EpiStress investigates the role of epigenetic mechanisms in plant responses to low oxygen levels and infections. The project aims to identify how these mechanisms affect gene expression in crops, particularly in the context of climate change adaptation.
Climate change is a global problem that is drastically changing our planet.
Increased precipitation in Northern Europe has caused major crop losses, in part due to the oxygen deprivation experienced by the waterlogged roots.
In mammals, epigenetic mechanisms (histone demethylation) have recently been identified that play a major role in the response to low oxygen levels (hypoxia), and response to infection.
There are striking similarities between the mammalian and plant responses to hypoxia and…
