Session Organisers

Session Description
Proteostasis, the accurate and timely synthesis, folding, trafficking and degradation of proteins in response to physiologic and stress-related cues, maintains a fully functional proteome and is critical for life and health. All organisms dedicate a large part of their genome and resources to highly conserved protein quality control (PQC) processes: protein synthesis and folding are controlled at the ribosome; molecular chaperones survey the entire intra- and extra-cellular proteome for damaged proteins; and the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosome systems (UPS and ALS) govern degradation. Signalling pathways link physiologic and stress-related cues to changes in protein fate to orchestrate appropriate biological responses. This session will bring together experts in this field to scope put the latest developments in cellular proteostasis research
C1 - Biomolecular Condensates in Plants
Monika Chodasiewicz
Session Description
Biomolecular condensates are very novel topic in plant field. There is growing community with the interest in this unknown field. The session will be on condensates in the cell that are form at different stages. They might be involved in stress response or adaptation, but also they might be related with developmental transitions. In addition, there might be talks on condensates that are regulating translation or transcription, as well as any other processes in the cell.
C3 - Tip growth in Plant Biology
Session Organisers
Prof. Kris Vissenberg
Prof. Jose Feijo
Session Description
Tip growth is a process that diverse walled cells such as pollen tubes, root hairs, moss protonemata and fungal hyphae have in common. Due to the diversity of the experimental systems, it is unusual for those working on the phenomenon to have the opportunity to get together and compare systems and concepts. The aim of this session is to provide an overview on recent advances in the molecular, physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying tip growth, but other aspects of cell polarity establishment and maintenance as well as trafficking, cytoskeleton remodelling, signaling and biophysics will be covered.
