SUMMARY:Plant life at the extremes in the Atacama Desert - by Prof. Rodrigo Gutierrez
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rodrigo Gutierrez\n\nFull Professor at the Faculty of Biological Sciences\, \nPontificia Universidad Católica de Chile \n– Hosted by Professor Monika Chodasiewicz and Professor Heribert Hirt\n\nIf you are unable to attend in person at KAUST\, you can follow the seminar on Zoom.\n\n\nAbstract\n\nThroughout evolution\, plants adapted to flourish in a variety of ecosystems\, including extreme deserts. In the current changing climate scenario\, it is essential to identify the underlying molecular mechanisms that enable plant resilience under extreme conditions. We characterized three extreme ecosystems along a natural altitudinal gradient of environmental parameters on the western slopes of the Andes in the Atacama Desert. Using phylogenomics and metabolomics approaches\, we identified genes and metabolites involved in developmental\, regulatory and metabolic processes associated with environmental adaptation. Our study provides new insights into plant abiotic stress tolerance\, and improves our understanding of the highly unique\, pristine Atacama Desert ecosystem.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nProfessor Rodrigo Gutierrez is a Full Professor and current Director for Research and Planning at the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Deputy Director of the Millennium Institute for Integrative Biology\, Principal Investigator at the Center for Genome Regulation and Investigator at the Ecology and Biodiversity Institute. He received multiple awards and honors during his career\, including the Howard Hughes Medical Institute International Early Career Scientist award\, John A. Boezi Memorial Alumnus Award from Michigan State University and the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He is one of the founders of the Chilean Society of Plant Biologists and its first elected president.

SUMMARY:EPI-CATCH Conference 2023 ECIMA: Epigenetics in Crop Improvement\,  from Mechanisms to Applications
DESCRIPTION:The third conference on “Epigenetic Mechanisms of Crop Adaptation to Climate Change” (EPI-CATCH) will be held in a hybrid format\, physically at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences “Prof. Marin Drinov” Hall in Sofia\, Bulgaria\, and on-line\, from May 30th to June 1th 2023.\nEPI-CATCH (CA19125) is a COST action that aims to define\, develop\, generate and share new breaking knowledge and methodologies for the investigation of epigenetic mechanisms modulating plant adaptation to environmental stresses driven by climate change.\nThe EPI-CATCH conference will include three topics\, according to the three working groups (WG) of the EPI-CATCH consortium: \nWG1: Plant epigenetic responses to environmental stresses\nWG2: Biotechnological approaches to study plant adaptation to climate change\nWG3: Advances and approaches in plant epigenetics for crop improvement \nThe conference will promote interactions among speakers\, poster presenters and participants that are experts and newcomers in the field of plant epigenetics as well as early career researchers from diverse geographical\, cultural and scientific backgrounds.\nThe registration to this meeting is free\, registration deadline is May 23rd\, 2023.\nAbstract submission deadline is  March 30th 2023. \nTo register: https://61e6e24bcea16.site123.me/ \nFor more information on the COST action please visit their website:\nhttps://www.cost.eu/actions/CA19125/#tabs|Name:overview
