A new signalling component in shoot architecture: trehalose 6-phosphate

该项目旨在研究一种新的信号通路在植物枝条分枝中的作用。新的知识，预计植物如何通过糖或激素水平和/或信号调节芽分支。目的是建立在最近的发现，海藻糖6-磷酸（Tre 6P）促进芽分支，并调查蔗糖是否通过Tre 6P的作用，以及蔗糖和Tre 6P与植物激素相比有什么作用。 显著的好处可能包括新的遗传或管理策略，以修改拍摄架构。

This project aims to investigate the role of a new signalling pathway involved in shoot branching. New knowledge is expected on how plants regulate shoot branching via sugar or hormone levels and/or signalling. The aims to build on recent finding that trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) promotes shoot branching and to investigate whether sucrose acts via Tre6P and what role sucrose and Tre6P have compared with plant hormones. Significant benefits may include new genetic or management strategies to modify shoot architecture.
