Upcoming Events

Dr. Eliana Gonzales-Vigil, associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Toronto-Scarborough, will present "Two stories on the importance of using natural genetic diversity for the study of plant specialized metabolism." Plants are sessile organisms that must defend themselves against multiple environmental stressors without the ability to move. Instead, part of their defence relies on an intricate chemical language composed of specialized metabolites, which play crucial roles in ecological interactions, for example deterring invading insects or...
