Grant Activity:
How are plants responding to damage by oxidizing air pollutants?
Purpose:
This project aims to obtain detailed understanding of the chemical processes by which the air pollutants ozone and nitrogen dioxide damage plants. Through an interdisciplinary approach involving physical organic chemistry and analytical biochemistry, this project intends to discover important reactions between plant biomolecules and air pollutants, identify biochemical mechanisms for pollution damage in crop model plants and reveal the plant defence mechanism at the molecular level. Expected outcomes include the much-needed scientific foundations to support the development of more pollution-resilient crops in the future, ultimately enabling a breakthrough for the triple challenge of environmental pollution, climate change and food security.
