7 November, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
This meeting is the second in a series of Symposium, "Genomics in the Barossa", initiated by the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics. The symposia are held annually, during each Australian spring, with the aims of generating an atmosphere for open discussion and vigorous debate around the fields of abiotic stress in crops. The structure of the symposia will allow new scientists to network and collaborate with more senior research scientists. The symposium will be on the general topic of the biology of abiotic stress, which is one of the key areas underpinning the activities of the ACPFG.

We collaborated with several groups in Cambridge, including the following:
Jim Haseloff's Cellular Development Laboratory (contains Arabidopsis GFP enhancer trap line catalogues)
Alex Webb - Guard cell signal transduction and circadian biology
Julia Davies - Calcium transport in fungi and root hairs
Peter Richardson - Gene expression in single cells
- also CSO of Cambridge BioTechnology Ltd
Nice enhancer trap lines are also described at Scott Poethig's site.
We also have some links to websites providing information on GM crops, on the GM page of our website, at http://plantscience.acpfg.com.au/gmcrops.html
Also don't forget our Nutriomics Network website, which provides listings of Australian workers involved in the uptake of plant nutrients and toxic inorganic solutes - it also arranges work by biological topics and by techniques used.
