PS Seminar Series: The Australian Plant Phenomics Network – your partner for Plant Phenotyping »
The Australian Plant Phenomics Network (APPN, formerly known as APPF) is comprised of nine institutions offering controlled-environment phenotyping facilities, mobile phenotyping units, and field sites strategically spread across Australia’s diverse climate zones.
PS Seminar Series - Photosynthesis promotes pre-protein processing of chloroplast SEC and TAT cargoes »
Results show that the processing of a specific module of Photosystem-associated proteins and concomitantly progression of chloroplast biogenesis depend on active photosynthesis early in plant development.
PS Seminar Series - Nocturnal warming and physiological acclimation in crops: lessons from a 100+ years of Australian wheat »
Global increases in mean minimum temperature (i.e. night temperature) is associated with significant crop yield losses.
PS Seminar Series: Targets of powdery mildew avirulence effectors in barley »
Blumeria hordei (Bh) causes the powdery mildew disease of barley. In resistant barley lines, the RNase-like Bh AVRA effectors are recognized by immune receptors encoded at the barley Mildew locus a (Mla).
PS Seminar Series - How will plants adapt to a high CO2 world? »
In this talk I will discuss our progress in understanding the impact of eCO2 concentrations on a forest ecosystem using data from the Free-Air Carbon dioxide Enrichment (FACE) site at the Birmingham Institute for Forest Research (BIFoR), and show some recent data of the effects on the nutritional status of seed.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Evaluating plant-pathogen interactions in classical biological control of weeds: Kordyana brasiliensis released against...
Classical weed biocontrol refers to the deliberate introduction of co-evolved host-specific natural enemy of a weed.
PS Seminar Series - Development of Indigenous Indonesian pigmented rice as functional food to support food security amid global climate change ...
Plant biotechnology has become an essential tool in the effort to enhance global food security. Faced with challenges such as a growing population, climate change, and land degradation, plant biotechnology plays a crucial role in improving food production, quality, and agricultural sustainability.
E&E Seminar: Integrative food-web research across scales »
In nature, organisms do not exist in isolation. They interact with surrounding biotic and abiotic components to form complex ecological networks, such as food webs. It is the states and dynamics of these networks that then foster biodiversity at the community level or beyond.
E&E PhD Exit Seminar: Gaining information about danger in a challenging world »
Information about danger is vital for wildlife, yet can be difficult to gain in complex environments. Anthropogenic and other noise can disrupt acoustic communication, and predators may be visually hidden in cluttered environments.
PS Seminar Series: Turbulence and the Atmospheric Environment of Plants »
Plants have co-evolved with the atmosphere and the climate and play essential roles in the global hydrological and carbon cycles.
