Dear Sir, Madam, The 9th Dutch Seed Symposium had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We still want to inspire you with exciting stories about seed technology so we will host a free webinar. During this webinar you will hear from Frank Lanfermeijer, who talks about real life examples illustrating the complexity of seed quality control. You will also hear from Nikita Sajeev, who talks about seeds deciding if and when to germinate. While this is different from the Dutch Seed Symposium, we hope this webinar inspires you and we will see you again at the Dutch Seed Symposium 2021. Date : 6 October 2020 Time : 14.00 – 15.00 p.m. CEST Speakers : Frank Lanfermeijer – Bejo Zaden Seed Quality: Sowing Dragon Teeth in order to Harvest Armed Men Seed quality depends on genetics, production (environment) and processing. During recent years studies have revealed a complex picture concerning the control of seed quality. Using real life examples this complex matter will be discussed. Nikita Sajeev – Wageningen University & Research Regulation of Seed Germination – The check-point hypothesis Seeds sense their environment continuously in order to make the crucial decision: if and when they should germinate. Protein translation is one such way in which seeds can dynamically regulate germination in response to their environment. Registration is open until October 1st 2020. Please register here with this LINK.. Technical details are shared a few days in advance of the webinar. We look forward to your presence at this stimulating webinar. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Monique van Vegchel (m.vanvegchel@plantum.nl). On behalf of the organizing committee with regards, Arjan Stolte ASP – Quality Support BV +31 6 13609552 a.stolte@asp-qs.nl

Compartimos información de un nuevo special issue en semillas y epigenética del journal Genes, más detalles a continuación.
Special Issue information. Dear Colleagues, The seed is an important plant organ that is of enormous economic significance for agriculture. The ploidy and origin of its three tissues (i.e., embryo, endosperm, and seed coat) differ, making seed development a unique and complex process with an important epigenetic regulatory component. Recently, with the rapid increase of knowledge regarding the epigenetic mechanisms in model species and with high-throughput technologies providing access to the nucleotide sequences of novel plant genomes, it is timely to propose this Special Issue containing state-of-the-art works to better understand how epigenetic regulation participates in seed development, maturation, and germination from developmental, environmental, and evolutionary perspectives. Therefore, we are inviting authors to send review and original research articles on this specific topic before 30 June 2021. If you are interested, please send us a statement of intent with a short abstract as soon as possible. The complete Issue will be published in late 2021 (but your article will be online shortly after it is accepted), and your article will be widely promoted online and at international conferences in order to guarantee the maximal visibility of your work. Dr. Jerome Verdier Dr. John Harada Dr. Huiming Zhang Guest Editors Manuscript Submission Information Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI. Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions. Keywords:

Director del proyecto: Diego Batlla Tipo de beca: Doctoral Tema de la beca: Estudio de la regulación ambiental de la dormición en especies maleza de importancia agrícola y desarrollo de modelos predictivos de los cambios en el nivel de dormición Descripción del tema de Beca: El objetivo del proyecto de beca es estudiar la regulación ambiental de la dormición en semillas de malezas y desarrollar modelos que permitan simular los cambios en el nivel de dormición en función de los factores ambientales estudiados. El becario deberá realizar ensayos a campo donde se exponga a las plantas a diferentes condiciones ambientales durante la etapa pre y post-dispersión de las semillas, evaluar la respuesta germinativa en el laboratorio, y desarrollar algoritmos que permitan establecer relaciones funcionales entre los factores estudiados y el nivel de dormición de las semillas que luego serán puesta a prueba con ensayos de campo. En forma paralela, se llevarán a cabo experimentos a nivel fisiológico, y eventualmente molecular, con el objetivo de comprender los mecanismos a través de los cuales el ambiente regula los cambios en el nivel de dormición de las especies estudiadas. Requisitos del becario: Graduado en Agronomía, Ciencias Biológicas, Ciencias Ambientales o afines. Aptitud para trabajar en equipo y motivación por la investigación. Preferentemente con experiencia previa en investigación científica y con dominio del idioma inglés. Enviar CV con analítico de materias y carta breve de motivación a batlla@agro.uba.ar. Lugar de trabajo: I.F.E.V.A./Cátedra de Cerealicultura, C.O.N.I.C.E.T./Facultad de Agronomía, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Av. San Martín 4453, C1417DSE-Buenos Aires, Argentina. Dedicación: tiempo completo (40 hs semanales) Inicio de la beca: 1 de Noviembre de 2020 Estipendio mensual: $ 45430 Duración: 3 años Cierre del concurso: 09 de Octubre de 2020 Contacto: Diego Batlla (batlla@agro.uba.ar) |
