SUMMARY:Seminar: Prof. Wataru Sakamoto (Okayama University\, Japan)
DESCRIPTION:We’re glad to have Prof. Wataru Sakamoto (Okayama University\, Japan) giving a seminar on 4th August. \n  \nWataru Sakamoto \n\nProfessor of Plant Genetics and Physiology\, leading the Light Acclimation Research Group\nFormer editor-in-chief of Plant & Cell Physiology\nResearch on photosynthesis\, chloroplast development\, function and repair under environmental stress\n\n  \nWhen: 4th August (Tue)\, 09:45-10:45 \nWhere: Meeting room M1\, Radix \n  \nSeminar title: Thylakoid membrane homeostasis (thylakostasis) in plant chloroplasts \nThe thylakoid membrane (TM) system\, characteristic of oxygen-evolving photosynthetic organisms\, hosts the protein complexes essential for light-dependent reactions and ATP synthesis. Although TM architecture varies considerably among photosynthetic lineages\, the evolutionary transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments is thought to have driven the development of more complex TM organization. In vascular plants\, the TM has evolved into a sophisticated network of unstacked stroma thylakoids and stacked grana thylakoids\, which enables the spatial separation of photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI) to optimize light capture and energy transfer. How TMs are established\, differentiated\, and maintained is fundamental to photosynthesis and can be conceptualized as thylakostasis (thylakoid membrane homeostasis). Over the past decade\, studies on thylakostasis have identified key proteins with broad remodeling functions\, including membrane deformation\, fusion\, and fission. Among these\, we focus on VIPP1\, a member of the evolutionarily conserved ESCRT-III superfamily\, which mediates diverse membrane remodeling events in the cytosol of yeast and animals. Recent advances in VIPP1 research in Arabidopsis will be discussed\, with a particular focus on its oligomeric structures\, interacting partners\, and its evolutionary conservation. \n  \nFeel free to share this invitation with anyone interested within WUR. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Summer School Environmental Signaling in Plants
DESCRIPTION:13th Utrecht PhD Summer School “Environmental Signaling in Plants”\nWe would like to invite you to join the PhD Summer School that has an attractive program with many expert speakers in the field of environmental signaling in plants. In addition to the invited speakers\, there are 3 parallel sessions in the program for oral presentations by PhD students that will be selected from submitted abstracts. Moreover\, there will be ample opportunity for discussions with speakers and fellow PhD students during breaks/lunch and the poster viewing session. The meeting is especially attractive for PhD students\, but the program will also be of interest to post-docs and senior scientists. The summer school is truly international; in past years it has attracted students from many European countries and even from outside Europe. We hope to see you this summer in the beautiful and lively historic city of Utrecht! \nInvited speakers for 2026 are:\nMariana Silva Artur\nRoeland Berendsen\nLaura Bacete\nNiko Geldner\nBruno Guillotin\nCaroline Gutjahr\n\nMatthew Paul\nLaura Ragni\nPriya Ramakrishna\nAri Sadanandom\n\nDaan Weits\n\n\nClosing keynote: Marcel Beukeboom\, director of Naturalis\, previously the permanent representative of Kingdom of the Netherlands to FAO.\n\nThe registration & abstract submission close on 7th June!\nPlease find more information on the UU website: EPS Summer School | Universiteit Utrecht | Home \n
