About the Project

This project will apply high-throughput sequencing techniques to investigate the processes underlying reproductive development in crop plants. In particular it will focus on those stages of flower development that are sensitive to disruption by extremes of temperature. Such an understanding will underpin novel approaches to improving the performance and yield from crops under conditions of climate change.
