Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Monday, September 10 2012, 15:00 - 16:30 Event text: Dr Paul Berkman CSIRO Plant Industry Queensland Bioscience Precinct St. Lucia QLD AUSTRALIA Details: �Polyploid genomes: where are they and where are they going?� ABSTRACT Genome duplications are recognised as a key driver in evolution and are understood to have occurred in the history of nearly all flowering plants, providing a template from which greater adaptability can be established. While some polyploid species have developed stable inheritance patterns, as is the case in wheat and brassica, inheritance in other species such as sugarcane remains complicated. Recent developments in genomics and sequencing are enabling the investigation of polyploid evolution, particularly in stable polyploids. However many analysis frameworks still rely on methodology and statistics developed with diploid species in mind. I will present some of my work to develop new approaches to investigate the state of polyploid genomes, namely inheritance patterns in high ploidy species, and the principles acting in the process of diploidisation.

Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Thursday, September 6 2012, 14:00 - 15:30 Event text: Prof Alexander Vainstein Institute of Plant Sciences and Genetics in Agriculture The Robert H. Smith Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environment The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Rehovot Israel Details: POSTDOC INNOVATION SEMINAR �Permanent genome modifications in plant cells by transient viral vectors� ABSTRACT The ability to modify genome sequences in plant cells is fundamental to modern agriculture. Naturally occurring and artificial rare-cutting endonucleases (i.e. zinc finger nuclease, homing endonuclease or TAL effector nuclease) have been used for targeted mutagenesis in model and crop species. However, stable transformation is the preferred method for gene expression in plant species, and nuclease-expressing transgenic plants have been used for recovery of mutants that are likely to be classified as transgenic due to the use of direct gene-transfer methods into the target cells. We developed an alternative, non-transgenic approach for nuclease delivery and production of mutant plants using a novel Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based expression system for indirect transient delivery of nucleases into a variety of tissues and cells of intact plants. Since viral vectors can spread into the growing and developing tissues of infected plants, the novel approach of genome-editing provides a unique opportunity to bypass the regeneration step that is often required in direct gene-transfer methods.
