They will provide a glimpse into real biology so children (and adults) can see that while photosynthesis may be a familiar beginning,
plant biology research certainly goes much further than that.
Educate upcoming and new plant scientists about the importance of belonging to a professional society to enhance their career and be part of continuing the efforts
of plant biology research.
See the Grants & Funding section of the website to stay informed about select funding opportunities and provide background information on the key public and private agencies
supporting plant biology research and education.
The fundamental idea is very simple: to find cutting -
edge plant biology research projects, and transform the process, concepts or outcomes shared in these papers into a visually and mentally stimulating format that engages young readers.
In this session we will present advanced emerging technologies in current molecular and
cellular plant biology research such as new bioimaging methods and CRISPR / Cas - based genome editing.
So researchers at England's University of Nottingham, together with scientists from Tohoku University in Japan, set out to fill in some of the blanks by experimenting with Arabidopsis thaliana, a small plant that has become a popular model
for plant biology research.
In the new study, Dangl and colleagues delved more deeply into this relationship, using mutant versions of Arabidopsis thaliana, a weed that has long been the standard «lab rat»
of plant biology research.
