The role of plant hormones in controlling the phenotype of UV-B acclimated plants.
Plant growth and development have a direct impact on the balances and productivity of natural and agrarian ecosystems. The morphology of a plant, which can be influenced by biotic as well as by abiotic environmental factors, plays a determining role in plant growth and development. Chronical and ecologically relevant doses UV-B irradiation have an influence on the development and the morphology of the model organism Arabidopsis. The question concerning the underlying mechanism behind this phenomenon, is the central theme of this project.
