PhD project The role of peroxisomes in plant adaptation to abiotic stress
All cells of animals and plants are subdivided into compartments. In addition to the well-known mitochondria, plastids and the cell nucleus, peroxisomes are essential cell organelles, in which many important oxidative reactions take place. Some peroxisome functions are known to be essential for organisms to adapt to and tolerate environmental stress conditions. In this PhD project, novel proteins and plant mechanisms conferring tolerance of environmental conditions (e.g., heat, high light) shall be identified in the model plant Arabidopsis and functionally be described. Genes induced under stress conditions will be identified by experimental and computational methods and their molecular function partly be characterized. The basic research data obtained by this research project likely will be instrumental in increasing the productivity of crop plants and in reducing crop losses by environmental stress conditions such global warming.
