Cluster IV: Molecular Biology of P - The central Role of P in Signaling and Metabolism from Cells to Ecosystems

The overarching goal is to unravel the central role of P as a metabolic, signaling and regulatory molecule from molecular to ecosystem levels. In fact, P acquisition, mobilisation and assimilation involve various molecular mechanisms in microorganisms, plants and animals. Moreover, P plays a key role in signalling at the level of ecosystems, organisms and cells. Projects in this Cluster aim to analyse the molecular mechanisms related to the uptake of P from the environment into the organism, the distribution, storage and mobilisation of P within the organisms and its essential roles in the cellular metabolism as well as in the crosstalk of microorganisms, cells and tissues.
