ERC Advanced Grant · 2023
PlaMitEng has the highly ambitious overall objective to make the mitochondrial genome of seed plants amenable to genetic engineering. The project consists of two complementary work packages (WPs). In WP1, TALEN-GDM, a technology for plant mitochondrial genome editing recently developed by us will be used to systematically study plant mitochondrial gene expression in vivo. The focus will be on translation initiation and translational regulation in mitochondria, the mechanisms of which are currently completely unknown. In WP2, PlaMitEng will develop a technology for direct genetic transformation of the plant mitochondrial genome. The mitochondrial genome is the only genome of the plant cell…
