Funded Activity Summary
Clocks in crops: exploring the role of circadian rhythms in crop adaptation. The project aims to analyse how the circadian clock provides adaptive advantages in legumes and cereals, two major crop groups of global importance. The project expects to produce new fundamental knowledge about how the clock in these crops coordinates their development, physiology, and metabolism in response to environmental cues. The anticipated outcome is a better understanding of key similarities and differences in clock functions in different species. Another is knowledge of how the ancient clock gene variants still in use today may limit the current or future performance of those crops. This will provide significant benefits, such as to improve productivity of crop plants in diverse and changing environments.Funded Activity Details
