Title: Brassinosteroids in Transit: The Role of Short-Distance Transport in Maintaining Brassinosteroid Homeostasis
Abstract:
Brassinosteroids are steroidal phytohormones essential for plant growth, development, and adaptation to environmental stresses. Acting in a dose-dependent manner, they do not move over long distances within plants, making the maintenance of brassinosteroid homeostasis crucial for their function. In roots, bioactive brassinosteroid synthesis depends on cell-to-cell movement of hormone precursors, while brassinosteroid perception in the apoplast requires their export from the cell. However, the mechanisms governing short-distance brassinosteroid transport remain unknown, and its role in regulating endogenous brassinosteroid levels is still unexplored.
In this presentation, I will provide evidence for the symplastic movement of brassinosteroids and their active export to the apoplast, where they initiate signalling. Our work reveals a previously unrecognized mode of steroid transport in eukaryotes and highlights an additional layer of brassinosteroid homeostasis regulation in plants, which is vital for brassinosteroid function.
Host: Peter Marhavý

UPSCtech Seminar: Gas Exchange System
Thu. 5 Dec, 2024 13:30 - 15:00
UPSC technical seminar (UPSCtech)
The speaker will be Loïc Talide who will talk about:
A versatile gas exchange system: from 13C labelling to custom atmospheric compositions.
The UPSCtech seminar series is an internal series organised by PhD students and Postdocs at UPSC to exchange knowledge about different methods and techniques used in plant science.
