PhD Exit Seminar - TRUEE; a bioinformatic pipeline to define the functional microRNA targetome of plants »

3.30pm 1 July 2022
Gigi Wong
In plants, microRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs of approximately 20-24 nt in length which are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of genes controlling many fundamental biological pathways.

PS Seminar Series - When to open or close the door: exploring cell-to-cell communication via plasmodesmata closure in stress signalling »

3.30pm 8 July 2022
Dr Estee Tee, Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, John Innes Centre, UK
Cell-to-cell communication is essential for the co-ordination of responses in all multicellular organisms. One mechanism plants employ as defence against pathogens is restriction of cell-to-cell communication by plasmodesmata closure during infection.
