The goals of this project are to provide a central repository for public maize information and present it in a way that creates intuitive biological connections for the researcher with minimal effort as well as provide a series of computational tools that directly address the questions of the biologist in an easy-to-use form. (...) The data in MaizeGDB is broken down into a number of interconnected data types (BACs, ESTs, Gene products, loci, ...)." ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Oryzabase is a comprehensive rice science database established in 2000 by rice researcher's committee in Japan. The database is originally aimed to gather as much knowledge as possible ranging from classical rice genetics to recent genomics and from fundamental information to hot topics. The Oryzabase consists of five parts, (1) genetic resource stock information, (2) gene dictionary, (3) chromosome maps, (4) mutant images, and (5) fundamental knowledge of rice science. We are planning to do more extensive cross-referencing of Oryzabase to the major DNA sequence database, literature database and other plant databases in order to provide the wealth of information to rice researchers. We are calling for additional mutants and mapped gene information to incorporate into the Oryzabase. Newly identified mutants and mapped trait genes published in the scientific journals will be welcome to integrate into the Oryzabase maps. ... [Information of the supplier]
PHYTOPROT is a database of clusters of plant proteins. All the protein sequences from plants (including Arabidopsis thaliana) available from SwissProt/ TrEMBL have been the subject of an all-by-all systematic comparison and grouped into clusters of related proteins. Within each cluster, the sequences have been submitted to pyramidal classification; in the case where two or several subfamilies have been grouped together, the pyramidal tree helps in finding which sequences make the links between subfamilies. In addition, the `domains' that are common to two or more sequences within a cluster were determined and displayed à la ProDom. The resulting graphical representations proved to be quite efficient in pinpointing those protein sequences suffering from a probable error in the annotation of their genes. The clusters can be searched through various criteria and their pyramidal classifications and their domain representations can be displayed. The user can also launch a BLAST search of a query sequence against all the clusters. ... [Information of the supplier]
The 16th International Congress on Photosynthesis will be held August 11-16, 2013 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The congress will include fifteen plenary lectures, twenty-one scientific symposia, poster sessions, exhibitors, opening reception, final banquet, excursions and accompanying persons program. The congress is organized as an official event sponsored by the International Society of Photosynthesis Research. The overall organization of the congress will be co-chaired by Dr. Robert Blankenship from Washington University in St. Louis and Dr. Donald Ort from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and USDA/ARS. Four major committees will be responsible for all aspects of the planning of the congress. ... [Information of the supplier]
We are pleased to announce that the next International Symposium on Plant Photobiology will take place from Monday 3 - Thursday 6 June 2013.

This will be held within the University of Edinburgh at the John McIntyre Conference Centre within the Pollock Halls Campus. Registration for this conference is now open please use the link below to book your delegate place and accommodation. This conference will provide a platform for plant photobiologists and those interested to show advances of their researches, to exchange and debate different ideas, hypotheses, and to share newly developed approaches for the advancement of this field. A must attend for all plant scientists. ... [Information of the supplier]
We warmly invite you to be a part of the 24th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR), the largest annual international scientific conference devoted to Arabidopsis thaliana – a model plant worked with by an estimated 16,000 labs around the world. Experiments performed in Arabidopsis often underpin plant research in general and Arabidopsis-driven research leads the way with technologies and concepts. The conference will be held in the recently refurbished Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. With its prime Darling Harbour waterfront location and world-class facilities, the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre is adjacent to a wonderful array of restaurants to suit everyone’s budget, and within close walking distance of a variety of hotels, motels and apartments. Sporting and cultural events and shopping opportunities are a major part of life in Sydney and the integrated transport network of trains and buses make it easy and comfortable to get around. Sydney is one of the most dynamic cities of the Asia-Pacific region. It is renowned for scientific research and development and technological progress. Combined, these features will ensure a large and successful meeting. We hope you will take this unique opportunity to enjoy four days of plant science in Sydney and look forward to welcoming you "Down Under". ... [Information of the supplier]
We warmly welcome you to be a part of the 25th International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR), the largest annual international scientific conference devoted to Arabidopsis thaliana. The majority of breakthroughs in plant science in the last 25 years have relied on development of Arabidopsis thaliana as the reference for both research and international collaboration. The 2014 conference takes place in the beautiful Pacific Northwest at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. ... [Information of the supplier]
The aim of this EMBO Workshop is to support the development of new scientific concepts and experimental approaches for exploring the mechanisms, control and role of intercellular communication in developmental plant biology and crop diseases. The EMBO Workshop will be organized into the following sessions: - Structure and Regulation of Plasmodesmata - Plasmodesmata and Plant Development - Intercellular Transport of Messenger RNAs and Short RNAs - Plasmodesmata and Viral Disease - Direct Intercellular Communication Pathways in other Systems ...

The oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II is responsible for the formation of atmospheric oxygen. Cytochrome oxidase (CO) and related respiratory oxidases convert oxygen back into water as part of the respiratory processes that provide the energy for survival of most living organisms. The underlying redox chemistry of oxygen/water interconversion is complex and these enzymes have evolved unique mechanisms whose performance has yet to be achieved with (bio)mimetic chemical systems. Mechanistic and structural questions are common and yet the two enzyme systems are rarely discussed comparatively. The format of this Harden meeting is designed to bring together such expertise. ...
