Summary Information provided by the agent in SIGEVA
Our group studies how plants integrate hormonal, redox and stress signals to regulate growth, defense and immunity under high temperatures. We use molecular biology, genetics and plant physiology approaches, mainly in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana and in crops of agronomic interest such as Glycine max (soybean).One of our main research lines focuses on the role of selective autophagy in plant immunity at elevated temperatures. In particular, we study the autophagy receptor NBR1 and its... Our group studies how plants integrate hormonal, redox and stress signals to regulate growth, defense and immunity under high temperatures. We use molecular biology, genetics and plant physiology approaches, mainly in the model species Arabidopsis thaliana and in crops of agronomic interest such as Glycine max (soybean).One of our main research lines focuses on the role of selective autophagy in plant immunity at elevated temperatures. In particular, we study the autophagy receptor NBR1 and its role in the selective degradation of components associated with hormonal signaling pathways involved in growth?defense balance during thermomorphogenesis and plant?pathogen interactions.We also investigate how heat stress alters cellular redox homeostasis and chloroplast dynamics, including stromule formation and retrograde signaling associated with acclimation and thermotolerance. We are currently exploring sustainable strategies such as seed thermopriming and Bradyrhizobium inoculation to improve heat stress resilience in soybean.
