Description
HEAT: High temperature Effect on Arabidopsis and Tomato seed quality.
Seeds are the starting material of agriculture. Climate changes, especially high temperatures, affect seed quality. In this proposal we aim at investigating the effect of high temperature on seed quality. We aim at studying if effects of high temperature can be transferred to the harvested seeds by means of seed treatments. We will identify genes that are important for the seed’s response to high temperature. These genes are potential candidates for improving seed quality in breeding programs and/or can be used as diagnostic tools to determine optimal harvest time.
