Description.
I had been on secondment at North Carolina State University, at Prof.Ross Sozzani’s lab, where talented scientists work for maximizing theutility of plants to face global challenges, such as climate change,scarcity of arable land and the increasing need of sustainable energy.To achieve this goal, they focus on understanding the mechanisms thatallow the organization and maintenance …
The aim of the secondment made by Moises Perez Rojas was to determine the spatial expression pattern of genes involved in the cytokinin pathway. In these experiments, the pattern of expression of cytokinin genes was evaluated in commercial strawberry Fragaria ananassa Var. San Andreas plants. The plants were grown under greenhouse conditions, and samples at different developmental …

We are happy to announce that the first meeting between all the project partners will be on Thursday October 6th, 2022, on Zoom Platform. It is the first opportunity for all the project participants to meet all together and to discuss results and plan new fruitful experiments.
The main goal of the research performed by Anna Solè of University of Valencia is to understand when a critical genetic circuit that regulates vascular cell differentiation in tracheophytes originated, and how it evolved in this lineage. The module, studied in angiosperms, is formed by a C3HDZ transcription factor that promotes the expression of ACL5, …

Sebastián Martínez Salazar, a graduate student at the Universidad de Antioquia in Colombia. finished a research exchange at the Universitat Politècnica de València in Spain during the months of April, May and June 2022. During this secondment he has been trained in RNA in situ hybridization at the Cristina Ferrándiz lab. He studied the expression …
About 300 researchers from around the world who work on various aspects of plant reproduction attended last week this international congress discussing the major advances in and to foster collaborations in the field of plant reproduction. The scientific program was fascinating and fundamental steps in plant reproduction were hint: Flowering and Flower Organ Development, Gametogenesis …

It was an amazing workshop in Alicante! Many RISE-EVOfruland project partners participated the Workshop on Molecular Mechanisms Controling Flowering in Alicante (ES) from May 29th to June 2nd providing update contributes on flower and fruit development. We learned from Lucia Colombo how the VACUOLAR SORTING PROTEIN 13 is involved in ovule development and in the progression …
Chiara Astori, a researcher from the University of Milano (IT) is working now in the Barbara Ambrose’s lab where she is studying the evolution of SPOROCYTELESS/NOZZLE (SPL/NZZ) gene, which, in the plant model species Arabidopsis thaliana, is fundamental for the correct development of male and female germline. A correct development of the structures involved in …
