Marc Libault, associate professor, Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, UNL, will present “A Multiomic Approach at the Single Cell Level to Better Understand the Transcriptional Regulation of Plant Genes.” How the plant genome is regulated, organized, and expressed to produce different cell types is arguably one of the grand challenges in biology. Using state-of-the-art single-cell methodologies, the Libault lab is interested in characterizing cell-type-specific transcriptomic programs, their level of conservation between plant species, their dynamic regulation in response to environmental stresses, and the impact of chromatin accessibility in regulating these programs.

Refreshments will be served at 3 pm.
