Project description

In this study we aim to discover and characterize the molecular mechanism by which ACC transport is achieved. Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological techniques will be used to discover transporter proteins, and study their biological relevance. In addition, we will relate these transporters to particular stresses.
