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

SUMMARY:How will global change affect plant reproduction? A framework for mast seeding trends
DESCRIPTION:Forest ecology traditionally focuses on plant growth and survival\, leaving seed production as a major demographic process lacking a framework for how it will be affected by global change. Understanding plant reproductive responses to changing climate is complicated by masting\, the annually variable seed production synchronized within populations. Predicting trends in masting is crucial\, because masting impacts seed predation and pollination enough to override simple trends in mean seed production. Proximate mechanisms of seed production patterns in perennial plants are gathered to identify processes through which masting may be affected by a changing environment. Predicting trends in masting will require understanding the mechanisms that cause predictable seed failure after high-seed years\, and the stochastic mechanisms that synchronize individuals in high-seed years. \n—- \nMichal Bogdziewicz is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Environmental Biology\, Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU) in Poznan\, Poland. Michal’s research program involves several forest ecology subfields\, including interactions between plants and animals (both seed consumers and seed dispersers)\, and mechanisms driving variation in plant fecundity. A major focus of the work is to understand proximate and ultimate drivers of mast seeding\, socioecological consequences of pulsed reproduction\, and the climate change impacts on seed production and recruitment. \nMichal obtained his BSc in Biology (2010) and his MSc in Ecology (2012) from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan\, Poland. His PhD thesis was jointly supervised by Rafal Zwolak (AMU) and Elizabeth Crone (Tufts University\, MA\, USA). After completing his PhD\, Michal moved to Barcelona and undertook two postdoctoral positions at CREAF\, Autonomous University of Barcelona\, Spain. He is currently a Bekker Fellow at LESSEM\, at INRAE in Grenoble (France) where he works in the Mast Inference and Prediction (MASTIF) project led by James Clark (Duke University\, NC\, USA). Starting in 2023\, he will head the newly established\, ERC-funded\, Forest Biology Centre at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.

SUMMARY:Novelties\, Frauds\, and Protections: The Fruit Business in Ninteenth-Century America 
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Daniel Kevles\, Yale University​ \nIn the United States through the 1830s\, commercial fruit nurseries were few in number\, served largely local markets\, and\, facing little competition\, did little in their catalogues to differentiate and brand their products. Beginning in the 1820s\, the transportation revolution\, the migrations westward\, and the creation of relentlessly expanding markets steadily enlarged competition and put a premium on the innovation of novel fruits. Plants were not patentable at the time. Plant nurseries\, hitherto members of close-knit local communities\, had tended to rely on mutual trust to prevent the appropriation of their innovations. However\, operating in increasingly impersonal regional and national markets they sought to protect their investments in the creation or acquisition of novelties by branding their products. Still\, cheats could offer fraudulent or adulterated fruit trees or vines under the branded name\, and purchasers would be none the wiser because it was virtually impossible to tell simply by inspection what plant or plant quality young trees or vines would eventually produce. \nFrom the 1830s through the rest of the century\, purveyors of innovations developed a variety of strategies to protect their brands. The strategies were well exemplified by several prominent nurseries\, notably Ellwanger and Barry’s\, in Rochester\, New York; Charles Hovey’s\, in Cambridge\, Massachusetts; and Luther Burbank’s\, in Santa Rosa\, California. They emphasized in their catalogues the importance of purchasing only from reliable sources\, included testimonials from happy customers\, and provided lithographs – first black and white\, then in color – of their branded fruits. Still\, thieves of new fruit trees and vines could simply clone them and sell them under another brand name. In the face of that biological loophole\, their originators charged exceptionally high prices for first sales\, hoping therein to recoup the downstream revenues they would lose to appropriation. They also employed traveling salesmen to sell their trees and vines\, instructed them to gain trust by behaving in a moral\, upright manner\, and equipped them with sample books that presented in full color the fruits purchasers would get if they bought and planted the nursery’s trees and vines. By the late nineteenth century\, finding these protective strategies increasing inadequate\, nurserymen began agitating for national legal protection of their branded novelties through trademarks and patents. \nDate and time: 9 AM\, 18 October 2022 AEST (Time Converter for your location)\, 1 hour duration\nLocation: Online Lecture via Zoom \nGo check the People\, Plants and the Law Online Lecture Series

