SUMMARY:Genomics-assisted breeding for boosting crop and livestock improvement
DESCRIPTION:The current global challenges of the climate crisis require to quickly adapt our agricultural and livestock production systems to become environmentally and economically sustainable. Technological advances in sequencing and phenotyping and the development of new computational and statistical tools provide an opportunity to address the socio-economic and environmental challenges that agriculture is currently facing. However\, the implementation of the most promising and advanced technologies in current breeding programs is still insufficient\, and there is still large room for improvement. The aim of this conference is to present and discuss the current advances in genome assisted breeding and to shed light on the challenges that need to be addressed to ensure food security for the next decades. \nWe warmly invite you to be part of this exciting conference\, which will be held in the lively city of Barcelona\, Spain\, this coming Spring (May 10-11\, 2023). Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts for poster presentations. The number of participants will be limited\, therefore early registration is recommended. \nThe workshop will be held at CosmoCaixa\, a beautiful modernist building that is nowadays an interactive Science Museum.

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.

DESCRIPTION:Hybrid event hosted at Hilton York in York City Centre \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe concept of Regenerative Agriculture is successfully engaging the agricultural community\, food industry and policy makers to consider how to utilise agricultural land to maximise the delivery of ecosystem services. \nThere is no single definition of “regenerative agriculture”\, with interpretations varying between practitioners; but it can broadly be defined as “an approach to farming that uses soil conservation as the entry point to regenerate and contribute to the delivery of food production and other ecosystem services”. \nIn practice\, regenerative agriculture can be broken down into 5 key principles: 1) reduced soil disturbance; 2) retention of green cover; 3) retention of living roots in the soil; 4) crop diversification and 5) integration of livestock into rotations. \nIt is recognised that there is a need to bring together the scientific evidence supporting the implementation of regenerative agriculture\, to help evaluate the potential benefits and challenges for food production\, the environment and farm profitability\, across different agroclimatic zones and farming systems. This conference will bring together researchers\, consultants\, farmers\, agronomists and students to share research findings. \nWe invite abstracts that address the impact of regenerative farming on: soil\, water & air quality\, crop performance\, pest management\, farm economics and greenhouse gas balances & biodiversity and social barriers to uptake. Submitted abstracts can address either regenerative practices (e.g. crop residue retention\, cover crops or companion cropping\, reduced tillage\, use of organic manures\, diverse rotations)\, or whole system approaches (e.g. integrating livestock into rotations\, integrated pest management\, mob grazing or farm case studies). \nThe conference will include sessions on the above listed topics and subject area\, and will conclude with a panel discussion which we hope will include farming representatives. The objective of the panel discussion will be to challenge scientists to work with farmers\, in order to help develop the evidence base to support and justify the transition into regenerative agriculture. We hope that a position paper/statement can be generated from this discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSessions will be built around topics that are linked to the principles of regenerative agriculture. \n\nReducing soil disturbance\nRetaining green cover\nRetaining living roots\nDiversification of crops\nIntegrating livestock into crop rotations\n\nInvited speakers and Panel members \n\nLizzie Sagoo\, Soil Scientist\, ADAS Sustainable Agriculture Systems.\nAlastair Leake\, Director of Policy · The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust\nRuth Wade\, Research Fellow\, University of Leeds\nEmily Padfield\, Nuffield Scholar\nDavid Blacker\, Yorkshire Farmer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCall for Abstracts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe encourage submission of abstracts from all sectors interested in Regenerative Agriculture including those in academia\, policy\, farming or industry. We are very interested in promoting research on the impact of Regenerative Agriculture\nSessions will mostly be comprised of talks selected from submitted abstracts. Please submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation whether you will attend as an in-person or online delegate. \nAbstract submission deadline is February 15th 2023

SUMMARY:Phytohormones Congress - Metabolism and mode of action
DESCRIPTION:XVI Phytohormones Symposium: Metabolism and mode of action\, of the Spanish Society of Plant Biology  \nAfter a break due to the Covid19 pandemic\, the SEBP Phytohormones Group will hold its meeting this year\, 2023\, at the Convento de Mínimos de Segovia (Spain) from April 19 to 21.  \nSimilar to other years\, the format of the meeting will be 15-minute talks plus question time\, trying to ensure that most of the laboratories that attend have representation. We would also like to give visibility to the youngest in these talks.  \nThis year we want to launch a new poster presentation format\, which will be in a digital version. The posters will be uploaded to a cloud where researchers will have the opportunity to visit them. To do this\, you can use your own computers or tablets that we will make available to you. The poster will have a link email for further discussion if you want.  \nBoth the summary of the talks and the posters will be collected in a book that will only be online\, but will have an ISSBN number.

