DESCRIPTION:Plant Science Seminar\, live on Zoom. Juan Carlos Camargo Tavar
 es\, PhD Research Proposal\n\nThe impact of climate change is already tang
 ible around the globe. In Canada\, the unpredictability of extreme weather
  events such as frost\, poses concerns as it can negatively affect crop pr
 oduction. Research into cold tolerant plants are therefore of great import
 ance. In the present study\, arctic and temperate growing members of the O
 xytropis genus (Fabaceae) are used as model system to find molecular mecha
 nisms behind cold tolerant plants. Two Oxytropis genome sequences will be 
 assembled and annotated\, one from an arctic species (O. arctobia) and the
  second from a temperate species (O. splendens). Cold transcriptome profil
 ing will be performed on these cold-tolerant plants and the new genome seq
 uences will be used as references to analyze the data. Novel cis-regulator
 y motifs will be predicted by analyzing the promoter sequences of cold-ind
 uced genes. Finally\, previously generated reporter-gene constructs that c
 ontain promoters of the cold-inducible KS dehydrin gene from O. splendens 
 and the promoter from its constitutive orthologue in O. arctobia\, will be
  tested in the model legume Lotus japonicus to identify the putative regul
 atory motifs that trigger the induction of the gene.\n\nTO PARTICIPATE...
