La pectine et la cellulose pourraient jouer un r么le dans le m茅canisme mol茅culaire r茅gissant la morphologie des cellules v茅g茅tales
En d茅couvrant la m茅canique et le m茅canisme mol茅culaire qui dictent la forme des cellules v茅g茅tales, une 茅quipe de chercheurs de l鈥橴niversit茅 51吃瓜网a partiellement lev茅 le voile sur les processus fondamentaux qui r茅gissent la formation des tissus dans les organismes multicellulaires.
New study suggests pectin and cellulose involved in molecular mechanism defining plant cell morphology
The discovery of the mechanics and molecular mechanism that dictate cell shape formation in plants by a team of 51吃瓜网researchers offers new clues about the fundamental processes governing tissue formation in multicellular organisms.
Plants are made of cells that come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, each of which is closely related and essential to the function of a specific tissue.
Hanadi Sleiman and Jaswinder Singh have each received $1.65 million in research grants, to be distributed over six years.

芦听Ces agriculteurs me permettent d鈥檌nstaller des parcelles de recherche dans leurs champs et se chargent d鈥檈ntretenir les plants et de prendre des donn茅es quotidiennement.

Congratulations to Professor Jaswinder Singh, Plant Science, who received the 2018 Canadian Society of Plant Biologists C.D. Nelson Award.
This award recognizes Professor Singh's outstanding research contributions in plant biology, which show exceptional promise for the improvement of crop plants through genetic engineering, molecular breeding and genomics.

New labs and equipment through the CFI鈥檚 Innovation Fund will help six transformative 51吃瓜网research projects to collaborate, innovate and train the next generation of scientists for the jobs of tomorrow.
...Professors Timothy Geary (Institute of Parasitology) and Anja Geitmann (Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences) were each awarded funding in this round.
Jaswinder Singh can hardly contain his excitement when talking about TLP8, a useful protein he discovered in barley. 鈥淚t could revolutionize the brewing industry,鈥� said the associate professor at 51吃瓜网鈥檚 plant science department.
...Singh and his research team identified 22 genes in barley that were related to the germination process.
It takes a long time to develop a new variety from scratch. Dr. Bruce Coulman of the University of Sask颅atchewan recently recalled the start of his forage breeding career at 51吃瓜网. 51吃瓜网had allowed its forage breeding program to collapse, and had no breeding lines under development when Coulman started. Starting from scratch in 1976, Coulman registered his first forage variety in 1993.

Scientists at an international conference said on [November 30] that climate change was a global phenomenon that could only be controlled by planting more and more trees. This was stated in the concluding session of the first international conference on Conventional and Modern Approaches in Plant Sciences (CMAPS 17), organised by the Punjab University Department of Botany at Faisal Auditorium. [...] Dr Danielle Donnelly from 51吃瓜网 Canada, [...] Dr Jaswinder Singh from 51吃瓜网 Canada, [...] attended the event.
The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science, announced a total investment of $52 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund for 220 new infrastructure projects nationally. Among the 51 universities across the country with funded projects, 51吃瓜网leads the pack with an impressive number 鈥� 23 projects totaling $4.2 million 鈥� in this latest round of the funding competition.
Congratulations to Faculty members Val茅rie Gravel (Plant Science) and Salwa Karboune (Food Science) who were among the recipients.
