Funded Activity Summary

Dissecting novel roles of succinate dehydrogenase in stomatal aperture and root elongation in plants. Succinate dehydrogenase (complex II) is part of the respiration processes in plants and new evidence shows that reactive oxygen species generated by it can influence plant development and stress tolerance. However, there are still many unanswered questions about the composition and function of this enzyme and its dual roles in plants. This project will study this protein complex in the model plant Arabidopsis and the crop plant rice, identify its role in signalling in depth to provide knowledge adding development of strategies for improving tolerance of crops to stresses.
