This project investigates the differences between sperm cells in Arabidopsis thaliana to understand plant reproduction better. By analyzing gene expression in individual sperm cells, the goal is to enhance crop breeding for heat resistance and improved yields, addressing food supply challenges due to climate change.
Human societies are sustained by flowering plants in different ways but especially as a key food supplier.
However, it is known that increasing global temperatures strongly affect plant reproduction and the growing human population will require more food in short-middle term.
Thus, to create new crop varieties more resistant to heat stress and with enhanced yield, a deeper understanding of the mechanism of plant sexual reproduction will be crucial for increasing the efficiency of plant breeding…
