Programmable sugar distribution in plants
Anotace anglicky
Manipulation of sugar distribution is a long-lasting agricultural pursuit since it can improve plant nutritional value and change susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stress. Nevertheless, this strategy has not yielded the expected progress due to our limited understanding of the intricate molecular regulation of sugar distribution and lack of tools to overcome its vast genetic redundancy. Recently, I found the first plant receptor able to regulate sugar transport from source to sink in Arabidopsis thaliana, creating an entry point for developing a programmable sugar distribution toolkit. However, the molecular players involved in the signaling pathway of this receptor are unknown. I aim to identify these players and understand the precise molecular mechanism, to be able to engineer adjustable tissue-specific control of the receptor signaling output to flexibly control the rate and destination of sugar transport to various organs to boost productive plant yield and stress resilience. As a proof of concept, I will transfer the developed tools to potato and tomato plants.
