Description

We are focused on taking existing frost-resistant mechanisms, testing their effectiveness, and eventually putting them into frost-sensitive crops like Kiwifruit, Grapes, and Papaya.

We are using Arabidopsis and E.coli to test both the function of these mechanisms and their protein output.

We hope to create a pathway for future research to get frost-resistant plants into the ground in the coming years.

Advice on writing your Project Description

We encourage you to put up a lot of information and content on your wiki, but we also encourage you to include summaries as much as possible. If you think of the sections in your project description as the sections in a publication, you should try to be consist, accurate and unambiguous in your achievements.

Judges like to read your wiki and know exactly what you have achieved. This is how you should think about these sections; from the point of view of the judge evaluating you at the end of the year.
