Check out this special Science issue on Plant Metabolism
Peruse more than 10 reviews, reports, perspectives, and even a podcast to learn about some of the most recent high impact research on medicinal compounds, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, hormonal modifications, metabolic pathway diversification and evolution, and much more . . .
Then meet with a PMN curator one-on-one at the Outreach Booth (215) during the ASPB Plant Biology 2012 conference.
Additional PMN learning opportunities:
Rev up your plant metabolism excitement by watching or listening to Episode 78 of This Week in Science and Education where the PMN's very own Dr. Sue Rhee describes how plant biochemical pathways are the Engine of Life!
Please come hear Dr. Sue Rhee, the PI of the PMN project, as she describes genome-wide molecular networks at the Plant Genome Evolution conference in Amsterdam on Tuesday, September 6.
Interested in Plant Metabolic Engineering?
There are two great chances to delve into this topic in July 2011!
(July 23-24)
(July 24-29)
There are many ways to connect with a PMN curator at the Plant and Animal Genome XIX Conference in San Diego, California. You can attend a computer demo featuring speakers from three groups who provide plant metabolic pathway databases, read our poster, or get one-on-one help at the Plant Genome DB Outreach Consortium booth
Sunday, January 16, 3:50 PM
Please come watch an amazing and enormous Amorphophallus titanum flower bloom . . . and be thankful that you can't smell it.
Many researchers and students from around the world had a chance to see PMN presentations and posters at conferences and universities during the summer of 2009.
July 27-31 San Pedro, Costa Rica
July 18 - 22, Honolulu, HI
An important part of the PMN mandate is to encourage interactions and data exchange within the metabolic research community. So, please come meet the PMN staff, give us feedback, and learn about how PMN can help your research at the following conferences in the summer of 2008:
Members of the PMN welcomed collaborators from the University of Calgary (David Liscombe, Jeorg Ziegler, Peter Facchini), the Canadian National Research Council - Plant Biotechnology Institute (Dustin Cram, Jonathan Page (via WebX)), and Cornell University (Anuradha Pujar) to an organizational meeting and curatorial jamboree. The Carnegie Canada cross-border cooperative effort will seek to improve our understanding of the metabolism of two plants with great pharmcalogical value: Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) and Cannabis sativa (marijuana, hemp).
