This project focuses on understanding the genetic basis of C4 photosynthesis to develop crops that are more productive and use water more efficiently. By studying rice and sorghum genomes, researchers aim to identify key genes and regulatory elements that enhance plant resilience to water stress.
Water-related stress is the number one limiting factor for plant productivity and human well-being.
One-third of the current world population faces water shortages and by 2025, two-thirds are expected to experience water stress conditions, i.e 1.8 billion people will be subjected to absolute water scarcity.The C4 photosynthetic pathway boosts plant productivity by ~50% but also increases water use efficiency. C4 photosynthesis is a remarkable trait that is thought to have evolved in response to…
