Rice requires flooding for healthy growth, and drought reduces yield by 22 million tons. Plants’ inherent sessile nature requires that they must respond to their environment as opposed to leaving it; thus, a crops’ ability to effectively withstand unpredictable environmental conditions directly impacts our food stores. SR1, a transcription factor, regulates expression of over 3,000 genes in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, during stress response. Molecular and genetic techniques, coupled with bioinformatics will reveal the action of this chief regulator in the world’s second leading staple grain.born digitalStudent workspostersengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
