Rishi Bhalerao (Umea, Sweden) will give a seminar on Tuesday April 22 in the "grande salle CBP LR6" at 1:30 pm.

" Survival of perennial plants, including long-lived trees, depends on their ability to adapt to seasonal changes in environmental conditions. These plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to sense changes in environmental conditions and modulate their growth and development accordingly. The first project in my lab focuses on understanding how perennial plants sense the changing environmental conditions, by analysing the molecular basis of short-day-induced growth cessation and dormancy in hybrid aspen. The second project is focused on understanding how cell elongation is regulated in plants."
