U.S.-France Cooperative Research: In-Situ Analysis of the C4 and CAM PEPC-Kinase Signal-Transduction Chains in Isolated Mesophyll Protoplasts

这个为期三年的奖项支持内布拉斯加大学的Raymond Chollet和巴黎大学奥赛校区植物生物技术研究所的Jean Vidal在植物生物化学和生理学方面的美法合作研究。研究人员建议继续他们对C4光合作用调控信号通路的合作研究。他们提议研究磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧化酶（PEPC）在C4和石楠酸代谢（CAM）植物原生质体中的作用。法国研究者提供细胞生物学方面的专业知识，而美国研究者提供蛋白激酶方面的专业知识。

9512795 Chollet This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in plant biochemistry and physiology between Raymond Chollet at the University of Nebraska and Jean Vidal at the Plant Biotechnology Institute of the University of Paris, Orsay campus. The investigators propose to continue their collaborative studies on signaling pathways for the regulation of C4 photosynthesis. They propose to investigate the role of a key enzyme - phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) in the protoplasts of C4 and Crassulacean-acid-metabolisim (CAM) plants. The French investigator provides expertise in cell biology while the U.S. investigator provides expertise in protein kinases.
