Interplay of chloroplast signalling and the nucleocytoplasmic compartment in acclima-tion responses (C01)
Subject Area
Plant Physiology
Term

Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 270050988
Regularly, changes in plastid gene expression trigger acclimation responses. We identified PP7L, involved in chloroplast (cp) development and an integrator of environmental responses. Interestingly, PP7L is localized to the nucleus. Our goal is to examine both PP7L and transcription factors (TFs) identified in the previous funding period to establish the relationship between cp-derived and nucleocytoplasmic processes in cp biogenesis and acclimation responses. In addition to thorough physiological and functional characterizations under adverse growth conditions, we will combine non-aqueous cell fractionation with -omics approaches. We will also use protein interaction experiments, ChIP-Seq analysis, resequencing and tissue-specific histone mark detection.
