Regulation of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly in plastids and coordination with plant physiology (IntegrRegulFeSPlast)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,

Pivotal to the essential plant process of photosynthesis, which determines crop productivity, are iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cofactors. My outgoing phase host, Dr. Pilon at Colorado State University (USA), played a major role in defining the core components of the chloroplast Fe-S cluster assembly machinery essential for photosynthesis. Using an integrated biochemical-physiological-genetic approach in th ...

Regulation of inward K+ channel activity in Arabidopsis by the Shaker subunit AtKC1: molecular mechanisms and role in control of stomatal opening and plant adaptation to water stress (KinPlants)

Start date: Jan 2, 2012, End date: Jan 1, 2014,

Plant Shaker channels form the major K+ conductance of the plasma membrane, thereby mediating large K+ fluxes required for plant growth and development. Also, owing to the role of K+ ion in control of the cell osmotic potential, they are involved in the modulation of stomatal movements, which is necessary for allowing CO2 uptake while limiting transpirational water loss. Thus, they contribute to p ...
