How do plants sense and acquire nitrate?
BlogASPB Conviron Scholars Independent Project
Nitrogen (N) is one of the important plant nutrients required for growth and development. Nitrogen makes up the genetic backbone and is assimilated into numerous different proteins. Plants take up N in two forms: nitrate and ammonium. Nitrate is…
SURFing with ASPB: How fellowships and mentorship for undergraduates foster a more diverse and inclusive society
BlogHello ASPB members!
If we haven’t met, or if you don’t follow me on Twitter (@PLANTasticPope), my name is Lauren Pope and I am a first-year graduate student in the Stanford Biosciences PhD program. While I am still rotating through labs during my first year at Stanford and am seemingly far from…
Letting Sleeping DOGs Lie: Regulation of DOG1 during Seed Dormancy
Research, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: In BriefThe auspicious timing of seasonal germination is crucial to plant fitness and survival. Consequently, seed dormancy is tightly regulated by both developmental and environmental cues, which are integrated via crosstalk between several phytohormone signaling pathways including gibberellins, abscisic acid…
