My Project at the lab :

My project aims to determine the effect of short-term priming acclimation to light stress in the epigenome. For that, I will access what happens at different levels in the seedling, such as: chromatin modifications, transcription factors, transcription and nucleus organisation. I am interested in understanding if any of these contribute to enhance the plant’s response to a second exposure to light stimulus. I will study both Arabidopsis thaliana not only as an object of study, but also to define a set up that will be adapted to Brassica napus.