SUMMARY:The 19th International Workshop on Plant Membrane Biology
DESCRIPTION:Since 1968\, the International Workshop on Plant Membrane Biology (IWPMB) has provided a stimulating platform to discuss research advances related to plant membranes and to exchange new ideas. After much discussion among the Organizing Committee\, we have decided that the theme of the 19th conference will be on how membrane transport is integrated with signaling\, physiology\, biotic and abiotic stresses\, and development\, and what new technologies and systems approaches can be adopted to address new questions and challenges. \nThe meeting was originally scheduled to be held in October 2022\, but the global pandemic prompted us to postpone it to March 2023. In doing so\, we are pleased to be able to conduct in-person meetings and\, coincidentally\, March is a very pleasant time of year to visit Taiwan. The pandemic has forced isolation on us for some time and\, undoubtedly\, we are all eager to have this opportunity to meet colleagues with common interests and to have stimulating and fruitful discussions to drive our research forward. \nIn order to encourage early career PIs\, postdoctoral researchers and students to attend IWPMB\, we have allocated funding for fellowships to subsidize some of their travel costs. Accordingly\, when you register\, please indicate if you would like to be considered for the fellowship competition. \nTaipei is a fascinating city\, with a mix of modern and traditional elements\, and it is enriched with natural beauty\, historical temples\, and diverse dining experiences both in graceful restaurant atmospheres and in the vibrant night markets. The local Organizing Committee and I will do our very best to make this workshop a success and your stay here comfortable and enjoyable.

SUMMARY:The 64th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists
DESCRIPTION:In 2023\, the 64th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists (Sendai Annual Meeting) will be held as an in-person meeting. The previous three meetings\, in Osaka\, Matsue\, and Tsukuba\, could not be held in person\, so if it is held as planned\, it will be the first in-person annual meeting for four years. The pandemic has restricted many activities\, including research. On the other hand\, there has been a by-product in the dramatic development of online communication tools. The success of the Matsue and Tsukuba Annual Meetings\, which were held online\, showed us a new direction for the Annual Meetings. The Sendai Annual Meeting will therefore be a hybrid meeting that can also be attended online\, with the aim of ensuring that “no one is left behind”. \nTo the website: https://jspp.org/annualmeeting/64/e_greeting.php

SUMMARY:HortQFLNet_AAB Kick-off Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Over the past three years the UKRI-BBSRC funded HortQFLNetwork has acted as a collective voice for the UK horticultural and postharvest research community. The network has provided pump-priming funding for 20 projects and organisation of relevant events. The HortQFL network leadership is engaging in a new relationship with the Association of Applied Biologists in order to build-upon the excellent work of the network. The AAB will start a new specialist group in ‘Horticultural Quality and Food Loss’ which will lead to the organisation of activities and events in this important area to ensure scientists can continue to work together in pursuit of relevant Sustainable Development Goals. \nThe HortQFL network and the AAB are planning this event to celebrate the success of recently-funded research and to explore cutting edge opportunities to move the field forwards. We will hear from grant-awardees\, international keynote speakers and from a selection of speakers who have submitted abstracts to give an oral or a poster presentation. \nThis hybrid meeting is hosted at Cranfield University and is both the HortQFL Network annual meeting and the kick-off of the AAB ‘Horticultural Quality and Food Loss’ group. This is also the perfect follow-on from the 2022 AAB HortStresses meeting that was held at the University of Reading.

SUMMARY:Decolonising and Diversifying Biosciences Education
DESCRIPTION:There is an urgent need to re-consider this\, and to adopt a more diverse and decolonised approach. This meeting will examine how we teach the Biosciences through an equality and diversity lens. \nTopics will include the historical legacies of colonialism on the Biosciences\, the need to adopt more diverse and inclusive examples\, ableism within the curriculum\, awarding gaps for disadvantaged students\, and how Biology education can better incorporate international perspectives. \nThe meeting will also include student perspectives\, and the emotional implications of receiving a non-inclusive education. The meeting will encourage delegates to consider their own teaching practices\, and to identify ways in which they could become more inclusive. This meeting therefore aligns closely with both the ‘Teaching and Learning’ and ‘Equality\, Diversity and Inclusivity’ aims of the OED section.

SUMMARY:Machine learning in plant–pathogen interactions: empowering biological predictions from field scale to genome scale
DESCRIPTION:Machine learning (ML) encompasses statistical methods that learn to identify patterns in complex datasets. Here\, Jana reviews application areas in plant–pathogen interactions that have recently benefited from ML. She provides an under-the-hood glance into her developed suite of ML-based tools for pathogen effector prediction such as EffectorP. Jana will discuss common pitfalls and challenges she encountered during the development of ML approaches. Finally\, she will highlight future opportunities for ML as a tool for dissecting plant–pathogen interactions\, for example through integration of AlphaFold predictions or ML-driven effector gene annotation. \n—— \nJana is a bioinformatician interested in the interactions between plants and their pathogens. Her work involves using computational techniques to gain new insights into plant–pathogen relationships\, and her contribution includes widely used software tools for fungal effector prediction using machine learning. She completed a M.Sc. in Computer Science with a focus on Bioinformatics at the University of Freiburg\, Germany. In 2008\, she commenced a Ph.D. at the University of Western Australia in which she developed novel methods for the computational prediction of non-coding RNA structure. In 2012\, she joined CSIRO as a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on plant-pathogen interactions. In 2018\, she joined the Australian National University as a Research Fellow at the Biological Data Science Institute and was awarded a 2019 ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) to uncover how rust fungi cause devastating plant diseases. In 2021 she joined CSIRO as a Senior Research Scientist where she leads the Data Intensive Approaches team. Jana’s Tansley insight ‘Machine learning in plant–pathogen interactions: empowering biological predictions from field scale to genome scale’\, focuses on machine learning (ML) applications in areas in plant–pathogen interactions and highlights benefits and challenges in using ML approaches.

