Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Development is remarkably reproducible, producing organs with the same size, shape, and function repeatedly from individual to individual. Yet, these reproducible organs are composed of highly variable cells. My laboratory focuses on the mechanisms that produce diversity in cell size in the Arabidopsis leaf and sepal (outermost green leaf-like floral organ) and the mechanisms that ensure the same size and shape leaves and sepals are produced from these variably sized cells. Today I will tell you three short stories about the variable organ size2 (vos2) mutant and how it disrupts the reproducibility of sepal sizes by disrupting translation, about the jaw-d mutant and how it disrupts leaf flatness, and about the asymmetric division of the moss apical cell and how it generates the spiral pattern of leaves (phyllids).
