SUMMARY:PGRP Seminar - Jim Giovannoni: Genes that make tomatoes (bad)
DESCRIPTION:11am to Noon\, Cornell Vet School Auditorium (Lecture Hall 1)\nRipening 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\, but also for commercial applications such as transportation and shelf-life. Thus\, the focus of research in the Giovannoni lab is molecular and genetic analysis of fruit ripening and related signal transduction systems\, using tomato as the model system. \nJim Giovannoni is a faculty advisor as part of the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) internship program. \nThis seminar is hosted as part of BTI’s Plant Genome Research Program\, taking place every Wednesday (except July 4th) from June 6th – August 1st\, 2018.

SUMMARY:PGRP Seminar - Gaurav Moghe: Breaking the Tower of Babel: The evolution of complexity and diversity in plant metabolism
DESCRIPTION:11am to Noon\, Cornell Vet School Auditorium (Lecture Hall 1)\nMetabolic 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 and diversified? What is the role of positive selection and genetic drift in shaping metabolic diversity? How does enzyme promiscuity influence evolution of specialized metabolic pathways? We are investigating these and other allied questions using evolutionary genomic approaches\, by performing comparative analyses of plant genomes\, transcriptomes and proteomes. Research in the Moghe Lab is highly integrative and comprised of both computational and wet-lab approaches. \nThis seminar is hosted as part of BTI’s Plant Genome Research Program\, taking place every Wednesday (except July 4th) from June 6th – August 1st\, 2018.

SUMMARY:PGRP Seminar - Joyce Van Eck: Gene editing as a tool to advance improvement of underutilized crops
DESCRIPTION:11am to Noon\, BTI Auditorium\n“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 introduce gene constructs into plant cells and recover plants that express the introduced genes. Genes of interest to us have the potential to strengthen a plant’s resistance to disease\, improve fruit characteristics\, and enhance nutritional quality.” \nThis seminar is hosted as part of BTI’s Plant Genome Research Program\, taking place every Wednesday (except July 4th) from June 6th – August 1st\, 2018.
