Phyoten blog, call for New Phytologist Tansley Medal (early career researcher) and GPC e-bulletin for September

14 October 2016

Your membership is paid to [wpmlfield name=”paidtodate”] (year, month, day).

See John Evans speaking at the opening of the LT Evans Plant Growth Facility at the International Rice Research Institute, Philippines in our latest Phytogen blog post

Calling all early-stage career scientists!

 The New Phytologist Tansley Medal is awarded annually in recognition of an outstanding contribution to plant science by an early career researcher (student and post-doctoral researchers with up to five years’ experience since gaining/defending their PhD are eligible). The winner will receive a prize of £2000 (GBP) and will author a Tansley insight review that will be published in New Phytologist, accompanied by an Editorial announcing the winner and finalists. The application deadline for this year’s competition is 30 November 2016.

 The Tansley Medal is an opportunity to recognise an outstanding scientist in the early stages of his or her career, and supporting the next generation of plant scientists is a core aspect of the activities of the New Phytologist Trust. I would be very grateful if you would support us in this endeavour by spreading the word to anyone you know who might be eligible to apply for the 2017 Tansley Medal. If you have any queries regarding the medal or the submission process please do not hesitate to get in touch. More details on the Tansley Medal can be found at: http://www.newphytologist.org/tansleymedal.

E-Bulletin / 
September 2016
Yes, we know it’s already October…apologies that your September edition of the Global Plant Council’s monthly e-Bulletin is a little late! The GPC team has been busy travelling in recent days and weeks, and this email comes to you from sunny Brisbane, Australia, where we’ve just had a great week at the ComBio 2016 conference, and held our Annual General Meeting! We’ll tell you more about our trip when we get back to GPC HQ, but in the meantime, welcome to any new subscribers!

The GPC’s e-Bulletin is a monthly round-up of the latest plant science news, events, reports, funding opportunities and blog posts from the GPC community. If you have anything you would like us to help promote then please do get in touch! Contact Lisa, GPC’s Outreach & Communications Manager: lisa@globalplantcouncil.org.

This month 60 new breaking news stories were posted on the GPC website including…

In Current Plant Biology: Microbes help plants survive in severe drought
University of Washington (USA) research finds that plants can better tolerate drought and other stressors with the help of natural microbes. 

In New Phytologist: Plant diversity alleviates the effects of flooding on crops
New research shows that, in grasslands, growing mixtures of plants with higher diversity can help to alleviate the negative impacts of flooding.

In Nature Plants: Future drought will offset benefits of higher CO2 on soybean yields
A study of soybeans grown in atmospheric conditions expected by 2050 has yielded a new and worrisome finding: higher CO2 will boost plant growth under ideal growing conditions, but drought – expected to worsen as the climate warms and rainfall patterns change – will outweigh those benefits.

From Journal of Experimental Botany:

  • Plant peptides – taking them to the next level

A recent Special Issue of Journal of Experimental Botany comes in response to the particularly fast-moving pace of discovery in peptide signalling. 

  • Leaf hydraulic conductance shifts our understanding of plant water transport
New work by Patrizia Trifiló et al. shows that water transport beyond the xylem is important in explaining the decline of whole-leaf hydraulic conductance with dehydration.

From Elsevier: Free Current Opinion in Plant Biology articles from a special issue on Agriculture & Climate Change Conference 2015
Elsevier has made a series of 9 articles free to access following the 2015 Agriculture & Climate Change Conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
