Abstract

Plant growth is dependent on supply of carbon dioxide, water, and at least thirteen essential mineral nutrients. Some nutrients can be utilised directly, some, such as N and S which are acquired mostly in the oxidised forms of nitrate and sulphate, have to be assimilated, i.e. reduced and incorporated into bioorganic compounds. Plants are able to react to variations in supply of the mineral elements, e.g., by increasing uptake rate upon nutrient deficiency. I am interested in the mechanism and control of sulphate uptake and assimilation. The aim of my project is, using Arabidopsis as a model system, to dissect the molecular regulation of plant sulphate assimilation pathway.
