Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Manipulation of plants to provide stability of yield under unpredictable growth conditions will be essential to respond to the effect of climate change in increasing the uncertainty of the agricultural environment. The aim of the N-vironment project was to provide a mechanistic understanding of the role of the N-end rule pathway of targeted proteolysis in controlling plant responses to the environment. The project brought together six research groups with complementary expertise in fundamental molecular plant science, biochemistry and chemistry, in four institutions. The objectives of N-vironment were related to understand the role of this pathway in controlling plant-environment interactions, including defining the substrates and enzymatic components of the N-end rule pathway, understanding integration into cellular signaling pathways, and defining the extent of the role of the N- end rule pathway in plant response to the biotic and abiotic environment. During the project many proteins have been assessed as possible substrates, leading to the identification of a cohort of confirmed substrates of the Cys-Arg/N-end rule pathway, and association of the pathway to previously unknown developmental, physiological and environmental interactions were made. Analyses of phenotypes of mutant substrates and enzymic components of the pathway have shown the very wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses that are sensed by the pathway. Resources that we have developed during the project will allow future detailed dissection of the role of this pathway in controlling plant biology.
