Rising global temperatures are predicted to have a major impact on crop productivity and global Food Security. One solution to this problem is to generate crops that show increased thermotolerance. To address this need, the student will investigate the impact of increased night-time temperature on plant development and physiology and how this affects yield. Utilising plant species including Arabidopsis and rice, a range of molecular and physiology tools will be used to investigate the impact of changes in night-time temperature. Research has demonstrated that photoreceptors (light-perceiving receptors) have a major role to play in plant temperature signaling and the project will utilise a range of genetic resources to test their role in night-time temperature responses. The goal is to generate new plant varieties with improved performance. The project will provide in depth training in molecular and physiology techniques and is an exciting opportunity to advance our knowledge of crop-environmental interactions and generate new solutions.

预计全球气温上升将对作物产量和全球粮食安全产生重大影响。解决这个问题的一个办法是种植耐热性更高的作物。为了满足这一需求，学生将研究夜间温度升高对植物发育和生理的影响，以及这如何影响产量。利用拟南芥和水稻等植物物种，将使用一系列分子和生理学工具来研究夜间温度变化的影响。研究表明，光感受器（光感知受体）在植物温度信号传导中发挥着重要作用，该项目将利用一系列遗传资源来测试它们在夜间温度反应中的作用。目标是培育性能更好的新植物品种。该项目将提供分子和生理学技术的深度培训，是一个令人兴奋的机会，可以提高我们对作物与环境相互作用的认识，并产生新的解决方案。