SUMMARY:Integrating plant physiology and community ecology across scales through trait-based models to predict drought mortality
DESCRIPTION:Forests are a critical carbon sink and widespread tree mortality resulting from climate-induced drought stress has the potential to alter forests from a carbon sink to a source\, causing a positive feedback on climate change. Process-based vegetation models aim to represent the current understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing plant physiological and ecological responses to climate. Yet model accuracy varies across scales\, and regional-scale model predictive skill is frequently poor when compared with observations of drought-driven mortality. Anna proposes a framework that leverages differences in model predictive skill across spatial scales\, mismatches between model predictions and observations\, and differences in the mechanisms included and absent across models to advance the understanding of the physiological and ecological processes driving observed patterns drought-driven mortality. \n— \nAnna T. Trugman is an ecologist with a multidisciplinary background in the Earth sciences. Her research interests are centred around understanding the Earth system consequences of plant physiological processes and ecological interactions\, particularly in water limited systems and novel climate conditions expected with anthropogenic climate change. Her research spans spatial scales from plant organs to the globe\, and utilizes techniques including ecological modelling\, field measurements\, and environmental data science. Anna received her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University (Stanford\, CA\, USA) in Geological and Environmental Sciences\, her PhD from Princeton University (Princeton\, NJ\, USA) in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences\, and spent two years at the University of Utah (Salt Lake City\, UT\, USA) in the Biology Department where she was awarded an independent United States Department of Agriculture Postdoctoral Fellowship for studying forest drought vulnerability with climate change. She has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at the University of California\, Santa Barbara (CA\, USA) since 2019.

SUMMARY:Regulatory Dynamics During Development and Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Symposium overview\nThe creation of novel organs\, the formation of diverse shapes and patterns within tissues or the ability of cells to deploy different responses to environmental cues all rely on the assembly\, rewiring and co-option of gene regulatory networks. We now know that complex behaviours can emerge from relatively simple networks. Reciprocally\, sophisticated regulatory networks can often generate stable and predictable outputs despite being intrinsically noisy. Technological advances and new model systems are enabling us to address previously unexplorable questions\, continuously modifying our understanding of the regulatory logic that underpins life. With SLS2022 we aim to bring together theoretical and experimental researchers from diverse disciplines using a broad range of species and approaches to investigate the regulatory dynamics contributing to the emergence of biodiversity. \nSymposium format: Hybrid\nThe 4th biennial Sainsbury Laboratory Symposium (#SLS22) will take place at the Sainsbury Laboratory\, Cambridge\, UK over three days (21-23 September 2022) and will be delivered in a hybrid format. Delegates may choose to attend in-person or online. \nThe Symposium will foster a dialogue between researchers working on regulatory dynamics from different fields across the plant and animal kingdoms and consist of talks\, poster sessions and daytime and evening social and networking events. \nOur goal is to create a welcoming\, safe\, collaborative\, inclusive and respectful symposium environment by promoting diversity of attendance and inclusivity of participation of underrepresented scientists. \nWebsite: https://www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/sainsbury_laboratory_symposium \n

