Description of the research topic:
Plant growth, survival, and productivity are constantly challenged by various abiotic stressors. When plants are first exposed to stress, they record and memorize molecular information that allows them to respond competently and rapidly to the next stress event (es). Priming can therefore be an excellent method for sustainable agriculture and the food industry to make crops more stress-tolerant despite changing environmental conditions, thereby reducing the risk of crop failure. In this research, we will investigate how the intensity, repetition and duration of priming stimuli affect metabolic pathways and how they influence gene expression and protein/metabolite accumulation/depletion. Understanding this would be a fundamental step in developing better priming exercises.
