Collaborative Research: Discovering the function of ACT domain repeat proteins in karrikin — NSF Award to University of California

Plants use internal and external chemical signals to shape their development and interactions with the environment. Understanding how these chemicals are formed, perceived, and responded to can lead to improvements in crop yields that are important for food security in the face of continued population growth and enviro

AbstractPlants use internal and external chemical signals to shape their development and interactions with the environment. Understanding how these chemicals are formed, perceived, and responded to can lead to improvements in crop yields that are important for food security in the face of continued population growth and environmental stresses. This project will investigate how karrikins, a class of chemicals found in smoke that act as plant growth regulators, and internal karrikin-like chemicals are con
