Translocated signals regulating stem cell (meristem) activity in legumes

韧皮部和木质部的转运通道为植物的生长器官分配营养。它们还通过传递信号来调节器官之间的交流，这些信号会引起对发育和环境线索的反应。信号转导最重要的部位是根和茎尖分生组织的干细胞。该项目将使用代谢组学/蛋白质组学方法发现和识别这些信号，并依赖于lupin允许收集运输流体的独特特征。该项目将确定修改信号作用的方法，以提高豆科植物的性能。

Translocation channels of phloem and xylem allocate nutrients to growing plant organs. They also mediate communication between organs through transport of signals that elicit responses to developmental and environmental cues. The most important sites for signal transduction are the stem cells of root and shoot apical meristems. This project will discover and identify these signals using a metabolomic/proteomic approach and relying on a unique feature of lupin that permits collection of transport fluids. The project will identify ways to modify signal action to enhance performance of legumes.
