--- res: bibo_abstract: - The third EMBO Conference on Plant Molecular Biology, which focused on ‘Plant development and environmental interactions’,was held in May 2012 in Matera, Italy. Here, we review some of the topics and themes that emerged from the various contributions; namely, steering technologies, transcriptional networks and hormonal regulation, small RNAs, cell and tissue polarity, environmental control and natural variation. We intend to provide the reader who might have missed this remarkable event with a glimpse of the recent progress made in this blossoming research field.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Tom foaf_name: Beeckman, Tom foaf_surname: Beeckman - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jirí foaf_name: Friml, Jirí foaf_surname: Friml foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=4159519E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-8302-7596 bibo_doi: 10.1242/dev.080861 bibo_issue: '20' bibo_volume: 139 dct_date: 2012^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Company of Biologists@ dct_title: Plant developmental biologists meet on stairways in Matera@ ...
