This project investigates the role of plant metallothioneins in enhancing drought resistance and zinc accumulation in sorghum, a vital crop for many people. By understanding these molecular processes, the research aims to improve crop yields and address micronutrient deficiencies through biofortification strategies.
Food security is a socioeconomical concept that involves access to food that meets people's dietary needs and preferences.
Current and future food security is threatened by more frequent and more widespread drought events, leading to reduction in crop yields. A related issue of global importance is micronutrient deficiency.
Zinc, a micronutrient involved in all major physiological processes, has outstanding potential to improve crop yields, as well as animal and human health.
