Signaling pathways controlling the emergence of Arabidopsis seedlings from the soil

On July 4th at 11:00 AM, in Room 3 of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, the seminar entitled
“Signaling pathways controlling the emergence of Arabidopsis seedlings from the soil”
will be held by Dr. Livia Merendino, researcher at the Institut des Sciences des Plantes de Paris-Saclay (IPS2), Orsay, France.

During the seminar, Dr. Merendino will present the results of her research on the molecular mechanisms that regulate the emergence of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings from the soil.

The talk will offer an overview of the signaling pathways and transcription factors involved in the plant’s response to the mechanical pressure exerted by the soil, and how these regulatory systems enable seedlings to orient themselves, adapt, and survive under often unfavorable conditions.

The event, organized by the Institute of Plant Science of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, is open to all interested participants — students, PhD candidates, faculty, and researchers — who wish to deepen their understanding of plant development and the processes governing plant-environment interactions from the very earliest stages of growth.
