C4 Breed - Comparative genomics of C3 vs C3-C4 plants in Brassicaceae familly.

This project intends to sequence the genome and transcriptome of several Brassicaceae species, including C3 and C3-4 intermediates, and thereafter to pinpoint genetic differences between groups with different photosynthesis kinds. By cross-referencing genetic data with detailed phenotype evaluation, we aim to identify new genetic connections to the development of C3-4 intermediacy.
