Title: SUMO conjugation in plants: mechanistic insights and biological implications

Abstract
Post-translational modification by SUMO is an essential process that has a major role in modulating plant development and stress responses. Such diverse biological functions are accompanied by functional diversification among the SUMO conjugation machinery components and regulatory mechanisms that has just started to be identified in plants. The research performed by my group has focused on the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms that mediate SUMO conjugation in vivo and their significance in plant development and responses to stress.
