This project investigates the role of the AtABC transporter in phototropism, the plant's ability to grow towards light. By studying mutant plants, the research aims to uncover how light gradients influence growth and development.
Plants can reorient their growth towards a favorable light environment to optimize photosynthesis in a process called phototropism.
This process is initiated by the phototropin blue light receptors, perceiving light gradients to trigger downstream signaling leading to the asymmetric distribution of auxin across the photo-stimulated stem.
The Fankhauser lab showed that AtABC, an ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter family protein is important for phototropism.
AtABC shares homology with Drosoph…
