PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

Improving drought tolerance in wheat by selectively inhibiting negative regulators of drought stress signalling

This project applies insights from the SAL1-PAP signalling work to identify the crops lacking the negative regulators and evaluate the impact of such manipulation on their drought tolerance and yield performance under greenhouse and field conditions. This project provides an excellent opportunity to understand the genetics, genomics and physiology of cereal crops.

 

This project is open to Honours and PhD students
