Abstract :

With the current developmentof novel omics technologies and through large-scale consortia projects, biological systems are being engineered and further investigated at an unprecedented scale. This approach represents significant challenge in the effort to integrate different technologies, methods and research strategies. In our research we have developed technologies for protein engineering with the application on proteins involved in plant hormone regulation and signaling. Targeted changes in a plant hormone system represent promising direction in plant bioengineering. We have applied various omics approaches to investigate plants with induced changes in their hormone system. Obtained data are important in deciphering complex effects responsible for plant growth and development. We propose a combination of protein engineering and plant omics research as a tool for both basic research uncoveringgenom/phenom functional links and also as a source of knowledge needed for further development of crops.
