| How do plant cells generate calcium signals? | ||||||||||||||||||
Calcium signals are essential regulators of the responses of plant cells to environmental stimuli. It is well established that Ca2+ ions are released from cellular stores and Ca2+ oscillations occur within the cytosol that encode information that defines the nature of the stimulus. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that underpin Ca2+ signalling and that link Ca2+ to environmental stimuli. This project address this issue by investigating the cellular basis for Ca2+ release from Ca2+ stores in plant cells. The project will involve screening strategies in Arabidopsis or heterologous systems for novel components of this signalling network, and will also incorporate functional proteomics and bioinformatics analyses or cell imaging. Funding Notes This research project is one of a number of projects in the department. It is in competition for funding with the other projects. Usually the project which receives the best applicant will be awarded the funding. The funding is available to citizens of a number of European countries (including the UK). In most cases this will include all EU nationals. However full funding may not be available to all applicants. |
