Proteomics of plant responses to salt stress

Obiettivo

This project will involve the examination of the effects of salt stress in two model plant species the glycophyte Arabidopsis thaliana and the halophyte Thellungiella halophilla.

During the first phase of the project, the physiology of these plants responses to salt stress will be examined, with particular focus on response of photosynthesis.

The aim of this work will be to identify the key regulatory processes that allow plants to avoid production of reactive oxygen species under salt stress and in particular how these differ between species.

A combination of gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and time-resolved absorbance spectroscopy will be adopted to gain a complete picture of the physiological responses of the plants to salt stress.

In the second phase of the project a characterisation of the chloroplast proteome will be undertaken with a view to identifying novel proteins involved in responses to salt stress in the two species.

Finally work will be undertaken to identify key changes induced in response to salt stress in the two species using new techniques in isobaric labelling of peptides (iTraq).
