Strategic Objectives
• Master the molecular secrets of 'resurrection plants' that survive 95% water loss.
• Understand the mechanics of cellular vitrification and glass-state preservation.
• Explore the genetic pathways required to port desiccation tolerance into wheat and rice.
• Discover how to safeguard the global food supply against extreme climate volatility.
The Core Challenge
Traditional drought resistance is failing as global water scarcity intensifies, leaving staple grains vulnerable to total harvest failure.
