Effect of High Night Time Temperature (HNTT) on C4 and C3 Biochemical Pathway and Resultant Crop YieldThesis Abstract
The warming climate has posed challenges due to increasing night-time temperature resulting in increased respiration and VPD, ultimately reducing yields and water use efficiency. During such stress, plants alter their metabolism and biochemical pathways with increased antioxidants and other heat stress metabolites. Thus, understanding the metabolic tolerance mechanism will enable selection of tolerant crops and their genotype in stress environment for sustained crop yields.
Why My Research is Important/Impacts
The global temperature is to increase and thus crops tolerance to such increased temperature is required for global food security status. The research enables us to understand biochemical and physiological bases of tolerance of high-night temperature stress in crops. Further, engaging crop modelling aspects in the stress environment crop simulation will enable proper crop and varietal selection for sustained yields. In addition, the metabolomics and subsequent proteomics will open avenue for resistance breeding of crops.
