Science Buzz Lunch at Uji Campus, 6-28-2012
Topics discussed included:
1) Molecular mechanisms leading to apical dominance (and its loss) in plants
2) The recent publication in Science of Ron Fouchier's study about mutations responsible for acquisition of airborne transmission of influenza virus A/H5N1 between ferrets
3)The recent publication in Nature of the paper
NPR3 and NPR4 are receptors for the immune signal salicylic acid in plants
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v486/n7402/pdf/nature11162.pdf
4) The recent achievement of self-organizing optic-cup morphogenesis in three-dimensional cultures of human embryonic stem cells, and how this resolves a long debate over whether intrinsic cues drive optic cup morphogenesis (they do).
