Project description

The molecular machineries for jasmonate perception and primary signal transduction are largely elucidated, but insights on the downstream molecular mechanisms that manage the synthesis of defence metabolites remain limited. Here, we will carry out a screen integrating transcriptome, proteome and interactome profiling to identify missing regulators that drive triterpene biosynthesis in the model legume Medicago truncatula.
