Her early research was on plant responses to cold and day length as these affected germination and flowering. She taught at universities in the U.S.A. and Hong Kong before joining the Botany Department at Monash University in 1980. While teaching plant physiology and physiological plant anatomy she became interested in the traditional significance and uses of indigenous Australian plants. It was in this field that she became widely acknowledges as expert. Gott wrote many papers on the use of indigenous plants in south-east Australia. She also compiled exhaustive data bases on Aboriginal food and structural plants, including their use of fire to manage the environment. With support from groups within the University she planted her first Aboriginal plant garden on the Monash campus in 1985: this is now the Aboriginal Educational Garden. In recognition of the esteem in which she was held by the Indigenous community she was referred to as "Auntie".19431943Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), University of Melbourne19801987Career event - Botanist,, Department of Botany, Monash University as a Botanist19871987Life event - Retired19871987Career position - Senior Lecturer in Botany, Monash University19921995Career position - Honorary Research Associate, Department of Botany and zoology, Monash University1995Career position - Research Fellow, Department of Botany and Zoology, Monash University20172017Award - Member of the Order of Australia (AM) - for significant service to the biological sciences as an ethnobotanist specialising in the use of native plants by indigenous people
