Role of Salicylic acid in root salt stress tolerance
Salicylic acid (SA) is a well-known phytohormone for biotic stress resilience, but it has also been suggested to regulate ion homeostasis when plants are under salt stress. Ion homeostasis, especially the ratio between sodium and ...

PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORS as regulators of stress responses
Plants continuously sense and respond to the local environment as a means to steer growth and development. Of the various cues perceived by plants, light has a determinant role in this process. The perception of light intensity, q ...

Role of Raf-like MAPKKKs in seed maturation and desiccation tolerance
Maturation is a crucial phase of seed development whereby seeds acquire all the essential seed quality traits such as germinability, dormancy, desiccation tolerance, longevity, etc. In orthodox seeds, maturation phase is accompani ...

Effect of different drying rates on seed maturation and chlorophyll degradation
Maturation is a crucial phase of seed development whereby seeds acquire all the essential seed quality traits such as germinability, dormancy, desiccation tolerance, longevity, etc. In most angiosperms seed maturation is accompani ...

Mapping the salt-induced gene regulatory network that guides root branching
As a major abiotic stress, high soil salinity severely affects plant growth and crop productivity globally. Plants are unable to move from their location, and therefore require various effective mechanisms to cope with salinity. I ...

Characterization of transcription factors involved in root salinity response.
Soil salinity is an increasing problem for agriculture worldwide. To understand how plants deal with this stress we study the development of their root systems under salinity stress. In previous experiments we have identified a sa ...

Seed quality acquisition during maturation in high temperatures
Seed quality is important to ensure most efficient agricultural and genetic conservation practices. Seed quality traits are acquired during seed maturation, while the seed is still attached to the mother plant. The environment in ...

Investigating the role of phytohormone cytokinin in lateral root development under salt stress
Saline soils are becoming an increasing threat to agriculture world wide. In contrast to animals that can move to avoid stressful conditions, plants are literally bound to their location. In response to unfavorable conditions they ...

Prediction and testing of protein dimerization using structural modeling and in vitro validation.
Soil salinity is an increasing problem for agriculture worldwide. To understand how plants deal with this stress we study the development of their root systems under salinity stress. In this thesis you will be studying the dimeriz ...

Can green be seen? Using CRISPR to study green light signaling through the possible photoreceptor cryptochrome 3
Plants use light for photosynthesis, but not all colours of light are equally absorbed and used by chlorophyll. The green colour we associate with plants is due to leaves reflecting green light rather than absorbing it. As green l ...
