Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Organisms depend on water for survival. Understanding desiccation tolerance mechanisms is critical for the reproduction of grass bioenergy crops, whose pollen grains are dispersed by air and able to…

Limited Scope

Plant seeds undergo a programmed desiccation and rehydration, but the molecular mechanism underpinning cellular survival during these developmental stages has remained elusive. FLOE1 is expressed…
