Title: "eHALOPH and the evolution of salt tolerance in plants" Please e-mail IIGBadmin@ucr.edu for zoom link. Host: Katie Dehesh Abstract: The earth has an abundant supply of water, but unfortunately for most plant species, most of this water contains a lethal concoction of salts. How is it, then, that most plants cannot tolerate seawater? Apart [...]
Title: "Mechanisms of aging: From inter-organ communication to inter-organelle cross-talk" Please e-mail IIGBadmin@ucr.edu for zoom link. Host: Naoki Yamanaka Abstract: Inter-organ and inter-organelle communication plays important role in cellular and tissue homeostasis. In this talk, I will present our recent and unpublished work on the novel roles of peroxisome in liver-heart communication and mitochondrial dynamics [...]
Title: "Genome resolved metagenomics reveals role of iron metabolism in regulation of plant microbiome response to drought stress" Please e-mail IIGBadmin@ucr.edu for zoom link. Host: Julia Bailey-Serres Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that drought leads to dramatic shifts in the partnerships plants have with the microbial world. These changes appear highly conserved across a broad [...]
Title: "Integrating time into transcriptional networks for pattern discovery" For Zoom Link, please e-mail IIGBadmin@ucr.edu Host: Dawn Nagel Abstract: The genus Brassica contains crops with leaf, flower and root vegetables for consumption, oil production, and fodder. B. rapa captures much of this diversity in one species with Chinese cabbage, pak choi, oilseed, turnip and leafy [...]

Title: "How biotrophic fungi infect plants: unexpected insights from essential effectors" Host: Hailing Jin Zoom Meeting ID: 929 1247 4758 Passcode: 644865 Abstract: Ustilago maydis is a biotrophic fungal pathogen causing smut disease in its host plant maize. During colonization, U. maydis secretes effector proteins to suppress plant defense responses and manipulate the physiology of [...]
