Mini-symposium: Metals, plants, and people (KOROLID)

Mini-symposium: Metals, plants, and people (KOROLID)
Place: Biology centre CAS, Institute of Plant Molecular Biology - main lecture room
Date: 17.08.2017 15:00 - 19.08.2017 13:00
Type: Konference
Intended for: scientists

Mini-symposium (August 17th - 19th) on metals in photosynthetic organisms - aimed at bringing together existing and (potential) future members and cooperation partners on the KOROLID grant. Registrations and "last minute" poster contributions are still welcome on e-mail Hendrik.Kuepper@umbr.cas.cz, preferably till 6th August.

Project KOROLID is focused on the metabolism of metals, i.e. how plants absorb metals, how they transport, store and use metals, and how they deal with deficiency and toxicity of metals. In the future, the scientific results may contribute to more effective environmental risks estimates as well as to improvements in agriculture (better targeted fertilization and crop breeding) and last but not least, phytoremediation, ie. the technologies that use living plants to clean up the polluted soil and water resources contaminated with toxic metals. Knowledge of the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms in plants will also help to understand the function of metals in other organisms, including humans.
