Rice and global climate change: candidate genes for preventing heat- and drought-induced yield losses due to spikelet sterility
Project
Project code: 81107148
Contract period: 01.11.2008
- 31.10.2010
Budget: 60,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
The major goal of this project is the alleviation of global food insecurity, poverty, and malnutrition in potentially highly food- and climate-insecure regions of the world. The purpose is the development of rice cultivars that are tolerant of heat, drought, and combined heat and drought stress through the introgression of validated tolerance genes into rice mega-varieties by marker-assisted breeding.
