Reviewed manuscripts for many journals, including Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science USA, Current Biology, eLife, Nature Foods, Plant Cell, Plant Journal, Plant Physiology, Nature Plants, Trends in Plant Science, New Phytologist, Plant Cell and Environment, Journal of Experimental Botany., Plant Molecular Biology, Molecular Plant Microbe Interactions, FEBS Letters, Journal of Biological Chemistry, BMC Genomics, BMC Plant Biology, Physiologia Plantarum, Phytochemistry, Symbiosis, Australian Journal of Plant Physiology, Functional Plant Biology, Molecular and Cellular Proteomics, Plant Cell Reports, and Biotechnology.

Assessed grant applications to the NSF and USDA in the USA, the ARC in Australia, the NOW in The Netherlands, the DFG in Germany, the French National Research Agency (ANR), and ERA-NET Plant Genomics and EU Framework VII in Europe. I served on grant review panels for the USDA and NSF.

I organised and chaired the 2nd European Conference on the Molecular Genetics of Model Legumes in Golm, Germany, in 2001. I also organised and chaired the 11th International Conference on Legume Genetics and Genomics in Brisbane, Australia, in 2024. I co-organized the 5th International Congress on Legume Genetics and Genomics in Asilomar, CA, USA, in 2010, the 4th Australian Pulse Conference in Toowoomba, Australia, in 2023, and the 19th Australian Nitrogen Fixation Conference in 2024. I have served on scientific advisory committees of several international conferences, including the International Conference on Legume Genetics and Genomics, the European Nitrogen Fixation Conference, the International Nitrogen Fixation Congress, the International Symbiosis Society Congress, the Current Opinion Conference on Agriculture and Climate Change, TropAg, and the International Congress on Genetics.
