The TOMATO EXODERMIS project investigates the genetic basis of root adaptations in tomato plants that enhance drought resistance. By utilizing advanced tools, the project aims to improve understanding of root development, which is crucial for increasing crop yields.
Understanding plant development and responses to the environment is key for improving crop yields and ensuring food andfuel for the future.
Many crop species have evolved adaptations that make them more tolerant against abiotic stresses, suchas drought, flooding and soil salinity.
One of these adaptations is the exodermis, a water- and air-proofed cell layer in theroot that protects the root from drying and drowning.
Although the importance of exodermis for crop yield has been shown,the developm…