SUMMARY:XVIII Brazilian Congress of Plant Physiology and I Ibero-latinamerica of Plant Biology
DESCRIPTION:Theme: “Plant Systems Biology: integrating scales and time”\n\n\nA remarkable characteristic of plants\, defining part of their own existence\, is the modular structure of their bodies. A module can be considered as a biological entity (an individual\, a structure\, a process\, or a pathway) characterized by more internal than external integration. Overall\, modules can be considered as the nodes of networks that are connected via the edges \n(different modes of short and long-distance signalling). In hierarchical systems (such as any biological multicellular organism)\, networks of finer scales can become nodes in networks of higher scales and so on. The response of a whole plant to its environment is the sum of all modular responses to their local conditions plus all interaction effects that are due to modules integration. The integration among different modules is engendered by a sophisticated system of signalling spreading chemical\, electrical and hydraulic information throughout the plant body. In other words\, the responses of plants to their environments are emergent properties; i.e. an inevitable self-organized unfolding of new functions and structures of a system onto a higher scalar integrative level. \nThis internal dynamic is underpinned by complex metabolic networks subject to rules of interactions. In complex systems\, such interactions are typically nonlinear processes based on negative and positive feedback loops. \nNegative feedback plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis of the system\, whereas positive feedback operates by propagating and amplifying signals throughout the system. Both processes work together in the formation and stabilization of new patterns of organization\, which makes the prediction of their global behaviour difficult. Such a dynamical process of organization operates throughout the different scales of the organization of the plants system\, producing emergent properties non-reducible to its components at smaller scales of organization. \n​ \nThe understanding of such complexity has been improved by the exponential development of high-throughput technologies in the last decades\, uncovering the complexity of the organizational network patterns in the cell’s metabolism to the plant phenome\, thus creating the modern science of systems biology. Furthermore\, the huge data sets and growing computational power have stimulated scientists to uncover how plants respond to the environmental changes\, and how such knowledge could engender new technologies\, for instance\, to increase crop yields. Through these technologies\, researchers are describing deeply the different hierarchical levels of plant organization\, improving the possibility to predict the behaviour of the whole plant (phenome) based on extensive analysis of gene expression (genome and transcriptome) \nand/or metabolic networks (metabolome) to monitor and to manipulate cellular responses to genetic perturbation or environmental changes. However\, different constrains can make this predictability difficult\, challenging the bottom-up \ncause-effect approach that underpins the deterministic view of science based on an upward chain of causality. Thus\, a main question is how to integrate\, on one hand\, the massive datasets from molecular high-throughput technologies and\, on the other hand\, the growing high-throughput information on the crop scale\, i.e. plant phenomics\, which is a typical problem of finding a proper general scaling law. \nThe importance of studying integration of different levels of biological organization relies on an ontological base: 1- spatial and temporal patterns are dependent on the scale of analysis\, 2- there is more than one characteristic scale for the research\, 3- experimental results cannot be directly transferred to larger scales\, 4- biological interactions with the environment occur in multiple scales\, and 5- environmental problems are created by the propagation of effects on different scales in the biosystem. \n​Therefore\, the main objective of XVIII Brazilian Congress of Plant Physiology\, to be held in Porto Alegre – RS in September 2022\, is to expose the imbricate complexity of plants\, especially when embedded in a changing environment\, and to discuss the possibilities to integrate different scales of observation taking into account the temporal dynamic of the different levels of organization.

SUMMARY:Shaping the Future for Pollinators - Innovations in Farmed Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:The Association of Applied Biologists  (AAB) has teamed up with the British Ecological Society and the Royal Entomological Society  to deliver a  3-day conference “Shaping the Future for Pollinators: Innovations in  Farmed Landscapes”. \nPollinators play a vital role in maintaining both semi-natural and agricultural ecosystems and healthy populations bolster food security\, livelihoods and social wellbeing. With evidence that  many species of pollinators are in decline\, their conservation and  management is of great public\, economic and political interest. As a result\, the ecology and conservation of managed and wild pollinators is a  rapidly growing field of research\, alongside the study of their  associated ecosystem services. \nThis  conference aims to determine how we can shape farmed landscapes to make them resilient to future challenges such as climate change. Delegates will explore the impact of agricultural practices at the farm and landscape scale on pollinator behaviour\, ecology and the delivery of ecosystem services. Talks and discussions not only to share current best  practices on the sustainable management of pollination services\, but  explore how novel innovations can create new opportunities and address  future risks. This conference aims to bring together researchers\,  practitioners and policymakers to debate recent advancements in the  field of pollinator research; and also to go beyond ecological research  to explore emerging technologies within the field. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe host hotel is in Slough/Windsor which is just 15 minutes by train from London Paddington. \nExcitingly we will include a scientific session at the worlds foremost botanical garden at Kew Gardens alongside a public ‘Mythbusting’ event at Kew. This aims will held locally to raise awareness and increase public understanding of pollinators and pollination services.
