This project aims to enhance drought resistance in crops by exploring the role of Brassinosteroid hormones in root growth. By understanding the cellular mechanisms involved, the research seeks to develop new strategies for improving crop yield in water-limited conditions.
Drought is the first cause of agricultural losses globally, and represents a major threat to food security.
Currently, plant biotechnology stands as the most promising strategy to produce crops capable of producing high yields in fed rain conditions.
From the study of whole-plants, the main underlying mechanism for responses to drought stress has been uncovered, and multiple drought resistance genes have been engineered into crops.
So far, plants with enhanced drought resistance displayed reduc…
