<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:105%">
Plants are sessile organisms and thus must acclimate to changes in their surrounding environment in order to survive. Plants first sense these changes through flux alterations in chloroplasts. A consequence of these alterations is the production of singlet
oxygen (1O2), which then elicits cellular changes. Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) have been shown to play a role in the molecular response to 1O2. Using a genetics approach, we have shown that sHSPs may protect chloroplastic proteins during medium to extreme
photooxidative stress. Knowing how individual chloroplasts communicate and mitigate stress can not only help us further understand interorganelle signaling, but can also provide insight into photosynthetic flux and thus further inform future crop engineering
and farming practices.<b> </b><o:p></o:p></p>

Marta was born in Warsaw, Poland and grew up in Warsaw and Bucharest, Romania. She completed her BSc in Biochemistry at the University of Edinburgh, where she worked on the Rubisco small subunits as a synthetic biology platform to improve photosynthesis. She
is an MSc student currently working in the Woodson lab on plastid localized small heat shock proteins and their involvement in singlet oxygen response and signaling. In her free time, she likes to travel, embroider, take photos of the wonderful Arizona scenery,
and spend time with her pet cockatiel, Bartek. <o:p></o:p></p>
