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.

植物是高度塑料生物，也是研究环境刺激如何指导其形态和生长的理想系统。由于两个参数都取决于阳光，因此植物对变化和温度变化的反应互连。该建议的目的是了解植物如何应对光线和温暖的温度信号。预计全球温度的令人震惊的升高将导致巨大的农作物损失（每1级C每1度增加10％）。因此，迫切需要发现和表征关键的分子成分，以整合植物中的光和耐热反应。我们将研究一种蛋白如何根据其模型植物拟南芥中的“细胞邻居”来控制植物生长与保护与温度升高之间的平衡。我们的目的是将我们的发现应用于经济重要的植物物种，以最大程度地减少作物损失并最大程度地保护全球变暖。
