Hello everyone,

Just in time for the 19th ICAR: cross-species expression viewing at the
Bio-Array Resource (BAR)! We have precomputed all orthologs between poplar
and Arabidopsis using OrthoMCL. In the output eFP Browser page for a given
Arabidopsis gene, if there are poplar orthologs then links to a poplar
developmental series eFP Browser are provided, to help with the
identification of the corresponding poplar functional ortholog. We also
provide links to the sequence alignments between a given Arabidopsis gene
and its poplar ortholog(s).

The cross-species feature and the Poplar eFP Browser are available at
htpp://bar.utoronto.ca. The data for the Poplar eFP Browser come from Olivia
Wilkins in the Campbell Laboratory at the University of Toronto, and will be
the subject of a forthcoming publication. Thanks to Hardeep Nahal and Justin
Foong for implementing the Poplar eFP Browser.

Best regards and hope to see you in Montreal!

- Dynamics and spatial organization of vesicle trafficking and secretion in
plant cell morphogenesis -*

*The University of Montreal is among the top 100 universities worldwide. A
section of the Department of biological sciences is located in the Montreal
Botanical Garden at the Plant Biology Research Institute (Institut de
recherche en biologie végétale, IRBV). The Laboratory of plant cell biology
and cytomechanics is interested in the architecture and mechanics of plant
cell structure and the dynamics of plant cell morphogenesis. We use
microscopy, micro-manipulation and mechanical modeling to understand plant
cell functioning and the mechanics of cellular growth processes.

Plant cell morphogenesis requires the targeted transport of cell wall
polymers and secreted proteins to precisly defined regions on the cell
surface. In growing pollen tubes, this involves highly efficient...

Dear Cooleagues,
I have transgenic wheat plants in hand, varified by PCR. But I am disappointed that when I try its southren from genomic DNA, it never produce results. The southren of the PCR product of the same plants is positive but from genomic DNA, it is not. I am using Non-redioactive Chromogenic Detection kit (Fermentas) for southren. I restrict the genomic DNA with HindIII enzyme. I have also used almost 20 ug DNA in southren.
I am in trouble in this case. I have also performed the physiological assays of plants, and they are showing significantly different results from controll plants, (indicating the presence of gene presence).
Without doing southren I am not able to publish the rsults.
If someone can help me plz. contact met at shahzadbio@yahoo.com
thanks

Dear colleagues,

We invite you to participate in an upcoming conference in the field
of plant reproductive biology, "Frontiers in Sexual Plant
Reproduction III" (http://www.cals.arizona.edu/FSPRIII), that will be
held in Tucson, Arizona on October 17-19, 2008 in the Tucson Marriott
University Park.

Early bird registration closes on July 31, 2008. Please register on or
before this date to take advantage of low fees. The registration fees
for the three-day meeting includes food {Breakfast, 10/17 - 10/19;
lunch (10/17- 10/19) & dinner (10/17)}, transportation and visit to
desert museum on 10/18 and banquet dinner in desert museum on 10/18.

Participants are encouraged to submit an abstract and present a
poster. Three faculty judges will identify top three posters for a
cash award of $500 (first prize), $300 (second prize) and $200 (third
prize). The prizes will be announced and awarded during the conference
banquet dinner (October 18th, 2008).

Six major sessions have been planned for the conference:

hello anybody, i want to find a mutant which is insensitive to the
auxin(IAA or GA3),so i find the type called aux7,i want to know the
detail message about it ? thanks very much!

Please post this announcement.

Dear Plant Genomics Colleague:

The Plant Genome is an international open-access electronic journal published by the Crop Science Society of America. The goal of The Plant Genome is to provide the readership with a short submission-to-online publication of the latest advances and breakthroughs in plant genomics research.

The Plant Genome publishes original research investigating all aspects of plant genomics. Technical breakthroughs reporting improvements in the efficiency and speed of acquiring and interpreting plant genomics data are welcome. The editorial board will give preference to novel reports that use innovative genomic applications that advance our understanding of plant biology and that may have applications to crop improvement. The journal also publishes invited review articles and perspectives that offer insight and commentary on recent advances in genomics and their potential for agronomic improvement.

The first edition of the journal will be published on 23 July 2008.

For more information on The Plant Genome, including instructions to authors and the editorial board, please go to The Plant Genome<https://www.crops.org/genome/>.

Papers may be submitted through The Plant Genome's online submission website at:

http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/plantgenome.

We look forward to receiving your manuscripts for publication in The Plant Genome.

Sincerely,

David A. Somers
Editor

Please post the following job ad: thanks!

A full time postdoctoral associate position is available immediately
in the laboratory of Patricia Springer, Department of Botany and
Plant Sciences, University of California, Riverside. The successful
candidate will examine the role of individual members of the
LOB-Domain (LBD) family of transcription factors in Arabidopsis
development. This family of transcription factors has been
implicated in a number of different developmental processes in
plants, including the control of organ boundaries, adaxial-abaxial
organ polarity, lateral root initiation, gametophyte development, and
inflorescence branching. We seek to understand the functions of
additional genes in this family. For more information about the
available projects, contact Patricia Springer (pspringer@ucr.edu).

Hi, colleagues,

I want to know how to get the primary and secondary cell wall tissue from at plants less than one month old? Should I grow At plants to flowering before harvesting the secondary cell wall tissue such as stem?

Thanks for your reply.
