Functionality of UV-B light gradients in Arabidopsis.

in this project we will study the effects of UV-B exposure on differential growth in the model plant Arabidopsis. We will investigate whether the UVB light gradient leads to a functional gradient, that eventually controls flavonoid accumulation and control hormonal responses and differential elongation. Molecular physiological, genetic and biochemical methods will be used.
