This project investigates the role of the GPC gene in regulating leaf senescence and nutrient remobilization in wheat. By studying gene mutants and their effects on grain yield and mineral content, the research aims to enhance our understanding of crop nutritional value and improve agricultural practices.
Nutrient remobilization from senescing tissues to developing grains is a tightly regulated process that affects the nutritional value of crops.
We have recently shown the existence of a close connection between senescence and nutrient remobilization through the cloning of the wheat GPC (Grain Protein Content) gene. RNA interference (GPC-RNAi) plants showed delayed senescence and reduced grain mineral content by over 30%.
The GPC gene is a NAC transcription factor involved in the early regulation…
