Congress

Dear Readers,

At the end of August, the Hungarian Society of Plant Biology organized its 12th Congress in Szeged. Certainly we participated in it and our group presented three posters and a lecture.

One poster showed data about selenium-induced morphological responses of the root system and the possible involvement of nitric oxide, ethylene and strigolactones in this process.

The poster prepared and presented by Dr. Zsuzsanna Kolbert

Another poster presented data on our rhizotron study. It showed results of zinc effect on Brassica root growth.

The poster prepared and presented by Dr. Gábor Feigl

Árpád Molnár, PhD student gave a lecture about the relationship between selenium toxicity and protein tyrosine nitration (based on his recently accepted paper). Also, Dr. Réka Szőllősi prepared a poster about the effect of selenium on root tissue morphology in selenium hyperaccumulator and non-accumulator Astragalus species.

Conference participants:

The Congress is over, the summer is over and the students are here :)
