Titel
Transgenic rice. An ideal experimental system for fundamental science and applications
Abstract
The genetic manipulation of cereals is a key objective of both fundamental and applied research. This reflects the importance of cereals as major food crops as well as the emergence of rice in particular as a relevant model in functional genomics. In this presentation we will discuss recent findings in our laboratory that exemplify how fundamental investigations using rice allowed us to develop outputs that can address major constraints in crop productivity.
