Shape-shifting organelles: How does ER-remodelling affect plastid morphology?

Research Question: How does ER-remodelling affect plastid morphology?
The project focuses on unveiling the relationship between the plastid and ER by investigating novel proteins that seem to mediate the contact between both cellular compartments. Besides investigating the possible bridge between organelles key players changing plastid morphological aspects will be analysed in depth to understand if plastidial proteins can regulate the enigmatic protrusions known as stromules.
