OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
In temperate and boreal regions, trees adapt to growth at different latitudes by strictly regulating their annual growth cycle. Through an integration of photoperiodic and temperature cues they control the timing of their entry into, and exit from, winter dormancy. Ove and colleagues are studying the central role of Aspen tree homologs of the Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) genes in this process and the importance of gene duplications and sub-functionalization. Ove will also provide a short update about the progress of a large Swedish project generating new reference genomes for Norway spruce and Scots pine.
