Project Number: 5335-21000-017-01
Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Jul 12, 2001
End Date: Jun 30, 2006

Objective:
Determine the molecular basis of how plants perceive and respond to their environment to improve the quality and enhance production efficiency of agriculturally important crops.

Approach:
Genes that are under phytochrome D and E control will be identified by genomic tools. Genes controlling vegetative and reproductive development will be identified and characterized. The role of plant hormones in mediating developmental responses will be explored. Insertional mutagenesis and recombination systems will be exploited. Genes that function to mediate plant responses to the environment will be identified. Genomic systems of gene expression analysis will be investigated and used to further these efforts.
