Event information In collaboration with The University of Florida the ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success is coordinating a hybrid (in-person and online) symposium on November 6 and 7 in Gainesville, USA. The symposium will focus on a range of topics related to the study of Genotype by Environment by Management (GxExM) interactions and their importance for crop improvement.

Maddie James The role of chromosomal inversions during adaptation To understand adaptation at the genetic level, researchers typically focus on variation in single nucleotide polymorphisms or gene expression. However, other aspects of the genome also impact how species evolve. Chromosomal inversions, segments of the DNA that are flipped in orientation, can arise within a genome and are known to play

Tara Kemp Realizing partitions as latin squares and cubes A latin square of order n is a square array in which each of n symbols occurs exactly once in every row and column, similar to a Sudoku puzzle. L. Fuchs posed a question about the existence of quasigroups with disjoint subquasigroups and this problem is equivalent to the existence of

Event information Intellectual property has been protecting plants and seed in the United States since the 1930s. Over the last century, the reach of intellectual property over seeds and plants has consistently expanded. At the same time, there have been a number of international initiatives that have attempted to regulate how plants and seeds are used and exchanged. The result

Alicia Hellens Part 1- The transcription factor bZIP11 acts antagonistically with trehalose 6-phosphate to inhibit shoot branching The ontogenetic regulation of shoot branching allows plants to adjust their architecture in accordance with the environment. This process is due to the regulation of axillary bud outgrowth into branches, which can be induced by increasing sugar availability to the buds through decapitation
