This project aims to enhance rice crop yields by identifying genetic factors that influence flowering in response to day length. By understanding how rice plants perceive and respond to photoperiod, the research seeks to develop varieties that can adapt to diverse growing conditions.
Discriminating differences in day length is critical for many organisms to synchronize reproduction with the most favourable season of the year.
Plants have evolved sophisticated time-keeping mechanisms that largely work in leaves, to measure the duration of the day.
Upon perception of favourable day lengths, a leaf-borne signal moves to the shoot apical meristem to induce flower formation.
Rice is a crop whose yield heavily depends on flowering at the right time, and genetic variation within le…
