Objective
The plant cell wall (CW) is a crucial defense layer surrounding plants cells. CW composition and structure are directly associated with environmental stresses and biomass production. Cell Wall Integrity (CWI) maintenance is a crucial key player responsible for monitoring and maintaining plant CW composition and structure under biotic and abiotic stresses. Thus, the new knowledge and understanding of the CWI machinery have enormous potential to increase crop production and develop new highly adaptive crop species. The CWI maintenance mechanism involves receptor-like kinases and ion channels in the plasma membrane, which perceive signals arising from CWI impairment and modulate downstream signaling cascades, leading to changes in cytoskeleton organization, phytohormone production (ABA, SA, JA, and ethylene), gene expression, and cell wall composition/structure. I will use my expertise in signaling transduction pathways and combine them with the knowledge and skill used host lab on CWI signaling pathways to determine the mechanism regulating SA responses and downstream factors of plant cells in CWI impairments. Therefore, my project aims to discover transcriptional regulators mediating the response to impairment of primary cell wall integrity and characterize signal transduction elements controlling SA induction and modulating SA-controlled responses. I will share the results with the scientific community and the public using social networks, attending international conferences, and publish research outcomes in a high-impact scientific journal in an open-access format. This project will form the foundation of my future career as a researcher, and the project results can be used to increase crop production and develop new highly adaptive crop species.
