About This Webinar
Biomolecular condensates are membrane-less organelles or bodies that often form via liquid–liquid phase separation and have the ability to selectively concentrate or sequester biomolecules, primarily proteins and nucleic acids. They are increasingly recognized as playing important roles in plant development and environmental responses. The September 2023 Focus Issue of The Plant Cell, edited by Lucia Strader, Peter Bozhkov, and Emilio Gutierrez-Beltran, spotlights research on biomolecular condensates in plants. This webinar features speakers Peijin Li, Gesa Hoffmann, and Justin (Chun Sing) Lau, who share findings from their work appearing in this Focus Issue. The webinar is hosted by The Plant Cell Guest Editor Emilio Gutierrez-Beltran and moderated by Assistant Features Editor Sophie Hendrix.
| Registration is free and opens to ASPB members exclusively for 24 hours before opening to the general plant science community. Don’t delay–seats fill up fast! |

| Peijin Li: The P-body component DECAPPING5 and the floral repressor SISTER OF FCA regulate FLOWERING LOCUS C transcription in Arabidopsis. Peijin Li received a B.S. in biochemistry and M.S. in crop genetics and breeding from Anhui Agricultural University, Hefei, China, and completed his PhD in genetics at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Beijing, China. He was a Postdoc at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK from 2007-2015, and then returned to Anhui Agricultural University, where he is now a Professor in the School of Life Sciences. His work is focused on flowering time control and abiotic and abiotic stress resistance. He has published more than 20 research articles in journals such as The Plant Cell, Nature Communications, Genes & Development, and eLife. |

| Gesa Hoffmann: Cauliflower mosaic virus protein P6 is a multivalent node for RNA granule proteins and interferes with stress granule responses during plant infection. “I have been amazed by plant pathogens and their incredible sophistication since my first internship during my Bachelor studies in Cologne. I continued working with plant pathogenic fungi during my Master’s in Vienna and finally moved to Uppsala to study plant viruses and their translational regulation during infection, where I recently obtained my PhD degree. Studying viruses is especially exciting because they are masters of manipulation and give you a new perspective on what is biologically possible. I have just moved again and started my Postdoc with Marco Incarbone at the Max Planck Institute in Potsdam investigating molecular barriers prohibiting viral transmission through the germline.” |
 |
| Justin (Chun Sing) Lau: A phase-separated CO2-fixing pyrenoid proteome determined by TurboID in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Originally from Hong Kong, Chun Sing Lau is a PhD student at the University of York in Luke Mackinder’s lab. He cultivated an interest in CO₂ concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) during his undergraduate at the University of Sheffield where he worked on the enzyme kinetics of key C4 enzymes at Richard Leegood’s group. This led to his current research focus on the algal CCM, where he uses biochemistry, genetics, and microscopy to investigate the biogenesis of the liquid-liquid phase-separated Pyrenoid. |

| Sophie Hendrix, The Plant Cell Assistant Features Editor Sophie is a postdoctoral researcher in the lab of Ann Cuypers at Hasselt University (Belgium). She has a strong interest in the role of redox processes in plant abiotic stress responses. During her PhD at Hasselt University, she investigated the effects of cadmium stress in Arabidopsis, specifically focusing on cell cycle regulation and the DNA damage response. Subsequently, she studied plant heat stress responses using genetically encoded biosensors as a postdoc in the lab of Andreas Meyer at the University of Bonn (Germany). Currently, she aims to elucidate oxidative signaling processes in plants under various abiotic stress conditions. Sophie loves to share her passion for plant research through teaching and mentoring activities. |

Viernes 8 de septiembre de 2023, de 9:00 a 13:00 horas
El viernes 8 de septiembre celebraremos el V Foro de Comunicación Responsable en Ciencia y Salud: “Cuando comer se transforma en un ‘a todo o nada’”.
En un contexto donde circula mucha información en torno a la alimentación, no siempre de buena calidad, se escuchan frecuentemente propuestas “extremas” que sugieren abandonar por completo el consumo de ciertos alimentos o ingredientes y reemplazarlos por otros, sin dichos ingredientes o con ciertas características.
En esta 5ta edición del Foro de Comunicación Responsable en Ciencia y Salud vamos a analizar el impacto comunicacional de estas propuestas “a todo o nada”, conversaremos sobre cómo podemos mejorar el diálogo con diversas audiencias, debatiremos sobre si es posible comunicar los matices y analizaremos propuestas para mejorar la comunicación de temas relacionados con la nutrición y la salud.