SUMMARY:Deciphering the fingerprint of disturbance on the three-dimensional structure of the world’s forests
DESCRIPTION:Canopy gaps and the processes that generate them play an integral role in shaping the structure and dynamics of forests. However\, it is only with recent advances in remote sensing technologies such as airborne laser scanning that studying canopy gaps at scale has become a reality. Consequently\, we still lack an understanding of how the size distribution and spatial organization of canopy gaps varies among forests ecosystems\, nor have we determined whether these emergent properties can be reconciled with existing theories of forest dynamics. Here\, I outline a roadmap for integrating remote sensing with field data and individual-based models to build a comprehensive picture of how environmental constraints and disturbance regimes shape the three-dimensional structure of the world’s forests. \n—— \nTommaso’s research focuses on the processes behind the structure and function of the world’s forests\, and how these might respond to rapid environmental change. Tommaso\, a NERC Independent Research Fellow and Lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol\, UK\, brings his ideas together in his Tansley insight\, ‘Deciphering the fingerprint of disturbance on the three-dimensional structure of the world’s forests’.

SUMMARY:Bringing Biocontrol and IPM to Market
DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade\, the AAB “Advances in Biocontrol and IPM” Conference has become a popular fixture in the national calendar of events. The overall objective has been to create an annual gathering of the IPM community at which policy makers\, experienced researchers\, early career scientists and practitioners can detach themselves from their usual day-to-day pressures and become totally immersed in this important subject. To broaden its appeal still further\, we will continue with a hybrid format to enable both in-person delegates at our regular conference venue and those who prefer to join us online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScientific Sessions\n1. New Solutions\nAim: To attract presentations on latest developments and novel Biocontrol/IPM approaches nearing completion or recently launched \nConfirmed speaker: Lauren Dipenbrock (University of Florida) \n2. Future proofing development of sustainable control – gap analysis and innovation\nAim: To identify forthcoming gaps/problems the industry will face in effective transition to IPM from conventional chemicals; “New” pests arising from the loss of conventional products; Novel innovations under research to address these issues. \n– Recognizing the potential that in some cases only early/incomplete datasets may be available for some studies\, and in others there may be a need for caution regarding how much information is released\, this session will include both full papers and short lightening talks as required. \nConfirmed speaker: Chris Wallwork (Agrii) \n3. Making it work in the field\n Aim: To encourage contributions from Growers/ Supermarkets. \nConfirmed speakers: Ron Stobart (Sainsburys)\, Andy Howard (Local Farmer): \n Session 4: Bringing certainty for business: Comparing/contrasting global legislation for Biocontrol & IPM\nAim: Compare different legislator approaches to consider best practice. It is hoped various industry sectors would be interested in the regulatory environment (uncertainty; small size/limited resources ….) \nConfirmed speakers: Roma Gwynn (Biorationale)\, Michael Braverman (Rutgers University\, IR4)

SUMMARY:A comparative analysis of policy options for dsi under the CBD: how do they measure up?
DESCRIPTION:A Webinar co-organised by the Global Plant Council\, the DSI Scientific Network\, the Global Genome Biodiversity Network and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture \nEstablishing and implementing an effective Post-2020 Framework for Biodiversity will not be possible without coming to an agreement on a solution for DSI that enables fair and equitable sharing of benefits while preserving open access in support of research\, biodiversity conservation\, food security\, and public health. The DSI Scientific Network\, the Global Plant Council\, the Global Genome Biodiversity Network and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture will host a joint webinar to discuss the implications of different policy options for a benefit sharing mechanism for DSI. Experts will share their views on the possible impacts of the proposed policy options\, highlighting where win-win solutions could be identified from a research perspective. Use of DSI underpins work in all fields of conservation biology and ecology\, plant and animal sciences\, as well as many domains beyond. Parties must find a way to ensure the benefits of this use are shared fairly and equitably. The ongoing biodiversity crisis demonstrates the urgent need for further research into how to address and reverse it\, which will depend on open access to DSI. \nAgenda and Panellists: \n\nAndrew Hufton\, Biotechnology Journal and Advanced Genetics\, Wiley – What do we mean by “open access”?\nManuela da Silva\, Fiocruz; David Nicholson\, Wellcome Sanger Institute – Overview of the CBD policy options matrix – how do they measure up?\nDerek Eaton\, Smart Prosperity Institute – Thinking through the economic implications of the policy options\nUnderstanding the use of DSI in research and the role of open access\no Sarah Hearne\, CIMMYT – The case of wheat and maize\no Christine Prat\, European Virus Archive – Using DSI for public health\nQ&A
