Joint 3rd Pei Qin Ng, University of Adelaide. Connecting the dots of RNA modifications and small RNA profiles in Arabidopsis thaliana & Yagiz Alagoz, Western Sydney University. Shedding light on how photisomerisation of cis-carotenes can rapidly regulate nuclear gene expression in plants.
Calling for content for Phytogen
We would like to encourage our community and especially the discipline representatives to (i) contribute to Phytogen and (ii) contribute to education media and (iii) post/re-post on social media, add @asps_ozplants to your relevant content. Tweet to @asps_ozplantsand facebook, https://www.facebook.com/ASPSozplants/. Ask your colleagues, teachers and students to send articles to the websites and communications team for publishing on Phytogen.
In the December edition of Phytogen, there will be an article by Beth Loveys.
As we are nearing the end of the year, we would like to take time to thank Gonzalo Estavillo and Chris Cazzonelli for their contributions to ASPS website and media communications over the past few years. Both of these researchers have been passionate about communicating plant science to the community and its dissemination to fellow researchers, teachers, students and children.

| GPC SURVEY
The GPC survey launch last addressed to all kinds of plant, crop, environmental and agricultural researchers will remain open until Christmas. Data gathered through this survey will be used in developing the GPC’s new strategic plan. Please take 5-10 minutes to complete! Link: https://goo.gl/Xj8QT5. GPC workshop The workshop hosted by GPC, entitled “Enhancing Global Collaborations in Crop Science“, was held in the frame of the ASA CSSA annual meeting in Baltimore, USA, on 4th November. At this one-day event, over 40 attendees coming from all continents besides the Antarctica, including experts in crop science research, policy and science communication, discussed new ideas for enhancing collaboration and kickstart initiatives to address major food security challenges. The slides provided by the speakers are available here. ASPB TRAVEL GRANT ASPB is offering a limited number of $575 travel grants to attend Plant Biology 2019 in San Jose, California. The travel grant program aims to increase attendance of early-career scientists at the annual meeting by providing travel funds for those in financial need; increasing diversity among Plant Biology attendees is another important goal. Undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, pre-tenure faculty, and professionals beginning their careers in plant science are strongly encouraged to apply. Deadline: 5 December 2018. Link |
