Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Friday, February 26 2010, 14:00 - 15:30 Event text: Joachim Jacob St�phane Plaisance BITS VIB Bioinformatics Training and Service Facility Details: "The VIB BITS facility, your guide in bioinformatic analyses" Presentation by Joachim Jacob and St�phane Plaisance Within the fast evolving discipline of biotechnology emerges a broad need for understanding and managing vast amounts of data. This data can be your sequencing data, your microarray data, your mass-spec data. But it involves also efficiently mining literature sources and the numerous online repositories. Let BITS be your guide in this bewildering maze of bioinformatics! The VIB Bioinformatics and Training Service facility assist all VIB scientists in efficient access and use of relevant software. We have licensed several software packages which are available to the whole VIB community. The BITS training service offer several training sessions, aimed at the wet-lab scientist, starting from low-level training sessions, such as �Bioinformatics introduction training� and �Basic Vector NTI training�, to advanced courses, such as �Advanced Microarray data analysis� and several programming language training sessions. Training material will be continuously available at our website, so you can always fall back on our online expertise. In addition, you can contact BITS data mining service for custom data mining of your high-throughput data. During this short seminar, we will present the training courses scheme for 2010. We will also give a short demonstration of plant-oriented data mining cases. And most importantly, at the end of the seminar, you will have the opportunity to suggest us new training sessions and to let us know with which data you struggle. As such, BITS can meet your future training and data mining needs! An overview of our services and software offered by BITS can be obtained through our website, www.bits.vib.be. Check out our training poll! Hope to see you soon, on our training sessions or online! The BITS team

Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Thursday, January 28 2010, 11:00 - 12:30 Event text: Dr Lars �stergaard John Innes Centre Norwich UK Details: "Cell fate specification guided by hormonal and genetic interplay during fruit development" ABSTRACT Mobile signals provided by hormones and morphogens are essential to organise multicellular structures. Despite detailed knowledge on the dynamics of specific hormones in specific cellular environments, not much is known about the interactions between hormonal and genetic events that lead to proper organ formation. The Arabidopsis fruit provides an outstanding model system to study organ patterning and cell differentiation with dramatically different cell types located immediately next to each other. Work on Arabidopsis fruit development has been impressively successful in identifying key genetic regulators; however, the data clearly indicate that in order to get an integrated view of fruit patterning, it is necessary to understand the role of hormones in the process. We use Arabidopsis and Brassica fruits as models to study how genetic and hormonal activities interact to form a complex organ. Results will be presented on the importance of both local hormone biosynthesis and distribution, on communication between tissues to coordinate growth and how these processes are controlled. A high-definition map of hormone distribution during fruit development is currently under construction. This map will be used to construct a mathematical model of fruit development, which is likely to provide exciting new insight into how hormones control organ growth and development.

Calendar Name: seminars Scheduled for: Monday, January 18 2010, 11:00 - 12:30 Event text: Prof Filip Rolland Laboratory of Functional Biology Plant Metabolic Signaling group Institute of Botany and Microbiology, K.U.Leuven BELGIUM Details: "Sensing and signaling plant carbon and energy status" ABSTRACT Plants are constantly challenged by changes in their environment that affect photosynthesis, respiration and carbon allocation and by a changing tissue- and developmental stage-dependent physiology during development. Therefore, they have evolved mechanisms to constantly monitor their metabolic status and adjust their growth accordingly. The KIN10/11 SnRK1 protein kinases, for example, function as conserved �fuel gauges� that trigger extensive metabolic reprogramming upon carbon and energy depletion, in part through a network of bZIP transcription factors. SnRK1 activity is controlled by the micromolar levels of trehalose-6-P (T6P), the metabolic intermediate of trehalose metabolism. While Arabidopsis does not accumulate this disaccharide, its genome encodes a large family of T6P synthase (TPS)-like and T6P phosphatase (TPP) proteins. Yeast functional complementation studies, however, suggest that most of the TPS-like proteins are catalytically inactive and expression studies reveal extensive regulation at the transcriptional level. Therefore, they might function as metabolic sensors of plant carbon status.
