US-Germany Cooperative Research: Identification and Analysis of CBL1 Calcium Sensor/CIPK1 Target Proteins

0233146 Luan本奖项旨在与德国乌尔姆大学分子植物学系的Jorg Kudla合作，为该协会和加州大学伯克利分校的两名博士后提供资助。这项研究将侧重于了解高等植物中将环境胁迫因素与细胞反应联系起来的信号通路。这些反应是一种进化发展，使植物能够“监控”潜在的有害压力条件，然后相应地改变它们的生理和发育程序。PI最近的研究已经确定了一个新的双离子化钙感受器蛋白家族，它们在植物对胁迫信号的反应中发挥作用。该家族中的一名成员可能对正在研究的植物反应起到了重要作用。美国和德国团队的共同努力对于将研究水平提高到一个新的高度是不可或缺的。这项合作还将允许对参与这项研究的两名美国博士后进行国际培训。

0233146LuanThis award supports the PI and two postdoctoral students from the University of California, Berkeley in a collaboration with Jorg Kudla of the Department of Molecular Botany at the University of Ulm, Germany. The research will focus on understanding the signaling pathways that link environmental stress factors to cellular responses in higher plants. These responses are an evolutionary development that allow plants to "monitor" potentially harmful stress conditions and then change their physiological and developmental programs accordingly. The PI's recent studies have identified a new family of doubly ionized Calcium sensor proteins that play a role in plant response to stress signals. One member of that family is probably instrumental in the plant response under study.The combined effort of the US and German groups is indispensable to raising the level of research to a new height. The collaboration will also allow for international training of the two US postdoctoral students involved in the research.
