[Concurrent 30] Living on the edge: Adaptation of Arabidopsis extremophyte relatives to harsh environments

Extremophytes, plants that inhabit harsh environments, represent novel genetic resources underexplored for their adaptations to multiple environmental stresses. Specifically, extremophytes that are closely related to Arabidopsis are ideal models for comparative multi-level analyses. This session will focus on systems biology research of Arabidopsis extremophyte relatives from physiological through molecular, “omics”, evolutionary, and ecological studies to elucidate mechanisms allowing these intriguing plants to survive the most extreme environments on the planet.

[Concurrent 31] Short and long range signaling by RNA

Plant development, physiology and defense are controlled by several classes of mobile RNAs that move both cell-to-cell, through plasmodesmata, and into the phloem for systemic movement. Mobile mRNAs control meristem, leaf and tuber development, among other processes. Small RNA silencing signals and miRNAs also move systemically through plasmodesmata and the phloem, for example, to control nutrient homeostasis. The workshop will present new findings in this exciting emerging area of plant biology research.

[Concurrent 32] Mechanisms and functions of endocytosis in plants

Plant endocytosis underlies a plethora of biological processes including nutrient uptake, signal transduction, development, polarity and tropic growth, immunity and responses to abiotic stress. However, the molecular machinery of endocytosis, its regulation and exact biological impacts are only beginning to be understood in plants. This session will cover the following topics (1) Molecular mechanisms of endocytosis in plants; (2) Endocytosis and plant polarity, development and nutrient uptake; (3) Endocytosis and plant-pathogen interactions; (4) Endocytosis and cell wall biogenesis; (5) Crosstalk between endocytosis, exocytosis and autophagy

This session is sponsored by MEXT Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas "Periodicity and Its Modulation in Plants".

[Concurrent 33] Front-line of plant genome engineering

Genome engineering are revolutionizing life sciences and plant biotechnology that seek to develop new technologies for the precise manipulation of genes and genomes in vivo. In addition to its use for advancing our understanding of basic biology, genome engineering has numerous applications for improving agronomically traits. In this session, we will present and discuss recent advances in nuclear and organelle genome engineering approaches, novel tools and delivery system.
