1. Summary of work to be allocated into a specific WG

Study of grapevine responses to cold stress by   changes in gene expression of different pathways, transcriptome analysis of expressing profile and possible role of CBF transcription factors in grapevine cold acclimation phenomenon. Investigation of biochemical parametres like sugars, starch, proline, amino acid and reactive oxygen species (ROS). The work is mostly integrated into WG2.

2. Links with other WG and/or Subgroups

The work is also linked with, WG2.1 in order to identify unknown regulatory factors controlling abiotic stress and recognize cross-talk between stress signalling pathways.

3. Specific activities to be integrated into WG and/or Subgroubs

4. Qualification for the role and current grants

Full-time PhD student (5th year) of University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne.

Project Title: Physiological responses of Burkholderia phytofirmans strain PsJN colonized plantlets of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) to low non-freezing temperatures

The project is financed by the Greek State Scholarship’s Foundation (I.K.Y.)
