Regulation of drought stress memory and resilience in Brassica napus plants
| Supervisor | Helene Robert Boisivon, Ph.D. |
| Research Group | Plant Biotech for Stress Resilience |
While epigenetic changes are linked to stress memory in plants, their causal role in drought adaptation remains unproven in Brassica napus. The main goal of this project is to integrate transcriptomic and epigenomic data to identify key stress-responsive loci and validate them using CRISPR/dCas9-mediated targeted DNA methylation. Ultimately, the project will move beyond correlative studies to deliver a proof-of-concept framework for precision epigenome engineering in crops.
