“Determining the function of Small-Cysteine Rich (SCR) peptides duringearly seed development”
This project aims to dissect the role of a particular class of smallcysteine-rich proteins during seed development, and assess their mode ofaction and overall impact on seed growth regulation. This will beachieved by performing a range of biochemical (Yeast two-hybrid screen,immunoprecipitation and MS/MS peptide analysis), molecular (qRT-PCR andin situ hybridisation) and cell biology (histology, confocal microscopyand Immunogold-TEM) techniques to characterise lines that miss-regulatethe expression of these peptides. Expected project outcomes will providenovel insight into the role that SCRs play in the regulation of plantseed development.
