- Chiara Airoldi talks to GARNet by Geraint
Chiara Airoldi talks to GARNet about her recent paper published in Nature Plants entitled ‘TTG1 proteins regulate circadian activity as well as epidermal cell fate and pigmentation’. This work was conducted at the University of Cambridge in the labs of Beverly Glover and Alex Webb and brings together a fascinating evolutionary story of gene family[…]
- GARNet Research Roundup: No… by Geraint
This bumper edition of the GARNet Research Roundup begins with three papers that have a focus on the circadian clock. First is from Cambridge and looks at a novel role for TTG1 in control of the clock. The second paper also includes co-authors from Cambridge and looks at the clock Evening Complex. The final clock[…]
- 3D-RNA-seq Analysis Tool by Geraint
At the end of October GARNet hosted a workshop on the the 3d RNAseq App that has been developed by Wenbin Guo and Runxuan Zhang at the James Hutton Institute. Workshop schedule and attendees can be downloaded here (PDF). The 3D RNA-Seq Analysis Tool is designed for the comprehensive differential expression, alternative splicing analysis and[…]
- CONNECTED Vector-borne Plan… by Geraint
A group of African early career researchers feature in a new short film about vector-borne plant viruses that devastate crops in Sub-Saharan African countries. The seven-minute film focuses on the ground-breaking Virus-Vector Vice-Versa training course for early career researchers, run by the CONNECTED Network, which took place at The University of Bristol, UK, in summer[…]
- Waqas Khokhar talks to GARNet by Geraint
Waqas Khokhar from Canterbury Christ Church University in Kent talks to GARNet about a new publication in Frontiers in Plant Science on ‘Genome-Wide Identification of Splicing Quantitative Trait Loci (sQTLs) in Diverse Ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana‘. Waqas has produced a really exciting dataset that will be of great use to many other researchers! http://blog.garnetcommunity.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/191103_Khorkar-edited-04112019-12.24.mp3Podcast: Play[…]
- GARNet Research Roundup: No… by Geraint
This edition of the GARNet Research Roundup begins with a pan-UK study that has identified a gene involved in starch granule formation in polyploid wheat. Second is a study from Canterbury that identifies Arabidopsis QTLs involved in alternative splicing. Third is research from Cambridge that investigates the role of the nuclear circadian oscillator on sub-cellular[…]
- Steven Spoel talks to GARNet by Geraint
Steven Spoel discusses a recent paper published in Elife entitled ‘ Dynamic ubiquitination determines transcriptional activity of the plant immune coactivator NPR1‘. This paper characterises the molecular fine-tuning that controls the transcriptional outputs and degradation of the NPR1 protein, which is a key player in the plant immune response. Thanks to Steven for the really[…]
- Saskia Hogenhout talks to GARNet by Geraint
Saskia Hogenhout from the John Innes Centre discusses her labs recent paper in PLOS Pathogens titled ‘Phytoplasma SAP11 effector destabilization of TCP transcription factors differentially impact development and defence of Arabidopsis versus maize‘. We also briefly discuss her international collaborations working on Phytoplasma-Crop interactions. http://blog.garnetcommunity.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Hogenhout_191008-Edit-09102019-09.39.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: iTunes | Android |[…]
