Natural variation in Drought tolerance
Drought is one of the major factors limiting plant performance. In this project we use natural variation to identfy factors important for drought tolerance.
A main goal in agricultural research is the resilience of crop productivity under drought stress. So, the idea is to minimize the impact of water shortage on plant performance.
