DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Ottoline Leyser\nhosted by Eva Benkova\nAbstract: Anim
 als adjust to the environment in which they are living by modifying their 
 behavior\, a process co-ordinated centrally in the brain. Plants are equal
 ly environmentally responsive\, with many of these responses involve adjus
 tments in growth and development. Because of this\, two genetically identi
 cal plants growing in different environments can look very different from 
 one another. The regulation and co-ordination of environmental responses i
 n plants happens without a brain and indeed without any co-ordinating cent
 re. Instead\, mounting evidence suggests a role for an elegant system of i
 nteracting long range chemical signals that move throughout the plant\, ba
 lancing growth between the root and shoot\, and across the root and shoot 
 systems\, through self-organising competition\, with reinforcement\, betwe
 en growing tips. Understanding how this system works has important implica
 tions for predicting plant responses to the environment\, and particularly
  for breeding plants adapted to agricultural environments.\n
