Physiological and Molecular Characterization of Natural Genes Controlling Seed Dormancy by Regulating Gibberellin Biosynthesis or Signaling in Rice

Problem

The objectives of this project are to:

Confirm the qSD1-2 and qSD7-2 candidate genes for the seed dormancy function;
Identify regulatory roles of the SD1-2 and SD7-2 genes in the development or release of seed dormancy; and
Characterize the SD7-2 protein for kinase activity and interacting factors in the GA signaling pathway.

About SSF

With plant science challenges being fundamental to the mission of the SSF, it is critical that the research driving needs that are beneficial to the future success of the global seed industry are at the forefront of what we do.

The scope of the SSF is to help solve scientific challenges while supporting research and identifying funding mechanisms, and creating technical information. The SSF also fosters networking and external agreements, recognizes professional and student achievement, and supports America Seed Trade Association student programs.

There are currently six subject matter areas that have been designated as significant importance to SSF members and stakeholders:

Breeding Systems
Seed Quality
Seed Production and Technology
Seed Health and Pathology
Digital Agriculture
Seed Applied Technology
