Improving Drought Resistance in Crops and Arabidopsis (IDRICA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2021,

Drought is the first cause of agricultural losses globally, and represents a major threat to food security. Currently, plant biotechnology stands as the most promising strategy to produce crops capable of producing high yields in fed rain conditions. From the study of whole-plants, the main underlying mechanism for responses to drought stress has been uncovered, and multiple drought resistance ge ...
