This project investigates the genetic differences between annual and perennial flowering plants to enhance crop yield. By isolating key genes from hybrids of Brassicaceae species, it aims to introduce traits from perennials into annual crops, potentially improving their productivity and resilience.
Flowering plants exhibit a variety of different life cycles.
This variation contributes in nature to adaptation to diverse environments and in agriculture to optimising crop yield.
Annual monocarpic species flower once during their life, produce seeds and then undergo generalized senescence leading to death of the plant.
By contrast polycarpic perennials survive seed production and live for many years flowering repeatedly.
Most of our major crops are monocarpic annuals but perennials predominate…
