The ASPB 2024 conference in Honolulu celebrated its centennial by bringing together over 1400 participants to discuss advancements in plant science, including machine learning, regenerative agriculture, and climate change, highlighted by workshops, poster sessions, and plenary talks on topics like FAIR data practices, genotype-phenotype connections, and sustainable food systems.
The Center for Sorghum Improvement (CSI) is hosting a virtual seminar given by Alexander Bucksch, Associate Professor in the School of Plant Sciences (SPLS) at the University of Arizona. on Tuesday, July 9 at 11 AM CT. The title of his talk is “Advances in root phenotyping reveal new functional and genetic insights from the cell to the population level.”
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is offering a course, “Programming for Biology,” from October 13-29, 2024. The class is designed for lab biologists with little or no programming experience and aims to give students the bioinformatics and scripting skills they need to derive biological insights from the abundance of data commonly encountered today.
Scientists from Saint Louis University, the USDA-ARS and the Chinese Academy of Sciences collaborated to develop a comprehensive transcriptomic atlas for sorghum, identifying housekeeping and tissue-specific genes and constructing co-expression networks to elucidate gene regulatory mechanisms and pathways, particularly in starch synthesis.
Jia et al. discuss the molecular mechanisms involving the YSL transporter gene SbYS1 and its upstream transcription factor SbWRKY72 in cadmium tolerance and accumulation in sweet sorghum.
This study elucidates the molecular function of the sorghum bHLH transcription factor SbMYC2 in enhancing drought tolerance through JA signaling, providing valuable insights for the development of drought-tolerant cereal crops.
