Stress proofing crops: Multiple stress tolerance from the whole-plant level to the molecular level Climate change will increase ambient temperatures and is predicted to cause higher occurrence of floods and droughts. These weather events severely affect the productivity of crops. Our laboratory is actively engaged in understanding and improving stress response of plants. In or recent project we will investigate the mechanistic basis of tolerance in plants to multiple stresses that occur simultaneously (high temperature and drought) and sequentially (drought following flooding). We will identify and study the plant traits, genes and molecular processes that mediate tolerance to these stresses in the crop plant rice and the model plant Arabidopsis. This knowledge is essential to generating multi-stress-tolerant crops that can yield well in a changing climate.
