Creation of plants having optimal photosynthetic production system in the future global environment

Research Project Outline

The aim of the present study is to create plants that have optimal photosynthetic production system in the future global environment. We try to identify plant traits and related genes that improve future plant production, from natural variations and artificial mutations showing the highest adaptation abilities to the future environmental conditions. Furthermore, we develop a new procedure to select lines with optimal traits without using transgenic techniques.
