ProgrammeResearch in this programme is directed towards the goals of improving the efficiency of production, yield and quality. This programme aims to understand and manipulate the molecular and biochemical controls that determine assimilation and partitioning. It focuses on metabolic regulation and signalling and how these processes are influenced by the genotype and environmental factors. /
