because climate change is becoming more and more prevalent and there is like an increase in global temperature, causing more frequent, intense like heat and other extreme weather conditions which is putting a lot of stress on crop supply.

And also as the human population is increasing there is more demand on wheat.
[Image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera]
So, I found seven significant QTLs, which are sections of the geno which correspond to the favourable genotype which means that they have lower respiration rates and can withstand higher heat temperatures.
[Image changes to show Gabby’s face as she moves through a park and then the image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera]
This research could impact the community in a positive way because it can provide a strain of wheat which can withstand the growing temperatures and provide a better food supply for people that need it because wheat is such a prevalent crop in today’s society.

I’m really excited that ANU has already taken my research on board to put in further studies to find better strains of wheat which can successfully withstand high temperatures.
[Image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera]
I love science and engineering because there is always something new to discover and always something to learn and there is always answers for every question you could possibly come up with.
[Image changes to show a rear view of Gabby walking away from the camera through a park]
I don’t know where my future is going to take me, but I know that my passion for science and engineering will take me places and I’m excited for the ride.
[Image changes to show Gabby in the distance walking her dogs]
Outside of school I enjoy playing basketball and like bushwalking and just exploring nature. I also love playing with my dogs and spending time with my friends and family.
[Image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera and then the image changes to show the two dogs and then the camera zooms out to show Gabby walking the dogs]
I have two dogs. One is a miniature Labradoodle called Jaffa and the other is a Groodle called Rufus.
[Image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera]
He is crazy.
[Image changes to show Gabby sitting on a couch reading and then the camera zooms in on the book and then her face and then the image changes to show Gabby talking to the camera]
Being a finalist is a massive privilege and I’m really excited and it means that I can share my work with a wider community and it could have a major impact on the world.
