Project description
 

The main objective of this project is to obtain new and more fundamental insights on the regulation and physiological importance of the Euonymus-related lectins in the induced response of plants against abiotic and biotic stresses. Ultimately these data can be exploited to obtain plants with a better growth, higher yield and better protection against pest insects
