The SUBTOL project aims to enhance agricultural resilience to flooding by studying genetic mechanisms in green seaweeds, specifically Ulva. By understanding how these organisms adapt to submergence, the project seeks to improve flood tolerance in land crops through synthetic biology.
Global food security is threatened by climate change, particularly increased incidences of flooding and drought.
Flooding has catastrophic impact on agricultural productivity, as most agricultural crops are sensitive to waterlogging and submergence.
Flooding is a complex, multi-factorial stress involving lack of oxygen, followed by oxidative stress as the flood subsides and sometimes accompanied by changes in salinity.
The molecular strategies land plants use to respond to submergence vary widel…
