A pair of Plant Cell papers that illuminate phytochrome structure carpel evolution

A pair of Plant Cell papers that illuminate phytochrome structure carpel evolution | GARNet Plant Science Community | Scoop.it
- August 2, 2012 9:22 AM

Here are two brand new papers from Plant Cell that illuminate phytochrome structure and the role of light signaling on carpel evolution.

 

Arabidopsis Phytochrome A Is Modularly Structured to Integrate the Multiple Features That Are Required for a Highly Sensitized Phytochrome (http://www.plantcell.org/content/early/2012/07/25/tpc.111.094201.abstract)

and

A Light-Regulated Genetic Module Was Recruited to Carpel Development in Arabidopsis following a Structural Change to SPATULA (http://www.plantcell.org/content/early/2012/07/31/tpc.112.097915.abstract)

Storify: Tweets from FESPB-EPSO Plant Congress 2012 (and Freiburg photos)

From storify.com - August 7, 2012 5:25 AM
How will plant biodiversity deal increasing CO2? How can plants help us to deal with global problems such as energy production and malnutrition? During the FESPB-EPSO Plant Congress 2012 in Freiburg these questions and more were tackled.

 

Here is a tweetstream from the conference. http://storify.com/rbastow/epso-fespb-plant-congres-2012

 

You can download the conference schedule here: http://www.plant-biology-congress2012.de/programme/

 

Teaching Tools in Plant Biology artist in residence Tom Donald spent the week photographing Freiburg, including the stained glass inside the Freiburg Munster. See if you you recognize any of these sights:

Freiburg is a beautiful city and we thank the university, staff and students for hosting this inspring conference.
