SUMMARY:Legumes Science and Practice 3
DESCRIPTION:Visit Event Website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgriculture is faced with the challenges of reducing its impact on the environment\, adapting to the changing climate\, and supporting biodiversity. UK agriculture relies heavily on imported protein for feed and home-grown legumes would help to reduce this dependence. Dietary change towards flexitarian/plant-based diets also creates a growing market for grain legumes for direct human consumption/processing for food. Grain and forage legumes have the potential to play a significant role either grown as sole crops\, intercrops or mixtures in addressing the above challenges. \nThe inclusion of legumes in cropping systems enhances soil nitrogen levels\, reducing fertiliser requirements and GHG emissions. The diverse range of leguminous forage and grain species provides opportunities for agriculture to grow a wider range of crops that are capable of coping with more extreme weather. Legumes also provide a resource for pollinators and birds and promote soil biodiversity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe meeting will begin mid-morning of June 3rd and conclude mid-afternoon on June 4th. We will host an evening poster session and drink reception on the evening of June 3rd\, followed by a conference dinner (to be optionally booked). During the meeting (time TBC) we will arrange a visit to the University of Reading farm. Close to the event we will recommend the type of footwear required for this visit. \nProposed Meeting Sessions:\n– Intercropping \n– Grain legumes – challenges and opportunities \n– Forage legumes – challenges and opportunities \n– IntercropValues: Confirmed invited speaker: Kato Van Ruymbeke\, KU Leuven\, Belgium \n– Future Proteins: Confirmed invited speaker: Josiah Meldrum\, Hodemedods\, UK \n\nAbstract Submission\nWe encourage abstract submissions from anyone working in these broad research areas. Importantly there will be plenty of opportunities for early career professionals to present provide an oral or poster presentation. Oral presenters will also be able to bring a poster while poster presenters will be invited to provide a short introduction to their work ahead of the poster session. \nAbstract submission deadline for Oral and Poster presentations: March 7th. \nWe aim to publish a draft schedule by April 1st. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial Issue of Annals of Applied Biology\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo coincide with the meeting we will organise a special issue of Annals of Applied Biology entitled ‘Legumes in Science and Practice‘. Annals is 100% owned by the AAB so publication in this society-owned journal contributes to future AAB activities. We welcome submission of original articles\, reviews or Forum/comment pieces. The guest editors for the special issue will be Dr Emily Guest and Dr Charlotte White.

SUMMARY:CO2 Assimilation in Plants from Genome to Biome: Probing Mechanisms Across Scales
DESCRIPTION:This conference will feature research presentations across biological scales\, from molecules to the globe. The process of photosynthesis underpins life on our planet – from food production to climate regulation. \nThe CO2 Assimilation in Plants from Genome to Biome GRC is a premier\, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research\, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide\, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities\, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks\, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages\, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field. \nThe Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on CO2 Assimilation in Plants: Probing Mechanisms Across Scales will feature research presentations across biological scales\, from molecules to the globe. The process of photosynthesis underpins life on our planet – from food production to climate regulation. Improving our understanding of the process is foundational to ensuring future food supply and mitigating climate change. Photosynthesis is a fascinating process for a broad range of scientists. It serves as a model system for the application of synthetic biology and genetic engineering\, and C4 and CAM photosynthesis are brilliant evolutionary examples of convergent evolution. Mathematical modeling has enhanced our understanding of photosynthesis for many decades\, while current advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence are enhancing our capabilities to sense photosynthesis remotely and re-engineer the biochemistry of CO2 assimilation. The subtheme for the 2025 GRC and GRS\, “Probing Mechanisms Across Scales”\, was chosen to engage photosynthesis scientists who work across disciplinary boundaries and biological scales.\nApplications for this meeting must be submitted by May 11\, 2025. \nClick here to more info

SUMMARY:International Conference on Arabidopsis Research: ICAR2025
DESCRIPTION:The International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) is an annual  gathering of up to 1000 scientists whose primary research organism is  the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This meeting embraces the remarkable contribution that Arabidopsis has made to our understanding of plant science. \nICAR2025 takes place at the Bijloke Gent Music Centre in Gent\, Belgium. \nMore info: https://web.cvent.com/event/4488106e-d2ff-46ac-b6c7-986d68a05129/summary

SUMMARY:SPS Summer School 2025: Advanced Plant Imaging – From super-resolution to fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy
DESCRIPTION:This Summer school is organized by the Saclay Plant Sciences (SPS) network\, one of the largest European plant sciences communities and will be hosted by the cytology and imaging platform of the Institut Jean Pierre Bourgin – Plant Sciences in Versailles. \nMicroscopy is a fundamental tool for understanding the functioning of plants at the cellular to molecular scale. Recent technological advances (super-resolution\, fluorescence lifetime imaging\, biosensors…) now make it possible to address new scientific questions. This Summer School will provide theoretical and practical insights into these aspects for 20 outstanding and enthusiastic PhD students or young postdoctoral researchers divided in small groups. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different modalities\, sample preparation\, image acquisition\, and data processing throughout the week. \nTo register: https://eng-saclay-plant-sciences.hub.inrae.fr/teaching-and-training/summer-schools/summer-school-2025
