'' Auxin signaling: more than we could ever imagine '' Prof Jiri Friml Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) Klosterneuburg AUSTRIA Friday, October 14, 2022 14:00 The plant hormone auxin is a versatile intercellular signal influencing virtually all aspects of plant life. It has a unique ability to be directionally transported within tissues forming local auxin maxima or gradients that are central to many developmental processes mediated by auxin. One of the key roles of auxin is adaptation of plant growth to gravity, where shoots bend up and roots down. This paradox is based on opposite responses of these organs to the phytohormone auxin, which promotes cell expansion in shoots, while inhibiting it in roots via an unclear signalling pathway and yet unknown downstream cellular mechanism. The well-established canonical auxin signalling involving the TIR1/AFB auxin receptors, Aux/IAA repressors and ARF transcription factors acts in nucleus and mediates gene transcription. However, auxin also triggers cellular responses within seconds or minutes, too fast to rely on transcription. Part of the rapid responses is mediated by the non-transcriptional branch of the TIR1/AFB signalling, but others involve a yet completely unknown mechanism. Here Prof Jiri Friml will present new and surprising insights into the mechanism of auxin signalling including an ultrafast auxin-triggered protein phosphorylation response and previously unsuspected aspects of TIR1/AFB auxin perception and downstream signalling. Keywords : Auxin, Arabidopsis, root gravitropism, TIR1/AFB signalling Acknowledgements : Prof Jiri Friml gratefully acknowledges all present and past members of the Friml group and their excellent collaborators.

You are invited to attend “MicroRNAs in plants: biogenesis and roles in plant growth and development” ON September 26, 2022

You are receiving this e-mail because you subscribed to our seminars announcements and reminders service at [ https://maillist.psb.ugent.be/mailman/listinfo/seminars | https://maillist.psb.ugent.be/mailman/listinfo/seminars ] . '' MicroRNAs in plants: biogenesis and roles in plant growth and development '' Prof Javier Palatnik Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology of Rosario (IBR ) ARGENTINA Monday, September 26, 2022 11:00 MicroRNAs are essential endogenous regulators of gene expression in plants. They are generated from foldback precursors by the microprocessor, whose main component is DICER-LIKE1. The mature miRNAs of ~21 nt length are incorporated into ARGONAUTE complexes, which they then guide to target mRNAs that are subsequently cleaved or translationally arrested. In contrast to their stereotypical animal counterparts, plant microRNA precursors are very heterogeneous in size and shape. We have discovered that plant microRNAs can be generated by several different modes, explaining the variability of precursors that can generate these small RNAs. Many evolutionarily conserved plant microRNAs regulate transcription factors involved in plant development. MicroRNA miR396 regulates GROWTH-REGUALTING FACTORS (GRFs), which are plant-specific transcription factors. The microRNA miR396-GRF module has been implicated in the promotion of organ growth and as a regulator of crop yield. We have been studying the integration of the miR396 regulatory network in the developmental program of the plant. Interestingly, while miR396 regulates cell proliferation in leaves, in the root apical meristem it aids to control and maintain the stem cell population. A general view of the microRNA biogenesis pathway, as well as the roles of the miR396 regulatory network will be presented.

You are invited to attend Adrian Percy's seminar on May 16th
by Dirk Inze 16 May '22

16 May '22

Dear Colleagues, this is a warm welcome to attend the seminar of Adrian Percy on Monday May 16th. Adrian currently serves as the executive director of the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative (N.C. PSI): a world-class research and innovation effort that is poised to solve some of the world’s grandest agricultural issues. Previously he was the CTO of UPL Ltd and the head of research and development for the Crop Science division of Bayer as part of their executive committee. Our Center has a longstanding collaboration with the North Caroline State University. The VIB-UGent Center of Plant Systems Biology and N.C.PSI have agreed to join forces on selected research area's involving crops such as soybean. Much of the expertise of N.C. PSI is highly complementary to the expertise in our Center. The lecture will only take 30 min followed by Q&A. Highly recommended. " N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative: driving innovation in the plant sciences through interdisciplinary research and collaboration" Prof. Adrian Percy North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative Raleigh, North Carolina USA Monday, May 16 , 2022 11:00AM - Schell Seminar Room North Carolina State University has embarked on a visionary Plant Sciences Initiative (PSI) intended to directly address the grand challenges of agriculture and provide solutions for a growing world. The N.C. PSI will support wide-ranging research, education and training by creating an environment and culture in which such learning activities can thrive through the convergence of interdisciplinary collaboration. This new research and application ecosystem will combine world-class assets from across a wide spectrum of disciplines including plant sciences, engineering, economics, modeling, and data analytics. It will build partnerships among academia, industry, and government in collaboration with growers to maximize understanding of the challenges and opportunities, and ensure rapid delivery of solutions. Hope to see many of you.

REMINDER Van: "Delphine Verspeel" <delphine.verspeel(a)psb.vib-ugent.be> Aan: "meetings" <meetings(a)psb.vib-ugent.be> Verzonden: Dinsdag 15 maart 2022 11:32:13 Onderwerp: You are invited to attend “Deciphering the role of brassinosteroids in plant adaptation to climate change” ON March 30, 2022 You are receiving this e-mail because you subscribed to our seminars announcements and reminders service at [ https://maillist.psb.ugent.be/mailman/listinfo/seminars | https://maillist.psb.ugent.be/mailman/listinfo/seminars ] . ''Deciphering the role of brassinosteroids in plant adaptation to climate change'' Dr Ana Caño Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG) Barcelona SPAIN Wednesday, March 30, 2022 11:00 Despite the massive amount of information gathered around the functions and mechanisms of Brassinosteroids (BRs) in plants, an important limitation persists in our knowledge of this signaling pathway: almost all we know comes from observations on the BRI1 receptor pathway, that is essential for growth and development, and for which mutants are highly pleiotropic and typically dwarf. Since the discovery of BRI1-like receptors (BRL1/3) (1) , we still do not really grasp what are their fundamental functions in plants. Twenty years of research (by ours and other labs) have resumed the analysis of BRLs as redundant BRI1 receptors with a marginal vascular expression and lack of apparent mutant phenotypes. Strikingly, our work carried in the context of an ERC CoG “ICRICA” takes a novel perspective to explore the function of BRLs in Arabidopsis, to understand the inner working of this pathway. In light of our recent findings showing that overexpression of BRL3-receptors confers drought resistance, we have now deciphered the BRL3 pathway in Arabidopsis, including novel components in the pathway essential to plant adaption to climate change. Our new data not only change the paradigm for our present understanding of BR signaling in plants, but also open new and exciting avenues for engineering climate resilient crops. The latest results of our research will be presented at the VIB seminar.
