Title:
Smoke and mirrors: The curious connection between post-fire germination and shoot branching control
Abstract:
Karrikins are a class of butenolide compounds identified in smoke that have prominent roles in activating post-fire seed germination. Genetic studies performed in Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrated that the F-box protein MAX2 is required for karrikin responses. MAX2 is also necessary for responses to strigolactones, a class of plant hormones originally identified in host root exudates as highly potent germination stimulants of parasitic weeds. Strigolactones are also known to have roles in the control of shoot branching and recruitment of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi - neither of which processes are influenced by karrikins. Two homologous proteins, KAI2 and D14, have now been shown to mediate strigolactone and karrikin-specific responses in Arabidopsis. Through genetic suppressor screens we are identifying additional components of the MAX2-dependent karrikin and strigolactone signaling pathways.

Title
Understanding and Enhancing Alkaline and Oxidative Chemical Pretreatments for the Production of Cellulosic Biofuels through Improved Characterization

Host: Hannele Tuominen

Place: Seminar room KB3B3 at KBC

Abstract:

This seminar will present recent research on improving technologies for oxidative chemical pretreatments and alkaline fractionation of plant biomass. One theme underlying this research is how improved characterization of the chemical, structural, and physical changes to the plant cell wall and the spectrum of compounds solubilized from the cell wall can better inform technologies for plant cell wall deconstruction and conversion to renewable fuels and chemicals. The work presented on these technologies will span four areas that include: (1) characterizing how lignin properties (S/G ratio, p-hydroxycinnamic acid content, and total lignin content) and their alteration during alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP) pretreatment impacts enzymatic digestibility for grasses with diverse lignin phenotypes, (2) characterizing the impacts of pretreatment on the extractability/accessibility of the non-cellulosic polysaccharides in the cell walls of diverse plants using "glycome profiling" or screening a library of 156 monoclonal antibodies against polysaccharide epitopes, (3) identifying the spectrum of fermentation inhibitors generated by AHP pretreatment of grasses for high-sugar concentration fermentation by xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains and demonstration of improved xylose fermentation and hydrolysate tolerance through evolutionary engineering, and (4) quantifying the impact of AHP pretreatment on plant cell wall water swelling capacity and how the water-cell wall environment influences its susceptibility to enzymatic hydrolysis.

Title: Modeling intracellular regulation: Transcription factor kinetics

Abstract:
Basic physical constraints in how macromolecules are made and how fast they can find each other in the intracellular environment constrain the fidelity of cellular regulation. These two properties are recently studied experimentally as well as analytically. I will give a brief overview of how such processes can be characterized and modeled.
