We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 4th International Symposium on Plant Signaling and Behavior. The symposium will be held from June 19 to June 23, 2016, at Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences under the auspices of the Society of Plant Signaling and Behavior and the Russian Science Foundation. The meeting will take place in the heart of Saint Petersburg (info) and will include great scientific and social programs (event details are coming soon). The participation fee will be just 150 Euros for established researchers and 100 Euros for early career and young scientists, thanks to the Russian Science Foundation that is funding this event. A number of travel grants will be available for some categories of researchers (details are expected soon). ... [Information of the supplier]
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]
This site provides computational biology resources that are related to the genome/transcriptome of the model plant Physcomitrella patens. The Physcomitrella genome has been sequenced by whole-genome shotgun at the JGI (why?). The version 1.1 of the assembled and annotated genome has been released to the public in April 2007. The data are available e.g. for BLASTing on this site, the JGI genome browser is available here. ... [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]
