Welcome to the relaunch of the GARNet Community podcast! We aim to send out a short weekly podcast in which we chat to a researcher about a latest publication. These will be audio-only podcast without any associated YouTube video. Over the coming weeks we will discuss new papers with Charlotte Kirchelle at the University of[...]

Marcel Bach-Pages works with Gail Preston at the University of Oxford and we discuss a new protocol to identify the RNA-Binding Proteome from Arabidopsis leaves. This community-focused work includes full instructions for use of the protocol and they provide an accessible list of proteins that they have identified. This research is published in Biomolecules and[...]

Marcel Bach-Pages describes the plant RNA Interactome Capture Method

Christos Velanis works at the University of Edinburgh and discusses work published in PloS Genetics entitled ‘The domesticated transposase ALP2 mediates formation of a novel Polycomb protein complex by direct interaction with MSI1, a core subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2)‘. http://blog.garnetcommunity.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Velanis_edit-13072020-09.32.mp3 Pumi Perera is co-first author on this work from the Goodrich lab[...]

Christos Velanis discusses the polycomb group complex, domesticated transposons and the future of scientific funding.

Al Ware (University of Nottingham) and Catriona Walker (University of Leeds) discuss a recent paper published in Nature Plants entitled ‘Auxin export from proximal fruits drives arrest in temporally competent inflorescences’. We chat about auxin, mind-numbing phenotyping and local arrest of flowering.

Catriona Walker and Al Ware discuss Arresting Flowers

Nicol Caplin who worked at the University of the West of England discusses a paper in Frontier in Plant Science entitled ‘Developmental, Morphological and Physiological Traits in Plants Exposed for Five Generations to Chronic Low-Level Ionising Radiation‘. Nicol nows work for the European Space Agency so we also speculate about the relevance of her work[...]

Nicol Caplin discusses ionising radiation and plants in space!

Sam Wilson from Queen Mary University of London discusses a recent paper in Plant Physiology entitled ‘Rethinking the influence of chloroplast movements on non-photochemical quenching and photoprotection‘. In this research they take a fresh look at the relationship between chloroplast movements and photoprotection.
