SUMMARY:Frontiers in Genomics:  Wolfgang Busch Decoding Root Growth to Mitigate Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Decoding Root Growth to Mitigate Climate Change \nClimate change will soon profoundly and negatively affect the vast majority of our planet’s biota\, including most human beings. Despite the importance and urgency of addressing this problem\, we still lack technologies to globally address the root cause of climate change – increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. Since plants are central agents in the earth’s carbon cycle\, fixing atmospheric carbon that then mostly gets released when they decompose\, engineering plant traits that affect the decomposition rate of plant derived carbon molecules can potentially lead to a large and globally significant drawdown of atmospheric CO2. In particular\, root systems and the rhizosphere are of interest for such approaches as soils are enormous carbon sinks. Since plants first colonized the earth’s land surfaces\, their carbon depositions have built up three times more carbon in the soil than is contained in the atmosphere. Specific root traits are important contributors to the accumulation and permanence of carbon in the soil. These include root depth\, root biomass and the levels of refractory carbon compounds in root tissues. I will present our efforts in using natural variation\, genome wide association mapping\, chemical genetics and functional genomics approaches in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and several crop species to identify genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate these traits and attempt to utilize this knowledge to enhance traits relating to carbon accumulation and permanence in soils. \nWolfgang Busch\,	Professor\, Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory\, Integrative Biology Laboratory\, Hess Chair in Plant Science\, Salk Institute \nhttps://www.salk.edu/scientist/wolfgang-busch/ \nFrontiers in Genomics

SUMMARY:Frontiers in Genomics:  Raquel Cuevas-Díaz Durán Non-coding RNAs and DNA regions are important regulators of gene expression in cells of the central nervous system
DESCRIPTION:Raquel Cuevas-Díaz Durán\,	School of Medicine and Health Sciences\, ITESM \nhttps://research.tec.mx/vivo-tec/display/PID_66289 \nResumen de la ponencia \nThe nervous system of multicellular organisms comprises highly specialized cells which perform distinct physiological functions. Even though they possess nearly identical genomic DNA\, their spatio-temporal heterogeneity is achieved through epigenetic mechanisms\, for example DNA methylation\, histone post-transcriptional modifications\, chromatin remodeling\, non-coding regions of the DNA\, and non-coding transcripts. These regulatory mechanisms are fundamental for the physiology of nervous system cells and their dysregulation is involved in neurodegenerative disorders. In this seminar we will focus on transcriptional regulation driven by long non-coding RNAs\, histone modifications\, chromatin accessibility\, and enhancers in cells of the central nervous system. We will discuss the application of different omics approaches for studying these regulatory mechanisms.  \nFrontiers in Genomics
