Centrum experimentální biologie rostlin
Annotation in Czech
Cílem projektu je rozšíření výzkumné kapacity žadatele a 2 partnerů v oblasti experimentální biologie rostlin. Náplní projektu je objasnit mechanismy, jimiž rostliny reagují na vlivy vnějšího prostředí, zahrnující jak abiotické, tak biotické stresy a jejich kombinace. Šíře přístupů (od buněčné úrovně až po vývoj plodů) a metodik (transkriptomika, proteomika, hormonomika, těkavé látky) umožní získat komplexní obraz dynamické odezvy rostlin na vnější prostředí.

Project results evaluation
The project was aimed at elucidating the mechanisms of plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses and their combination at the cellular level of intact plants during the vegetative and reproductive phases and fruit development. The importance of sharing research facilities, complementary approaches and knowledge exchange in addressing challenging questions in plant biology was demonstrated during the project. The project has made breakthroughs in plant-pathogen interactions. The results confirmed the essential role of phytohormones in stress responses, including the negative correlation of leaf bioactive gibberellins with drought stress, and the role of cytokinins in ROS homeostasis, sulphur metabolism and heat stress responses. Molecular analyses revealed expansin-mediated cell wall remodeling, the role of ALBA and LARP6C proteins in pollen development under abiotic stress, and the effect of heat stress on fertilization rate, embryo and seed development.
