Resumo(s)
"Alternative splicing has emerged as a significant contributor to plant stress tolerance, yet the
specific genes and events involved remain largely elusive. The plant hormone abscisic acid
(ABA) serves as a key regulator of plant stress responses, orchestrating reactions to both
abiotic and biotic stress through its intricate signalling pathway. ABA signalling can trigger
rapid responses, such as stomatal closure, and induce longer-term changes in gene
expression and post-transcriptional regulation. In particular, alternative splicing is being
recognized as an important mechanism in plant stress responses by targeting the ABA
pathway. In my PhD project, I used natural variance in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana
to substantiate a role for alternative splicing in stress responses mediated by the ABA
phytohormone and to uncover functionally significant splicing targets.(...)"
