Projectomschrijving
The aim of this project is to unravel the molecular mechanisms regulating plant growth inhibition upon mild osmotic stress by combining quantitative phenotyping and chemical genetics. A high-throughput imaging platform will allow to identify small molecules positively affecting shoot growth under mild osmotic stress. Promising compounds will then be used as chemical tools to study molecular mechanisms.
