This project focuses on understanding the genetic basis of vascular tissue development in plants, particularly in rice and wheat. By isolating specific cell types and analyzing their gene expression, the research aims to enhance crop yields and biomass production for biofuel applications.
Plant vascular meristematic cells are present in the cambium and procambium and divide in a highly ordered manner resulting in cells that differentiate into xylem tissue (responsible for water transport), and phloem tissue (which transport nutrients).
Lodging due to breakage of plant stems negatively impacts crop yields, and remains a problem in species such as rice and wheat.
Vascular tissue contains cells with woody secondary cell walls that provide much of the plants mechanical strength so mo…
