Abstract
-
Photosynthesis adapts to environmental conditions over time.¹
-
Varying environmental conditions lead to stress accumulation on the plant.²
-
A genetic library has been assembled for forward genetic screening of Arabidopsis thaliana.³
-
Arabidopsis Thaliana is a model plant used as a model organism in growth experiments.
-
This research project aims to identify and analyze candidate genes that impact the efficiency of photosynthesis.
-
These genes can be transplanted into commercial crops to increase efficiency of photosynthesis and crop yields.
