Project description
 

In this project we will employ approaches of molecular genetics, developmental and cell biology to identify the cellular and molecular mechanism of the processes determining the directional throughput of itnercellular auxin flow at level of individual cells as well as these approaches will give us unprecedented insight into the mystery of plant adaptive development especially how plants integrate signals from the environment and translate them into specific adaptation responses.
