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.
