Title: Investigating regulation of vascular patterning along root axes in cereals
Date: Tuesday, 16 June 2026
Time: 12:30 pm
Location: Lecture hall (GHS) of Biochemistry, Kurt-Mothes-Straße 3 (Weinberg Campus), 06120 Halle (Saale)
Abstract: Root anatomy significantly affects root system physiology, especially hydraulic transport. Different parts of the root system (seminal and adventitious root classes) can present different anatomical traits, which can also vary significantly within individual roots. By developing a low cost high throughput root anatomical phenotyping platform, we were able to screen a wide range of cereals to investigate differences in anatomy between root classes and along root lengths. We identified a conserved root class specific change in vascular anatomical patterning, and have proceeded to investigate how this anatomical transition is regulated hormonally and transcriptionally, and what physiological effect this has on root system function.
