Centre for Plant Success Webinar Series: Francois Barbier and Peter Crisp
ZoomFrancois Barbier A sugar signalling network controls shoot branching plasticity Shoot branching is an extremely plastic developmental process that enables plants to adjust their architecture to their environment. The control of this process is due to a complex regulatory network involving hormones, nutrients and metabolites. Sugar allocation to axillary buds is an important factor that determines the transition from dormancy

Centre for Plant Success Webinar Series: Maddie James
ZoomMaddie 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
