Adaptive potential of dynamic photosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana (A14#)

Subject Area Plant Physiology
Term since 2024
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 456082119
 

Project Description

The proposed work for TRR 341 seeks to determine the genetic basis of rapid photosynthetic responses in Arabidopsis thaliana and their contribution to fitness. Plants will be grown under light simulations of presence or absence of grass competitors. These will be based on diurnal measurements of light intensity and quality in current common garden experiments. Dynamic photosynthetic and fitness-related traits will be determined in an diversity panel.
