This project aims to understand how the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum responds to UV-B radiation at the genetic level. It focuses on identifying signaling pathways and transcription factors involved in stress responses to improve diatom resilience.
Solar UV-B radiations can have a negative impact on photosynthetic organisms leading to a reduction of the uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Aquatic ecosystems absorb a similar amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide as terrestrial ecosystems, are estimated to produce half of the biomass on our planet and are a major source for human food supply.
At the base of these ecosystems, phytoplankton are the main primary producers.
Among them, diatoms have colonized all types of aquatic environments an…
