The The role of the N-end rule pathway of targeted proteolysis in the control of plant growth and development. The function of the hormone Abscisic Acid (ABA), and plant responses to abiotic stress. Understanding the control of seed germination and seedling establishment. Systems approaches, integrating genetics, post-genomics, physiology, mathematics, computer science and engineering, are being used to understand and manipulate plant development and environmental responses. Emphasis is placed on the transfer of molecular genetic information from studies in model species such as Arabidopsis and rice, to address important agricultural problems associated with plant developmental biology and response to abiotic stress. |
