Funded Activity Summary

Worth its salt: advancing knowledge of salinity tolerance with mangroves as a model system. This project aims to understand how salinity tolerance is achieved in mangroves, which are highly salt tolerant plants. Using a combination of physiological and gene expression technologies the project will measure the response of mangroves to elevated salinity and atmospheric carbon dioxide, contributing to the development of salt tolerant next generation crops.
