Dr Justin Walley and team study molecular mechanisms connecting plant stress and growth
ISU researchers are piecing together the genetic mechanisms that link plant growth and stress response. In a new paper, the research group links autophagy, an important energy recycling function, with slower growth during stress conditions. Autophagy plays a key role in animals as well as plants.

Baum lab hosts multi-state nematology meeting
The Baum lab recently hosted a meeting with research groups from several universities throughout the United States. Our collaborative groups hold these meetings annually to discuss recent advances in the field of molecular plant-parasitic nematology. Our groups work closely with one another, and meetings like these allow our groups to work more efficiently by bringing the researchers conducting the work together for productive discussions of progress being made in each lab, trouble-shooting and long-range planning. The next meeting is scheduled for 2015 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
