About This Project
Rice feeds 50% of human population. Cell-cycle is crucial for rice seed formation. But it is little known which genes control this process. Fortunately our studies point to two promising rice genes. My project is to test their functions in living rice zygotes via stably transformed mutant lines with marked genes of interest. The expected result will help understand molecular mechanisms of rice post-zygotic growth and development, and facilitate crop breeding for better rice trait and yield.
