The latest GARNet Research Roundup includes two papers led by Cyril Zipfel from The Sainsbury lab, Norwich (who has since moved his lab to the University of Zurich). The first paper demonstrates the potential for cross-species strategies for developing disease resistance whilst the second is a phosphoproteomic dissection of the BAK1 immune co-receptor. Third is[…]
GARNet talked to Professor Ari Sadanandom from Durham University about a recent paper published in The Plant Cell entitled ‘SUMO Suppresses the Activity of the Jasmonic Acid Receptor CORONATINE INSENSITIVE 1‘ http://blog.garnetcommunity.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sadanandom_180903.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: iTunes | Android | RSS
This week’s GARNet research roundup highlights outstanding science from across the UK. First are a group of three papers led by researchers in Cambridge and Bristol that investigate the role of either sugar or calcium signaling on control of the plant circadian clock. Secondly is work from Durham that provides an elegant link between SUMOylation[…]
There are three papers in this week’s GARNet research roundup. The first paper is led by Jill Harrison’s lab in Bristol and she also provides an audio description of this work that has characterised a role for CLAVATA genes in the transition from 2D to 3D plant growth. The second paper from Ian Graham’s lab[…]
Jill Harrison discusses a recent Current Biology paper entitled ‘CLAVATA Was a Genetic Novelty for the Morphological Innovation of 3D Growth in Land Plants‘ http://blog.garnetcommunity.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Harrison_180806.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: iTunes | Android | RSS
This GARNet research roundup includes papers that feature a number of different research areas. Firstly is work from Glasgow that investigates the photoactivation of the UVR8 light receptor. Second is work from the University of Cambridge that links the activity of the BIG protein to the circadian oscillator. The next paper has co-authors from Cambridge[…]
The European Court GMO directive, published in 2001, makes it extremely challenging to have genetically modified (GM) crops approved for growth in EU member countries. The financial and time-costs required to develop these crop varieties mean that only one such crop, an insect resistant GM maize, is grown in small amounts in Spain. There is[…]
This week’s GARNet research roundup begins with a set of papers looking at aspects of the plant defence response with a focus on the cell wall. Firstly work from Mike Deeks’ lab in Exeter assesses the role of FORMIN4 during pre-invasion cell wall apposition. Secondly Sara Pose and Paul Knox (Leeds) are involved with a[…]
By Matthew Dale Rothamsted Research The Monogram meeting is an annual conference where people from all parts of the UK cereal and grass community come together to share the latest advances discovered by academic researchers. The meeting attracts the interest of industrial scientists and plant breeders who are keen to learn about the latest exciting[…]
Written by Marie-Anne Robertson and Andrew J. Millar, of the School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland. Plants make drastic changes to their biology to survive the changing seasons. Yet we know little about how they do this – despite the important clues it could give us on how plants adapt to harsh[…]
