The Stress and Genome Dynamics Lab, a unique research entity, is dedicated to the study of plants. Our focus is on unraveling the intricate ways in which various stressors impact the genome dynamics of plants and their responses to stress.<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Identification of Stress-Responsive Genes:<\/span>\u00a0Our lab aim to identify specific genes and genetic pathways involved in plant responses to stress, such as drought, heat, cold, salinity, or pathogen attacks. Understanding these genes can help in breeding stress-tolerant crop varieties.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Genome Stability Under Stress: We explore how stress affects plant genome stability. This involves studying DNA damage and repair mechanisms and epigenetic modifications that influence gene expression in response to stress.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Molecular Mechanisms of Stress Adaptation: Our lab investigate the molecular mechanisms that allow plants to adapt to stress conditions.\u00a0<\/span>This<\/span>\u00a0includes studying signaling pathways, transcriptional regulation, and post-translational modifications involved in stress responses.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Comparative Genomics: Comparative genomics studies might\u00a0<\/span>be conducted<\/span>\u00a0to understand how different plant species or varieties respond to stress.\u00a0<\/span>By<\/span>\u00a0comparing the genomes of stress-tolerant and stress-sensitive plants<\/span>, we can identify genetic variations associated with stress resilience<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Epigenetic Regulation: Our lab explores how epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, regulate gene expression in response to stress. Understanding epigenetic mechanisms can provide insights into the long-term adaptive responses of plants to stress.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Application in Agriculture: The<\/span>\u00a0findings from our lab’s research can be applied in agriculture to develop stress-tolerant crop varieties through breeding programs or genetic engineering approaches. This can enhance crop productivity and resilience in the face of climate change and other environmental challenges.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Stress and Genome Dynamics Lab is dedicated to studying plants and their ability to cope with stress at a molecular level, a research area of significant importance in advancing our understanding of plant resilience and agricultural sustainability. Through this work, the lab aims to find practical applications to improve crop production, furthering the field of plant biology.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We always welcome students with high motivation.<\/strong><\/p>\n
