Abstract
I propose to establish a low light level imaging facility to measure real-time reporters in living cells and organisms. The programme is based on my previous work, using the firefly luciferase gene as a reporter of rhythmic transcription in living Arabidopsis plants. These studies will be pursued, using the spatial resolution of the video cameras in combination with molecular genetics and microinjection, to examine intracellular and intercellular signalling in circadian regulation. The non-invasive methods will be extended to a range of scientific disciplines in Warwick, studying signal transduction pathways in Arabidopsis, yeast, cyanobacteria and Xenopus. This broad programme will develop novel technology and study fundamental problems of biotechnological relevance.
