Lipid Sensors Integrate Diurnal Phospholipid Metabolism with Gene Expression Networks in P — NSF Award to Kansas State University
Interactions between proteins and lipid metabolites are highly dynamic in all living cells, yet their full scope and biological significance remain poorly understood. In plants, membrane lipids provide cellular storage of the vital chemical element phosphorus. Imbalances in lipid metabolism result in organismal abnorma

| Abstract | Interactions between proteins and lipid metabolites are highly dynamic in all living cells, yet their full scope and biological significance remain poorly understood. In plants, membrane lipids provide cellular storage of the vital chemical element phosphorus. Imbalances in lipid metabolism result in organismal abnormalities affecting growth outcomes. This project will investigate regulatory proteins that contain lipid sensors, addressing how metabolism and day-night signals integrate gene expre |
