Photosynthesis and primary metabolism of higher plants are tightly regulated. Upon environmental changes, plants need to immediately adjust their metabolism in order to prevent chronic tissue damage and cell death. The study of metabolic regulation in changing environments is complicated by the high degree of compartmentalization of plant cells. In his porject, Jakob aims to quantify dynamics of subcellular metabolic networks under elevated CO2 (eCO2), applying a combination of subcellular fractionation, omics analysis and mathematical modeling. Further, the objective of his project is to quantitatively assess the role of three enzymes with differential subcellular localization to assess their role under such growth conditions.
