报告题目：Recognition of“self’: Uncovering what regulates self-incompatibility in Papaver using transgenic Arabidopsisas a “poppydopsis’ SI-PCD model system
报告人：Noni Franklin-Tong 教授
报告人简介：
Vernonica (Noni) Franklin-Tong FRS was born in London, U.K. She received her BSc in Biological Sciences (1982) and PhD in Genetics (1986) from the University of Birmingham, UK. She spent most of her career there and is currently Emeritus professor of Cell Biology and Research fellow. She was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2021. Her research output includes >100 papers published in refereed journals. Publications include Nature, Science, PNAS, Current Biology as well as more specialist journals such as Nature Plants, Plant Cell, Plant Journal, Plant Physiology, New Phytologist, Molecular Plant etc. She has also written several /News & Views/Opinion/Dispatch articles for prominent journals such as Nature, Current Biology, Nature Plants. She edited a book on self-incompatibility (2008); this was the first monograph on this topic for 30 years. She has contributed chapters in Encyclopaedia of Life sciences: eLS (wiley.com) and Brenners Encyclopaedia of Genetics. She has published 14 chapters in books and >40 invited reviews.Noni has devoted her career to investigating cellular mechanisms involved in the regulation of the cell-cell recognition system of self-incompatibility (SI) in Papaver rhoeas (the Field Poppy). SI plays a decisive role in determining flowering plant reproductive success by preventing inbreeding through recognition and inhibition of “self” pollen. Noni’s studies over several decades have uncovered an intricate intracellular signalling network. This has revolutionized our understanding of the signals, downstream targets and key cellular processes that regulate SI, revealing new phenomena critical to this process, culminating in programmed cell death. In addition, transfer of the Papaver S-determinants into Arabidopsis achieved the first functional trans-genera transfer of a SI system. This has potential implications for translational work in the future.
