This project investigates how plants adapt to environmental stressors like drought and salinity by studying the biopolymers cutin and suberin. It aims to uncover the mechanisms behind their assembly and regulation to enhance crop resilience.
Environmental stressors such as nutritional imbalances, severe temperature, drought, and salinity are detrimental to plant growth.
As a major strategy for adaptation to environmental stressors, plants have evolved extracellular barriers as part of their cell walls made of aliphatic biopolymers, cutin and suberin, along with their associated waxes.
Cutin and cuticular waxes form the cuticle that covers the outer surfaces of leaves, fruits, and flowers.
Suberin, on the other hand, is present in th…
