''Deciphering the role of brassinosteroids in plant adaptation to climate change'' Dr Ana Caño Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) Barcelona SPAIN Wednesday, March 30, 2022 11:00 Despite the massive amount of information gathered around the functions and mechanisms of Brassinosteroids (BRs) in plants, an important limitation persists in our knowledge of this signaling pathway: almost all we know comes from observations on the BRI1 receptor pathway, that is essential for growth and development, and for which mutants are highly pleiotropic and typically dwarf. Since the discovery of BRI1-like receptors (BRL1/3) (1) , we still do not really grasp what are their fundamental functions in plants. Twenty years of research (by ours and other labs) have resumed the analysis of BRLs as redundant BRI1 receptors with a marginal vascular expression and lack of apparent mutant phenotypes. Strikingly, our work carried in the context of an ERC CoG “ICRICA” takes a novel perspective to explore the function of BRLs in Arabidopsis, to understand the inner working of this pathway. In light of our recent findings showing that overexpression of BRL3-receptors confers drought resistance, we have now deciphered the BRL3 pathway in Arabidopsis, including novel components in the pathway essential to plant adaption to climate change. Our new data not only change the paradigm for our present understanding of BR signaling in plants, but also open new and exciting avenues for engineering climate resilient crops. The latest results of our research will be presented at the VIB seminar.
