Project description

My project aims to unravel basic knowledge on the identity and function of plant metacaspase proteins. The approach will be maintly biochemical, molecular and cellualr biology. I will work on the identification of metacaspase substrates (the degradome) with the aims to modulate programmed cell death in Arabidopsis thaliana.
