GPC Survey

Your opinion matters! Please take 5-10 minutes to complete the GPC survey addressed to all kinds of plant, crop, environmental and agricultural researchers. Data gathered through this survey will be used in developing the GPC’s new strategic plan. We are (eagerly) waiting for your feedback! Link: https://goo.gl/Xj8QT5.

GPC workshop

The workshop, entitled “Enhancing Global Collaborations in Crop Science”, will be held in association with the ASA CSSA annual meeting in Baltimore, USA, on 4th November. At this one-day event, attendees will hear from experts in both crop science research and policy, and discuss new ideas for enhancing collaboration and kickstart an initiative to address one of the world’s major food security challenges. For more details of the workshop and information on registration, please click here: https://www.acsmeetings.org/workshops/#Enhancing or here: https://www.acsmeetings.org/files/am/pdfs/agenda-enhancing-global-collaborations-in-crop-science.pdf

The workshop will cost just $30, and places will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Hotel rooms are filling up quickly in Baltimore!

Blazes of light reveal how plants signal danger long distances
Fluorescent light tracks calcium as it zips across plant’s tissues, providing an electrical and chemical signal of a threat. This research reveals how the aminoacid glutamate activates the wave of calcium when the plants are wounded.

Rare discovery of new fatty acids
Decades after scientists discovered hundreds of different fatty acids in vegetable oils, two that had managed to elude detection have finally revealed themselves. The discovery may be the first of its kind since the 1960s and 1970s.

Multiple facets of biodiversity reduce variability of grassland biomass production
In addition to species richness, plant evolutionary history plays a critical role in regulating year-to-year variation of biomass production in grasslandsI. In the face of climate change, understanding the causes of variability in key ecosystem services such as biomass production is essential.

Jumping genes drive sex chromosome changes in strawberries
The transfer of gene cassettes across generations of strawberry plants seems to drive changes in sex chromosomes. Researchers determined that Wild North American octoploid strawberries feature separate sexes with homomorphic, female heterogametic (ZW) inheritance, whose origins trace back to three different chromosomes from three different taxonomic groups.
