Project

Sex signaling and life cycle evolution in pennate diatoms

The goal of the project is to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate the life cycle of pennate diatoms. Identification of molecules involved in life cycle regulation that are directly influenced by environmental conditions will help to monitor and predict the consequences of global climate changes on diatom populations
