[2016 Spring Life Sciences & IBB Regular Seminar] ▶Subject: Post-translationally modified peptides, receptor kinases and phosphatases shape the plant ▶Speaker: Prof. Ive de Smet (VIB Ghent University) ▶Date: 4:00PM/May. 20(Fri.)/2016 ▶Place: Auditorium(1F), Postech Biotech Center *Abctract Cell-cell communication plays a crucial role in plant growth and development and relies to a large extent on peptide ligand?receptor kinase signalling mechanisms (Czyzewicz, et al., 2013; De Smet, et al., 2009; Murphy & De Smet, 2014; Murphy, et al., 2012; Tavormina, et al., 2015). Over 600 receptor-like kinase genes have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana and similar or even higher numbers were found in other plant species (Lehti-Shiu, et al., 2009; Shiu, et al., 2004; Shiu & Bleecker, 2001; Liu, et al., 2002). Over 1000 potential small signalling peptide sequences are present in the Arabidopsis genome. However, to date, a mere handful of small signalling peptides have been functionally characterised and few have been linked to a receptor. Here, I will present our latest results on selected small signalling peptides and receptor kinases, and connect those with regulatory phosphatases ▶Inquiry: Prof. Hwang, Il-Doo (279-2291) * This seminar will be given in English. please refrain from taking photos during seminars. *
