This project aims to develop rice varieties that can withstand drought and high salinity, which are critical challenges for global food security. By utilizing a novel protein modification mechanism called SUMOylation, researchers will engineer stress-resistant crops with improved yields under adverse conditions.
To feed 9 billion people by 2050 is an unprecedented challenge.
Rice is the food source for the majority of the world's population but also a model for cereals.
Drought and related high salinity during essential periods of plant growth affects nearly all crops including the major cereals such as rice causing drastic yield losses. A major goal of plant biology is to develop crop cultivars that are ""drought and salt resistant"", defined as those that have higher yields than standard cultivars und…
