Plant Growth and Modeling Meeting
Alexis will be giving a talk in Elche (Spain) at the “Plant Growth Biology and Modeling 2011” workshop (September 19 – 21, 2011). The meeting will cover the latest advances in the biology and modeling of leaf and root development. http://pgbm2011.umh.es
Summer School on small RNAs
Together with Dirk Grimm, we organised the 2011 HBIGS summer school on “Regulatory RNAs in physiology, development and disease” in Boppard (Germany).
New paper
Our paper describing the use of light-sheet microscopy for the study of plant growth has been published. The major advantages of this technique are the low amount of light illuminating the sample (and therefore light-induced damages) and its very little invasiveness.
