E-Bulletin /  August 2016
Welcome to your August edition of the monthly Global Plant Council e-Bulletin! As the GPC is holding its Annual General Meeting in October, we’ve been starting to prepare our annual report. Updates from our Member Organizations have been flooding in, and it’s really heartening to read all about the great plant and crop science events and initiatives taking place all over the world. Don’t forget, if you have a plant science event, activity, job, student opportunity, or funding or award scheme that you’d like us to help promote, please just get in touch!  And if you’re looking for a conference to attend, a funding opportunity to apply for, policy documents to read or teaching resources to use, you can find lots of great information on our website, or of course by signing up for Plantae.org, the digital home for plant science on the web. If you’re looking for a new job in plant science, or a PhD position, try searching the hashtag #PlantSciJobs or #PlantSciPhD on Twitter or Facebook for the latest openings.

 

Latest News /  View more… If you have news you would like us to share on our website, please contact lisa@globalplantcouncil.org
This month 62 new breaking news stories were posted on the GPC website including…

In Journal of Experimental Botany: Drought Tolerance in Maize through Altered Root System Architecture JXB‘s Jonathan Ingram highlights a stand-out paper, and associated Insight article, that highlight why ‘steep, cheap and deep’ maize crown roots are best in drought conditions.  In New Phytologist: New Research Shows how Wine Gets its Nose French scientists have discovered a key enzyme that plays a leading role in the formation of the compounds that eventually give wines their sought-after aroma..  In New Phytologist: ‘Superstar’ rice reduces fertilizer loss and cuts pollution Agriculture is one of the biggest drivers of environmental pollution and climate change – yet research in New Phytologist reveals a ‘superstar’ rice variety that uses nitrogen more efficiently, thus reducing pollution caused by run-off.  Sunflowers are on the Clock UC Davis researchers can now explain how sunflowers turn their heads to the sun – it’s all associated with the circadian clock. Discovery in Wheat Turns Half a Century of Plant Biology on its Head Australian scientists have discovered that wheat seeds, as well as leaves, photosynthesize – and what’s more, despite wheat being a C3 plant, they express genes found in the C4 photosynthetic pathway.
