The Big Question:
- genotypic variation in efficiency of micronutrient transport into flower/fruit/grain
The Short-term goals:
- Roles of micronutrients in plant reproduction - flower development and functions
- Plant nutrition physiology/biochemistry and molecular mineral nutrition
- Integrated nutrient management for crop production and plantation forests
