This project investigates the process of autophagy in plants, focusing on the development of a system to detect autophagic activity in real-time. It aims to create a molecular map of autophagosome movement, enhancing understanding of plant health and stress responses.
Autophagy (from the Greek for “self eating”) is a catabolic process, by which eukaryotic cells degrade and recycle their content.
This mechanism removes superfluous, damaged or harmful molecules or organelles and thus greatly impacts fitness of the organism.
Autophagic cargo destined for degradation is delivered to the lytic compartment by specialized vesicles, autophagosomes.
As of yet, the path from the plant autophagosomes assembly site to the lytic vacuole is uncharted territory.
