Rice stress tolerance
A cellular and genetic approach to molecular mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance and grain yield.
The study aimed to enhance collaboration between the Joint Laboratory of Plant Cell Biology and Rice Genetics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), focusing on advancements in protein trafficking research and organelle biogenesis. The goal was to improve stress tolerance and grain yield in rice, supporting agricultural biotechnology in China. Since its establishment in 2012, the Joint Laboratory has conducted research leveraging the strengths of both institutions and contributed to the training of young scientists. The project was supported by the renewal of the Croucher-CAS funding scheme and competitive research grants, aiming to translate scientific findings into advancements in rice cultivation, ultimately benefiting agricultural practises in China.
