| The
main goal of our research is to uncover the
molecular mechanisms that underlie ethylene
signaling and response in Arabidopsis. In other
words, to understand how the binding of this plant
hormone to its receptors generates a signal, how
this signal is transmitted from these receptors to
the cell nucleus where the transcription of a
large number of genes is altered, and how these
transcriptional changes are coordinated with other
developmental and hormonal cues to produce a
specific response. To study this process in all
its complexity we are using a variety of genetic
and genomic approaches. |
