Our works aim to understand the genetic factors that contribute to good produce quality and high yield in tropical plants. To approach this, we use reverse genetics in combination with a contemporary understanding of plant stress responses and cellular proteostasis in model plants to identify the similarities and differences between model plants and the plant species of interest. Currently, we are focusing on the mechanisms involved in abiotic stresses and seed quality in indica rice. In a collaboration with Science and Technology Research Institute, Chiang Mai University, we are working on identifying mutations induced from low-energy ion beams in several Thai indica rice varieties and comparing them to the genes known to be involved in the pathways of interest from Arabidopsis and japonica rice. We believe that this approach will enable us to unravel the intersection of high productivity and good produce quality and expedite the creation of tools that will assist breeders.
