VI.5 - Participation in conducting (leading) the most important research projects or art projects over the last six years
1

VEGA 1/0352/21 This project is aimed to uncover molecular mechanism responsible for controlled cell division and its differentiation together with auxin sensing in cells and tissues of plants with DEK1 overexpression or absence. (2021-2024), principal investigator

2

APVV SK-PT-18-0020 This project is based on unique collaborative approach of two complementary teams interested in the study of

combined climate change effects on important agricultural crops. (2019-2020), principal investigator.

3

APVV-21-0227 Plant calpains and their molecular mode of action in cell fate control. This project focuses on a key regulator of plant cell fate transitions, the large membrane-anchored calpain protease DEK1 at C-terminus, and aim to uncover its molecular mode of action by combination of novel approaches in molecular genetics, biochemistry, cell biology and structural biology. (2022-2026).

4

APVV-17-0570, The mechanism of positional signalling in plants – understanding of the DEK1 pathway. The project focuses on functional and structural analyses of the membrane protein DEFECTIVE KERNEL 1. DEK1 is an evolutionary conserved regulator of plant growth and development necessary for correct cell division and tissue specification during embryogenesis, vegetative growth and seed development. (2018-2022), participant.

5

VEGA 1/0745/20, Plant resistance induction against phytophagous sucking insects with non-toxic silicon. The goal of this project is to find out if silicon application can enhance the plant shoot defence against phytopathogenic insects either by specific

deposition of silicate aggregates or by metabolic changes in the plant shoots. (2020-2023), participant.
