Plants are highly plastic organisms and an ideal system to study how environmental stimuli guide their morphology and growth. Plant responses to changing light and temperature are interconnected as both parameters rely on sunlight. The aim of this proposal is to understand how plants respond to light and warm temperature signals. The alarming rise in global temperatures are predicted to lead to huge crop losses (up to 10% per 1 degree C increase). Therefore, there is an urgent need to discover and characterise the key molecular components integrating light and thermotolerance responses in plants. We will study how one protein can control the balance between plant growth and protection to elevated temperatures depending on its "cellular neighbourhood" in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Our aim is to apply our findings to economically important plant species as a means of minimising crop loss and maximise protection against global warming.

植物是高度可塑性的生物，是研究环境刺激如何引导其形态和生长的理想系统。植物对变化的光和温度的反应是相互关联的，因为这两个参数都依赖于阳光。这项提议的目的是了解植物如何对光和温暖的温度信号做出反应。据预测，全球气温的惊人上升将导致巨大的作物损失（每升高1摄氏度，损失高达10%）。因此，迫切需要发现和表征植物耐光性和耐热性反应的关键分子成分。我们将研究一种蛋白质如何控制植物生长和高温保护之间的平衡，这取决于它在模式植物拟南芥中的“细胞邻居”。我们的目标是将我们的发现应用于经济上重要的植物物种，作为最大限度地减少作物损失和最大限度地防止全球变暖的手段。
