SUMMARY:Sebastian Bargmann - To Cell and Back: the study of plant regeneration from protoplasts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Sebastian Bargmann Virginia Polytechnic Institute \nLocation: Wageningen Campus\, Radix\, meeting room W1 \nTo Cell and Back: the study of plant regeneration from protoplasts \nRecalcitrance in tissue culture is a significant bottleneck in the application of biotechnological approaches for crop trait improvement. The ability to regenerate a fertile plant from genetically modified cells is essential to many methodologies. Non-transgenic gene editing through transient transformation and subsequent regeneration of protoplasts is especially hampered by genotype dependence in regenerability. We have established a protoplast culture system in Arabidopsis to study the fundamental basis of regeneration. Our method allows us to track protoplast division and microcallus development microscopically over time. In addition\, we can use single-cell and single-colony transcriptomic analysis to characterize the gene-regulatory networks that guide re-entry into the cell cycle and subsequent growth and differentiation. Lastly\, we have studied the ability of morphogenic transcription factors to enhance regeneration by mapping their direct and indirect downstream effects using the TARGET-seq system (Transient Assay Reporting Genome-wide Effects of Transcription factors). A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in protoplast regeneration and the development of methods to enhance regeneration efficiency can broaden the applicability of biotechnological tools to improve sustainability and resilience of our agricultural systems. \nFor more information please contact Dr Renze Heidstra (Renze.Heidstra@wur.nl)

SUMMARY:No Frontiers in Microbial Ecology: The role of microbiomes in a sustainable future for our planet
DESCRIPTION:Scope\nMicrobial communities are vital to life on Earth. These “invisible creatures” catalyze global elemental cycles\, regulate climate\, and support human and environmental health and thereby play a critical role in mitigating climate change\, ensuring sustainable food and energy production as well as sustainable industrial production. \nThis one-week course explores the dynamic interplay between microbiomes and their environments\, focusing on their contributions to sustainability. Participants will tackle critical questions: How do microbial communities influence climate regulation\, nitrogen and carbon cycling\, and how they play in mitigating or exacerbating climate change? How can microbiomes support sustainable agriculture by enhancing soil fertility and health\, improving crop resilience\, and reducing reliance on chemical inputs? What potential do microbial ecosystems hold for sustainable energy production\, while minimizing environmental impacts? How can microbiome science be applied to solve challenges in waste management and resource conservation? How can we steer microbiomes to reach these goals? It may not give clear answers\, but lots of new ideas\, insights\, perspectives\, friends and research directions\, we expect. More than enough reasons to participate in this course! \nCourse set-up\nThe course is composed of a series of lectures\, subsequent discussions\, working group activities\, and poster sessions. The course will start on Sunday in the late afternoon (4 PM) with welcome drinks\, a dinner\, and poster pitches.

SUMMARY:GLS seminar Rebecca Mosher - RNA-directed DNA Methylation: a maternal influence during seed development
DESCRIPTION:GLS seminar by Rebecca Mosher – RNA directed DNA Methylation: a maternal influence during seed development\nSpeaker: Rebecca Mosher (Becky Mosher) University of Oxford\, Oxford\, UK \nDate: Tuesday 25 November 2025 \nTime: 15:00 -16:00 \nLocation UvA Science Park 904\, Room C0.05 \nHost: Maike Stam \n*followed by a meet up with the speaker for GLS master students\, PhD candidates\, and postdocs of the plant groups (hosted by Juliette Aubert) \n24-nt small interfering (si)RNAs establish DNA methylation at thousands of genomic loci in a process called RNA-directed DNA Methylation (RdDM). RdDM is dispensable for growth and development in Arabidopsis\, but is required for reproduction in many other plant species\, particularly historically outbreeding species. In Brassica rapa\, the embryo and endosperm abort if RdDM is disrupted in the maternal sporophyte\, implying communication between maternal and filial tissues. During reproduction\, 24-nt siRNAs are particularly abundant in maternal sporophytic tissue such as the seed coat\, largely due to overwhelming expression from a small number of “siren” loci. Siren loci account for over 90% of siRNAs in ovules and early seeds\, and many siRNAs are produced from gene fragments embedded in these loci. We recently demonstrated that these siRNAs trigger methylation at homologous protein-coding genes\, and in some cases this trans-methylation impacts expression of the target gene. In the endosperm\, siren siRNAs are maternally biased\, suggesting that siRNAs might be transported to\, and function in\, filial tissues. Together\, these observations suggest that maternally-derived siren siRNAs might methylate protein-coding genes in filial tissues to influence seed development. \n  \nTwo papers linked to the seminar: \n\nGrover JW et al\, PNAS 2020\nBurgess D et al\, Plant Cell 2022

SUMMARY:Mindful Productivity for scientists
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Productivity for Scientists is one of the signature courses of “I focus and write”. By the end of this course\, the students will have a full strategy of productivity that starts with themselves at the center and builds up around the needs of each individual. For more information please have a look at the website. \nThe course includes a two day writing retreat to apply the learning goals. \nThis includes: \n– An increase in self-awareness. The students identify their strengths\, values\, and purpose\, which will be the basis for maintaining their motivation and set goals. \n– A mindful approach to identify their common struggles (for example impostor syndrome\, perfectionism\, procrastination…)\, and how to respond to them so they can keep moving forward. \n– How to set S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals aligned with their values and translate these into projects and tasks. \n– Plan their work so they can manage their time and their energy in an optimal way. They will identify the energy that different types of tasks consume and different activities to rest and recover energy. \n– Practical tips to navigate relationships at work. From understanding cultural differences to setting boundaries.
