International Network of Plant Abiotic Stress

Action: FA0605. Signaling control of stress tolerance and production of stress protective compounds in plants

COST STSM Reference Number: COST-ONLINE_STSM-FA0605-6181

Name Applicant: Carlos Samuel Galvan Ampudia

Host and institution: Prof. Dr. Laszlo Bogre,  Royal Holloway University of London

STSM Title: A protein kinase signaling pathway regulates the direction of root growth upon salt stress

The visit to the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Laszlo Bogre at the Royal Holloway University of London was a productive and successful period. With the extensive expertise of Prof. Dr. Laszlo Bogre in the field of proteomics I have learned many new tools and produced promising results which will contribute to a join publication in the near feature. We were able to establish a direct link between PDK1 and PID in vivo, and to provide a biological relevance of such interaction. In conclusion the COST STMS funded visit to the lab Prof. Dr. Laszlo Bogre at the Royal Holloway University of London was an enjoyable and rewarding period of time in which I have the unique opportunity learn and to interact with many groups at the Plant Molecular Sciences.
