Wound induced electrical signals in Arabidopsis thaliana (WOUND IN EARTH)
Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Jul 30, 2014,
"Electrical phenomena in plants were first documented in the 1800s, yet progress in this area has been slow. There is evidence that most plants produce electrical signals that travel long distances within the plant. This electrical activity is triggered by biotic and abiotic stimuli, supporting the notion that excitability is a robust biological trait in plants. Major objectives of this project ar ...

"Origin, localization and biological function of malondialdehyde in plants" (MALONDIPLANT)
Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,
"Malondialdehyde (MDA) has been considered in the past exclusively as the non-enzymatic oxidation by-product of many fatty acids with three (trienoic fatty acids) or more double bonds. However, nowadays MDA is known to be responsible of the up-regulation of many genes involved, principally, in abiotic stress responses in plants. The origin of a second MDA pool independent of trienoic fatty acids f ...
