Seed longevity in lettuce
Background: Seed storage is essential for the conservation of biodiversity in ecological settings (soil seed bank) as well as in storage facilities for crop production. The latter is extremely relevant for the Dutch plant breeding ...

How plastids regulate plant breathing?
Plastids are the signature organelles in photosynthetic organisms. While chloroplasts — one of their differentiated forms — are well-known for converting sunlight into food, plastids play a broader role beyond photosynthesis. They ...

UV regulation of photomorphogenesis and specialized metabolism in medicinal cananbis
The project aims to understand the effect of UV radiation in the regulation of the photomorphogenesis and specialized metabolism in medicinal cannabis. On the specialized metabolism we aim to understand whether there is an induc ...

Investigating salt-induced pathways controlling root branching
Salt stress poses a serious threat to plant growth and survival. Salt can induce redistribution of the root system to result in changes in lateral root development. In our previous work we found a mutant showed a salt-induced late ...

Navigation System Needed: How Tomato Root Avoids Salt in Soil
This project mainly concerns the physiological relevance of Halotropism in Tomato, which describes the phenomenon of root growing away from high salt gradient. We will be investigating how Tomato root achieves this with plate and  ...

The role of biostimulants in resilience to salinity in tomato
Aim: The function of different biostimulants into salt stress resilience in tomato. For plants to be resilient to abiotic stresses like salt stress an drought, the root system is of vital importance. Roots are the primary organs  ...

Transcriptional regulation of resilience to salinity in tomato
Aim: Functional characterization of transcription factors that regulate plant resilience to salt stress using CRISPR/CAS9 in tomato. For plants to be resilient to abiotic stresses like salt stress an drought, the root system is ...

Interaction between heat and drought stress in Arabidopsis seedlings
Changing climate is predicted to amplify both the frequency and intensity of abiotic stress combinations, and poses a significant menace to plants, agricultural yield, and food supply. Confronted with simultaneous stressors, plan ...

Identifying loci that regulate seed dormancy and seed longevity
Two major characteristics that control seed quality are seed dormancy and seed longevity (storability). Knowledge on the genetic control of dormancy and seed longevity is essential to breed varieties that have the required level o ...
