For humans, the most important star in the universe is the Sun. The second most important star is nestled inside in the Andromeda galaxy. Don’t go looking for it. The flickering star is 2.2 million ...
Samantha Thompson, curator at Lowell Observatory, will give a talk titled "Television as an Aid to Astronomy: Investigating the rise and fall of image tube technology" at 11 a.m. on Thursday, November ...
Join Dr. Chris Ballentine, University of Oxford, UK, for "The three geochemical stages of a planet: accretion; evolution; and exploitation" with host Peter van Keken.
In this talk, I will present new approaches developed in my lab to observe, image, characterize and model the growth of root systems. We have developed a new type of substrate, named “transparent soil ...
Jackie Villadsen, a Jansky Fellow at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, will present a lecture at 11 a.m. on Thursday, September 14, 2017, in the Greenewalt Auditorium as part of DTM's Weekly ...
Although many studies provide examples of evolutionary processes such as balancing selection or deleterious polymorphism, the relative importance of these processes for phenotypic variation is unclear ...
The shapes around us contain information. Morphometrics, methods that quantify shape, can reveal patterns reflecting underlying biological phenomena. In this seminar, I will begin with a primer to ...
Root growth is critical for plant adaptation to water deficit conditions, and certain types of roots have the ability to continue growing at water potentials lower than those that inhibit growth of ...
Lipids play a crucial and tightly regulated cellular role as the major component of membranes. They are also critical for both cellular and physiological energy homeostasis. Pools of both membrane ...
Cell polarization is a fundamental feature of almost all cellular organisms. Stem cell asymmetric division in the stomatal lineage requires a polarized plant-specific, non-membrane protein BASL ...
Plant-associated microbial communities play crucial roles in determining the host phenotype. A subset of the plant-associated bacteria and fungi offer benefits to crop species through increasing ...
Salvatore Calabrese is an assistant professor of Biological & Agricultural Engineering of Plant Sciences at Texas A&M University. The Rosa Lab hosts his seminar As global warming and shifting rainfall ...
