Title: Plant Metabolomics Laboratory: a three year journey at ITQB NOVA
Speaker: Carla António
Affiliation: Carla António Lab - Plant Metabolomics
Abstract:
Established at ITQB NOVA in August 2013, the Plant Metabolomics Lab aims at addressing interesting biological questions related to plant environment and agriculture using highly sensitive mass spectrometry (MS)-based analytical technologies. Dissecting global environmental/plant-attacker interactions that adversely affect plant growth and development through changes occurring at the metabolite level (i.e. metabolic reconfiguration and adaptation) is fundamental in current plant biotechnology programs and provides essential tools for coping with the adding negative effects of climate change in agriculture, breeding and food security. In this seminar, I will present key milestones accomplished by the team during the course of this three-year period, while settling “up” plant metabolomics strategies at ITQB NOVA.
