Production of volatile compounds in plants: how plants communicate
Despite their sedentary lifestyle, plants can actively communicate not only with each other but also with the surrounding environment. One of the key ways they communicate is through the production and release of volatile compounds. These compounds can easily spread through the air and can affect the behavior of not only other plants but also microorganisms and animals. Current knowledge of the influence of the environment on released volatile compounds is quite limited. This work will aim to study the production of volatile compounds in selected plants. During the work, the student will learn various methods of collecting volatile compounds and their subsequent analysis using gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry. The student will then try to interpret the influence of external conditions on the measured volatile compound profiles and the role of the found compounds in plant communication.

We have a new project for international collaboration Stabilizing CROP yield under unfavourable conditions by molecular PRIM(E)ing, coordinated by Pavel Kerchev, congratulations!
Modern agriculture is expected to provide ever-increasing amounts of food and feed under uncertain climate scenarios and significant pressure from consumers and regulators for environmentally friendly solutions to combat abiotic and biotic stress associated yield losses. Biostimulants that can improve crop productivity in a sustainable way offer a plausible alternative to the heavily criticized synthetic agrochemicals. To achieve their full potential a science-based understanding of their beneficial effects and avenues for fine-tuning of their bioactivities are of utmost importance. The proposed project will bring together expertise in plant systems biology, chemical biology, as well as biostimulant preparation and characterization, to discover new and optimize existing biostimulants by tapping into innovative sources of natural compounds and integrative biology approaches for elucidating molecular mechanisms underlying stress priming. A global network of leading plant scientists in abiotic and biotic stress signaling from Europe, Africa, and South America, facilitated by an industrial partner specializing in biostimulants production and marketing, will channel their efforts to bring sustainable solutions for crop protection to the farmer. An extensive mobility program will facilitate optimal knowledge-sharing within the network, maximize the research outputs and ultimately lead to increasing the human capacity of the partners.
