Unraveling the mechanism of auxin-mediated gravitropic root bending in Arabidopsis.

Based on the transcriptome data the project aims to generate a gene regulatory network leading to root bending and to unravel the role and function of several of the identified genes in the bending response. This will be achieved by in silico analysis of the available data and a detailed analysis of the expression pattern, of the effect of gene-overexpression, of the location of the gene product and possible interaction partners.
