Gordon Research Seminar — Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism and Function

The Plant Lipids: Structure, Metabolism and Function GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators. Plant lipids act as structural components in membranes, as inter-/intracellular signals, and as energy storage. Modifications to lipid composition, structure, and metabolism can dramatically influence the development and physiology of the plant. This seminar will focus on the functions of lipid and membrane remodeling and lipids as signals during plant stress response and development.
