Transcription factors controlling plant responses to environmental stress conditions

Cel

Physical or biological stresses cause major reductions in potential productivity of agricultural crops. To maintain the competitive position of European Sees and agriculture and to secure food production, advances in the understanding of plant stress responses should be rapidly adopted for innovations. We will contribute to the necessary scientific progress by studying specific regulatory proteins with crucial roles in stress adaptation. Using a genetically diverse range of well-characterized mode plants, we will analyse how these regulators help plants to achieve specificity in their responses to different stresses. This will deliver strategic knowledge of how tolerance to single or multiple stresses can be achieved by modifications at the level of these regulators and lead to identification of useful gene products involved in stress responses. These will be exploited within the project to improve and diversify the cultivation of agricultural and horticultural plant species.
