| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plants are able to sense environmental signals, process them and respond to them effectively. In this study, experts from different disciplines were gathered and a novel mechanistic view on the environmental sensing of plants was sought under tight collaboration. Thereby, important discoveries were made about the spatial structures and signaling mechanisms of the environmental responses, structural natures of the sensor molecules, and organelle responses to the environmental stimuli, from which a new view on the environmental sensing of plants is emerging. Furthermore, novel techniques to determine fine spatial structures of gene expression and metabolite accumulation, and those to manipulate plant cells with the aid of laser-based technology were developed. These techniques were successfully applied to explore new aspects of plant environmental sensing.
