E-Bulletin / 
August 2017
Welcome to this month’s newsletter!

Following our Annual General Meeting last month, we’ve summarized our successes in our Annual Report for 2016-2017, with updates on each of our initiatives and activities. Please click the following link to read it: GPC Annual Report 2017.

Global Plant Council President Professor Bill Davies co-authored a paper with other eminent agricultural scientists to call for a global alliance of crop research to improve food security around the world. The article, ‘Improving global integration of crop research‘, was published in Science.

Past Chair of the Global Plant Council, Professor Wilhelm Gruissem, co-authored a paper that could have a big impact on crop nutritional security. The article, “Single genetic locus improvement of iron, zinc and β-carotene content in rice grains“, was published in Scientific Reports.

Finally, if you’re looking for a new job, check out the hashtag ‘#PlantSciJobs‘ on Twitter. We often post a cascade of job opportunities tagged as #PlantSciJobs on a Friday, but you’ll find a wealth of jobs shared by other institutions too!

Tracking down the jumping genes of maize
Until now, the “jumping genes” of maize have been elusive because they’re so difficult to sequence and assemble, but new technologies have allowed them to be mapped.

Plants under heat stress must act surprisingly quickly to survive
Even a six hour delay in protein translation in response to heat stress is enough to severely impair plant growth and survival.

Into the wild for plant genetics
Plant geneticists document the opportunities that are now available in plant science using portable, real-time DNA sequencing.
