After a 10 year hiatus, the Genetics Society Arabidopsis Meeting is back with a two-day meeting on the 21st and 22nd of April, 2020 at the department of Biosciences at Durham University

On April 20th we have have added a FREE GARNet-supported hands-on workshop on rice transformation.

The lab-based workshop, led by rice transformation expert Dr Cunjin Zhang, will provide hands-on experience of aseptic technique, plant tissue culture, tissue sampling, explant preparation, and the generation of somatic embryogenic callus. Attendees will have the opportunity to practice (1) seed sterilisation (2) callus subculturing and (3) see a demonstration of culture inoculation and proper handling of Agrobacterium .


Programme Monday April 20th:
    1.00 – 1.15 pm : Welcome from Prof Ari Sadanandom
    1.15 – 2.00 pm : Introduction to transformation by Dr Cunjin Zhang
