  Subject: BRASSINOSTEROID: A UNIQUE TARGET FOR CROP IMPROVEMENT

  Abstract:

  To increase food production and achieve sustainable agriculture, crop varieties that can effectively face the unexpected cascades of multiple stresses during their lifecycles must be developed. Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a class of plant steroidal hormones that provide a unique opportunity to simultaneously enhance plant yield and stress tolerance. BRs control plant architecture, growth rate, grain filling, and both biotic and abiotic stress responses. Recent advances in our knowledge, through genomic and genetic analyses, have identified BR-responsive genes that confer multiple beneficial effects on plants, including seed yield increase, root system architectural changes and broad-range stress tolerance. These novel and key regulators of both growth and stress tolerance are excellent candidates for crop improvement.

  Research Hour

  Informal session for researchers to connect with research support staff from ITDS/Library/Research Services; share ideas and ask questions.

  academic events; Information sessions
  All WSU researchers
  Informal session for researchers to connect with research support staff from ITDS/Library/Research Services; share ideas and ask questions.

  Researchers from across Western are invited to join us for ‘Research Hour’, hosted by ITDS, Research Services and the Library. Come along to ask questions, learn new techniques and share ideas.

  Incorporating ‘Hacky Hour’: swap notes, get help, learn techniques in programming and data science, code, digital tools, HPC etc.

  The hour will also offer general advice and assistance for Researchers (eg: managing your online researcher profile, Open Access advice, metrics and impact, data management plan, research data storage, equipment and facilities).

  Research Hour is open to Researchers from any discipline and at any level of their career: undergrads, HDR students, ECRs, MCRs and beyond… everyone is welcome.
