Funded Activity Summary

From energy stress to hormones: new signals in bacteria and plants. This project will use molecular tools to detect and identify new chemical signals, known as butenolides, that regulate the growth and development of bacteria and plants. This project will use innovative, interdisciplinary techniques to discover where these butenolide signals come from, and how both bacteria and plants detect them. Expected outcomes of this project include a greater understanding of how plants use butenolides to cope with stress such as drought or salinity, and the design of new technologies for manipulating the growth of both plants and bacteria. The long-term benefits of this work should include fresh approaches for enhancing plant performance under sub-optimal conditions.
