11am to Noon, Cornell Vet School Auditorium (Lecture Hall 1) Ripening is a process by which the texture, color, flavor, and nutritional content of fruit is enhanced. These traits contribute to the healthfulness and desirability of the fruit as a food source. Clearly, understanding the processes behind fruit ripening are important in terms of nutrition, […]
11am to Noon, Cornell Vet School Auditorium (Lecture Hall 1) Metabolic pathways in plants are quite dynamic, resulting in production of over a million metabolites across ~300,000 estimated plant species. These metabolic pathways are in a constant state of innovation due to gene duplication, transcriptional divergence, enzyme promiscuity etc. How have specific metabolic pathways originated […]
11am to Noon, BTI Auditorium "The focus of research in the Van Eck laboratory is biotechnological approaches to the study of gene function and crop improvement. For our studies, we apply several genetic engineering strategies to two major food crops: potato and tomato. The development of biotechnological techniques has made it possible to design and […]
11am to Noon, BTI Auditorium Mike Scalon is a Professor in the School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University. His expertise includes genetics and genomics of plant development, shoot apical meristem structure and function. This seminar is hosted as part of BTI’s Plant Genome Research Program, taking place every Wednesday (except July 4th) from June […]
Join us on Thursday, July 28 from 12:00-1:00 PM for a lunch-and-learn with the Plantae team from the American Society of Plant Biologists. Plantae is a community platform developed by ASPB for plant scientists.
11am to Noon, BTI Auditorium Research in the Rose lab is focused on understanding the biological importance of the structural polymers that form plant cell walls, as well as the water resistant barrier, called the cuticle (the plant ‘skin’), which covers the above ground surfaces of land plants. We look at how those polymers are […]
This day-long event on August 9th, 2018, provides student interns an opportunity to either present their research through a presentation in our auditorium or be part of a poster session. Awards are given to best presentation and poster each year.
Together with the BCBC, GOBii, Cassavabase, and Cornell, BTI will be hosting a fall workshop titled "Transforming Breeding through Integrated Data Management and Analysis". We invite the community to join the daily keynote presentations. If you unable to join us in person, the talks will be streamed live on this page. Susan McCouch: It takes […]
