Deciphering (a)biotic stress-mediated COI1 phosphorylation code in wheat Ghent University
Due to climate change, crop plants are exposed to higher average temperature and more frequent temperature extremes, and this has a negative impact on their growth and yield. Furthermore, climate change leads to weakened plant immunity caused by pathogens thriving under high temperature conditions. To improve thermotolerance and disease resistance in crops (e.g. wheat), it is crucial to understand the molecular and biochemical basis of how ...
