CENTER FOR GENOMIC STUDIES ON PLANT-ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION FOR SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD

Welcome to RGC-AoE Center for Genomic Studies on Plant Environment Interaction ​
​
Background
​
Water scarcity, global warming and topsoil depletion are among the major factors hampering sustainable agriculture and food security. The centre for genomic studies on plant-environment interaction for sustainable agriculture and food security (the center) comprises of a strong team of local, mainland and international researchers from notable institutes, who is committed to investigating the underlying mechanisms of plant- environment interactions and developing new plant and agricultural technology to strike a better balance between sustainable agriculture and food security, by answering a central question: “How do plants interact with their environment?”
