The speaker, Yvon Jaillais (DR CNRS) from the Laboratoire Reproduction et Développement des Plantes (Lyon, France) will present a seminar entitled:
"Anionic phospholipids across scales: from plasma membrane nanodomains to plant development"
Abstract
Membrane lipids are not only building blocks of membranes; they also act as signaling relays within these biological interfaces. Membranes are incredibly dynamic with constant molecular exchanges between compartments. In addition, lipids laterally diffuse in the plane of the bilayer. Local differences in lipid diffusion generate membrane domains that can be as small as a few nanometers or up to an entire face of the cell. In this talk, I will describe the strategies that we are employing to study the localization of anionic phospholipids, describe their dynamic behavior, and test their function in development.

IECB Seminars Series
The IECB Seminars Series will initially be held monthly, on the first Friday of each month at 11:00 am (unless there are diary conflicts or public holidays). The aim of these seminars, which focus on chemistry and biology, is interdisciplinarity.
