[QSB-grads] Special Seminar Fri. 6/21 - Jose Dinneny, Stanford

[Shahar Sukenik]

Hi All,

Jose Dinneny will be on campus next week to give a seminar. Jose is an associate professor at the Biology department at Stanford. His lab develops methods that span the molecular, cellular, and organism scales to understand how plants respond to drought conditions. This should be a fascinating seminar, even if you are not a plant biologist! If you would like to meet with the speaker please contact me. More details about the speaker at https://dinnenylab.me<https://dinnenylab.me/>

Where: SE2, 224
When: Friday, 6/21, 2:00 PM
Title: Tearing down the wall and other stories of resistance to stress in plants
Abstract: While plants are sedentary, their bodies often traverse long distances as they explore their local environment in search of resources necessary for growth.  The biology of root systems is governed by both micro-scale and systemic signaling that allows the plant to integrate these complex variables into growth and branching decisions that ultimately determine the efficiency resources are captured.  Research in my lab is aimed at understanding the response of roots to water-limiting conditions and is exploring this process at different organizational scales from the individual cell type to the level of the whole plant.
