Seminar Nicola Patron (Earlham Institute, United Kingdom) 5th November 12:30

“Recoding Regulation – Synthetic Expansions of Plant Metabolism” Plants evolved regulatory networks to coordinate complex chemical defences as well as changes to their growth and development to help them survive in an ever-shifting environment that they cannot simply walk away from. Working towards the long-term goals of manipulating plant responses through the rational engineering of […]

Seminar John Bowman (Monash University, Melbourne, Australia) 22nd October 12:30

“Why all eukaryotes have homeodomain genes; a view from land plants”   One innovation of eukaryotes is sex, which establishes a life cycle alternating between haploid (one set of chromosomes) and diploid (two sets) phases. The transition from haploid to diploid is via fertilization while that from diploid to haploid is via meiosis. In several […]