Disertante:
Plant Physiology Article of the Week: Plant Stem Cells Under Low Oxygen: Metabolic Rewiring by Phytoglobin Underlies Stem Cell Functionality The spotlight is on Mohammed M. Mira, Robert D. Hill, Alexander Hilo, Matthias Langer, Sean Robertson, Abir U Igamberdiev, Olivia Wilkins, Hardy Rolletschek, and Claudio Stasolla. Their work provides an overview of metabolic responses occurring in plant stem cells during oxygen deficiency, and demonstrates that despite their hypoxic state under normal oxygen tension, root stem cells are vulnerable to low-oxygen stress. |
The Plant Cell Article of the Week: Leaf Starch Metabolism Sets the Phase of Stomatal Rhythm The spotlight is on Adrianus J. Westgeest, Myriam Dauzat, Thierry Simonneau, and Florent Pantin from LEPSE, Univ Montpellier, INRAE, Institut Agro, Montpellier, France. They developed PhenoLeaks, a pipeline to analyze the diel dynamics of transpiration, and through their observations determined that a number of severe mutations in starch metabolism affect the endogenous rhythm. |
Plant Direct Article of the Week: Transcriptome Analyses of Leaf Architecture in Sansevieria Support a Common Genetic Toolkit in the Parallel Evolution of Unifacial Leaves in Monocots
The spotlight is on Edward M. Golenberg, Aleksandar Popadić, and Weilong Hao. Their work suggests that the cylindrical-leaf in S. cylindrica is analogous to the central leaf tissue in the planar-leaf species. Furthermore, the congruence of the expression patterns of these YABBY genes in Sansevieria with expression patterns found in other unifacial monocot species suggests that patterns of parallel evolution may be the result of similar solutions derived from a limited developmental toolbox.

Los insectos
En la Academia Nacional de Ciencias, junto a la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, hicimos una lista que podría ayudar a los concursantes a elegir un aspecto del tema interesante y de informaciÃón asequible a cualquier público.
Metamorfosis: tipos de metamorfosis, completa e incompleta. ¿Cómo crecen los insectos?. El exoesqueleto y su amplia gama de funciones.
Diversidad de insectos: los ambientes conquistados por este diverso grupo, desde la Antártida a los océanos, prácticamente no hay ambiente sobre la tierra que los insectos no hayan logrado hacer suyo.
Insectos constructores: desde los gigantescos nidos de tierra de algunos insectos sociales como hormigas y termitas, hasta la delicada geometría de los nidos de abejas y avispas, cientos de especies de industriosos insectos evolucionaron para modificar el ambiente a su favor. A veces amigos, otras
veces un gran problema para el hombre, pero siempre haciendo gala de cualidades ingenieriles que rivalizan con las nuestras.
Tipos de alimentación en insectos: no hay materia orgánica sobre la tierra que no sirva de alimento para alguna especie de insecto. Pueden ser deliciosas frutas y otros cultivos, las columnas y tirantes de nuestras casas, o cosas realmente repugnantes, siempre habrá un insecto que lo coma.
Pero no se quedan ahí, varias especies de insectos pueden alimentarse de plásticos y otros productos sintéticos, y hasta de petróleo.
Los insectos y nosotros, una relación complicada: los insectos son el grupo animal más variado del mundo. La mayoría de ellos nos son indiferentes, otros son beneficiosos, como las abejas y lo predadores que se alimentan de plagas agropecuarias, pero muchos insectos parecen empeñados en quitarnos todo nuestro alimento, y aún otros en atacarnos directamente, cuando no enfermarnos sin remedio.
Colores en los insectos: los distintos tipos de mimetismo; algunos hacen lo posible para que no los veamos, otros, en cambio, exhiben colores y patrones que parecen hechos para llamar nuestra atención -o la de algo más-. ¿A qué se deben todas estas variaciones de colores, y qué ventajas les traen a los insectos que las exhiben?
Insectos en la industria: manejo de residuos, textiles, colorantes, lacas, ceras, productos farmacéuticos, fertilizantes, y hasta fuentes de alimentos animal y humano; los insectos tienen una amplia gama de usos
industriales, tanto tradicionales como potenciales, y todo indica que estamos a las puertas de una revolución en el uso industrial de estos animales.
Cómo verán, hay muchas opciones interesantes para hacer un lindo video sobre insectos. ¡Solo hay que animarse!!
