SPEAKERS Sorted by last name

	Elena Baena-Gonzalez University of Oxford We are interested in understanding how energy signalling via the SnRK1 protein kinase drives changes in metabolism, growth and development. I will be discussing our latest findings on how SnRK1 is regulated and how it intersects with developmental programs.

	Diane C. Bassham Iowa State University, USA

	Wolfgang Busch Salk Institute for Biological Studies I am interested in engineering plant root system architecture and we are studying how to engineer resource allocation and energy pathways for maximizing root depth, biomass and chemical composition.

	Federica Brandizzi MSU DOE-Plant Research Lab, Michigan State University My lab investigates the role of plant endomembranes in controlling growth and stress responses. In this context, we have established a link between proteostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum and TOR activity that controls growth.

	Maria Esther Pérez-Pérez Scientific Research Centre "Isla de la Cartuja" \| cicCartuja · Institute of Plant Biochemistry and Photosynthesis, Spain

	Johannes Hanson Umeå Plant Science Centre, Dept. Plant Physiology, Umeå University, Sweden I’m interested in how energy signing affect translation of mRNA. Using Ribo-Seq we have identified gene specific translational regulation in response to changes in TOR activity.

	Anne Krapp IJPB \| Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin, an INRAE research unit My research interest lies in an integrative approach to plant physiology using recent techniques of molecular biology and biochemistry to better understand the mechanisms that determine agricultural production.

	Ashverya Laxmi National Institute of Plant Genome Research, New Delhi, India My research interests include understanding the role of TOR and SnRK1 signaling in regulating plant growth, development and stress responses.

	Jelle Van Leene, Belgium VIB – UGENT, Center for Plant Systems Biology

	Benoit Menand CEA, CNRS, Aix-Marseille Université · Biosciences and Biotechnologies Institute of Aix-Marseille, France My research focus on how the eucaryotic TOR kinase regulates plant growth. My team has developped a pharmacogentic strategy to identify new important members of the TOR pathway like the kinase YAK1

	Christian Meyer Institut Jean-Pierre Bourgin (IJPB), INRAE-AgroParisTech-Université Paris-Saclay 78000 Versailles, France We are interested in finding new components of the plant TOR signaling pathway. Using genetic and physiological approaches, we have identified and characterized putative TOR partners.

	Salomé Prat CRAG Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics, Spain

	Filip Rolland KU Leuven, Belgium

	Hatem Rouached The Plant Resilience Institute, Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA. The Rouached Lab applies systems genetics to understand how plants detect, interpret, and adapt to various nutrient signals to regulate growth, including the ARSK1-TOR signaling pathway.

	Gabriela Toledo-Ortiz,UK The James Hutton Institute, Scottland, UK

	Mikhail Schepetilnikov IBMP CNRS, Strasbourg France We explore the molecular mechanisms of TOR-mediated translational control in normal cell growth and stress adaptation.
