Title: Rich Genomics Resources Facilitate Progress in Understanding Wood Formation
Speaker: Gerald A. Tuskan
Affiliation: Oak Ridge National Laboratory, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute
Host: Célia Miguel, Forest Biotech Lab
Gerald Tuskan is the Group Leader of the Plant Systems Biology Group, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Distinguished Scientist in the BioSciences Division. The Plant Systems Biology Group seeks to explore and understand the network of genes, proteins, metabolites, and environmental signals that lead to complex phenotypes in DOE-relevant plant species. The group applies its expertise in plant physiology, development and evolution along with application of transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, molecular genetics, spectroscopy, imaging and bioinformatics approaches to studying plant models ranging from perennial dicots and monocots, (Populus, Switchgrass, Brachypodium and Agave) to annuals (Arabidopsis) to mosses. The current research portfolio includes projects centering on topics of bioenergy research, carbon fixation, allocation and cycling, responses to climate change, plant-microbe interaction and neutron and radiochemistry-based chemical in vivo imaging.
