The financial support that was granted for the central project during the last funding period was indispensable for joint projects and collaborations within the Research Unit (RU) as well as for its international visibility.The requested funding should enable an effective coordination and financial accounting of the RU and allow for scientific exchange and collaborations between the groups. This includes visits of researchers to other laboratories of this RU for performing experiments, short brainstorming meetings and the organization of the annual RU progress workshops as well as a final perspective colloquium. Furthermore, we request funding for measures to promote equality by supporting young female scientists (especially young mothers) who are currently members of the RU. Moreover, we apply for financial support to enable young scientists and principal investigators topresent their work to the scientific community, both by participating in national and international meetings and by publishing in internationally renowned journals.This central project should provide special services for Ca2+ imaging to all members of the research group that require support in this regard. With this central project, we not only provide special long-term expertise to less frequent users but will also provide Ca2+analyses as service experiments to other groups. Moreover, performing analysis of different groups from the Research Unit by using one and the same equipment provides maximal possible standardization and reproducibility. This will be of special importance for the proposed modeling analysis. Moreover, sharing the plant cultivation for the Ca2+ imaging in this central project and for the phosphoproteomics in the central project 2 provides again maximum standardization and reproducibility and will allow us to cross-connect imaging data with proteomics studies.
