Seminario de Investigación IMAB: Polyamine catabolism in plant development and defense responses

por Dr. Paraskevi Tavladoraki

El próximo Viernes 5 de febrero a las 10:00h se celebra el Seminario de Investigación del IMAB titulado: "Polyamine catabolism in plant development and defense responses". Se trata de un seminario que se desarrollará virtual utilizando la plataforma ZOOM.

Resumen: 

Polyamines are catabolized by two families of amine oxidases, the copper amine oxidases and the FAD-dependent polyamine oxidases. These enzymes differ in substrate specificity, catalytic mechanism and subcellular localization. Here, information on the biochemical properties, subcellular localization and expression pattern of these enzymes will be summarized. Also, advances in understanding their mode of regulation and function, as well as their crosstalk with different intracellular and extracellular metabolic pathways and developmental programs will be discussed. Key areas of future research will be additionally addressed.

Dr. Paraskevi Tavladoraki is Associate Professor of Plant Physiology and Biotechnology in Department of Science, University Roma Tre (Italy). Her research deals with antibody production in transgenic plants, physiological, biochemical and molecular studies on plant development and defense responses, among other topics.
