BIDDER LECTURE

Andrew Cossins is an integrative animal physiologist with research interests in stress physiology of vertebrates. After a PhD with Ken Bowler at Durham University, UK, in 1974 he spent two postdoctoral years at the University of Illinois, USA, working with Ladd Prosser, one of the great figures in comparative animal physiology. In 1976 he returned to Cambridge, UK, to work on membrane-linked addiction syndromes with Alex Bangham FRS, the discoverer of liposomes. In 1977 he moved to the University of Liverpool, where he has remained to this day. Andrew is best known for his early biophysical demonstrations of ‘homeoviscous’ membrane adaptations by fish to temperature and abyssal pressures through manipulation of lipid unsaturation. His Liverpool group cloned the first fish∆ 9-desaturase in carp and showed its graded induction during cold conditioning. More recently, they have been in the vanguard of genome-wide screening technologies, with a series of array-based, genome-wide studies of gene responses to ecotox, disease tolerance, hibernation, heat & cold, hypoxia, notably including the discovery of non- muscle myoglobin in fish. He was involved with the UK Environmental Genomics initiative for NERC 2000-2005, and chaired both the Genome-to-Systems Conference series in 2003-2008 and the Consortium for Post- Andrew Cossins Genome Sciences, and is a founding Director of the Centre for Genomic Research at Liverpool, (University of Liverpool) now part of the UK National Infrastructure. He has published widely including in Science, PNAS, Circulation, and News & Views, Nature. He was a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of Science (2007-2010), is a Director of the Company of Biologists (2009-present) and until recently was Head of the Institute of Integrative Biology, Liverpool. He was awarded the SEB President’s Medal in 1986 and was the convenor of the SEB Thermobiology Group from 1997 – 2002.

WOOLHOUSE LECTURE

Andrew Millar grew up in Luxembourg and studied Genetics at Cambridge University. He began working on biological rhythms in 1988 during his Ph.D. with Nam-Hai Chua at The Rockefeller University. After postdoctoral research with Steve Kay and Gene Block at the NSF Center for Biological Timing in Virginia, he joined University of Warwick in 1996. He collaborated with Matthew Turner and David Rand on modelling the clock, starting his interest in Systems and Synthetic Biology. After joining the University of Edinburgh in 2005, he was the co-founder of SynthSys in 2007 and PI of its BBSRC/EPSRC award. He was also PI for GARNet, which represents the UK‘s Arabidopsis research community (2004-2009). Andrew was recently elected an EMBO member, FRS and FRSE. The biological clock generates 24-hour rhythms that synchronise many biological processes with day and night, from the cell cycle to the sleep-wake cycle. The circuit of interconnected clock genes has become one of the paradigms for understanding dynamic biological regulation. Andrew’s laboratory uses experimental and theoretical approaches to understand its principles, mechanisms and the physiological importance of daily and seasonal timing. The Framework Model (Chew et al., PNAS 2014) that predicts Arabidopsis growth and flowering time is one Andrew Miller output from our Systems Biology projects (EU FP7 TiMet; BBSRC/EPSRC ROBuST, led by Karen (SynthSys, University of Edinburgh) Halliday). We also study a non-transcriptional clock in the alga Ostreococcus tauri, which might be shared in all domains of life (O’Neill et al., Nature 2011; van Ooijen et al., Curr. Biol. 2012; Edgar et al., Nature 2012).

CELL SECTION PLENARY LECTURE John Oxford is Emeritus Professor of Virology at Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry. He is Founder of Retroscreen Virology Ltd and Oxford Media and Medicine Ltd. He has co-authored two standard texts: ‘Influenza, the Viruses and the Disease with Sir Charles Stuart-Harris and G.C. Schild and most recently ‘Human Virology, a Text for Students of Medicine, Dentistry and Microbiology’ with L. Collier and P. Kellam now in its fourth edition, published by Oxford University Press. Professor Oxford has also published 300 scientific papers. His research interest is the pathogenicity of influenza, in particular the origin and nature of 1918 Spanish Influenza strain, which he combines with conducting clinical trials using new influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs. This research has been featured on Science TV programmes recently in the UK, USA, Germany and Holland. He was awarded communicator for the year for the influenza pandemic by the Society of Applied Microbiology and top communicator by the Society of Journalists and placed amongst the 1000 most influential Londoners by the Independent and Evening Standard newspapers. He has recently been awarded a D.Sc for his research work on virology and as a science communicator, and elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (FRCPE).

PRESIDENT’S MEDALISTS

The SEB President’s Medals are awarded annually to young scientists of outstanding merit. The awards will be presented at the Cell Section Plenary Lecture on the 3rd of July. There is one award per section of the Society (Animal; Cell; Plant; Education & Public Affairs). Our congratulations to the winners of the 2015 SEB President’s Medal awards! They are:

ANIMAL SECTION

Jonathan Stecyk is an assistant professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alaska Anchorage. After receiving a B.Sc. with distinction from Augustana University College (1999), a small liberal arts university in a small Canadian prairie town, Dr. Stecyk ventured to the big city to Dr. Tony Farrell’s laboratory at Simon Fraser University to conduct a M.Sc. (2002) on the cardiorespiratory responses of the common carp to hypoxia. Immensely enjoying the experience, Dr. Stecyk remained in Dr. Farrell’s laboratory for his Ph.D. (2007; University of British Columbia), which focused on elucidating cardiovascular control in the anoxia-tolerant freshwater turtle. The dissertation was awarded the 2008 Cameron Award by the Canadian Society of Zoologists for the best Canadian zoology thesis. Dr. Stecyk’s doctoral research path took him to the laboratories of distinguished European researchers (Prof. Göran Nilsson, University of Oslo, Norway; Prof. Hans-Otto Pörtner, Alfred-Wegener Institute, Germany; Prof. Matti Vornanen, University of Joensuu, Finland; and Prof. Tobias Wang, Aarhus University, Denmark) where he gained numerous valuable insights into how to successfully conduct science and formed a number of long-lasting friendships. Dr. Stecyk is extremely grateful for these opportunities. Upon completing his Ph.D., Dr. Stecyk moved to Norway to conduct two bouts of post-doctoral training in the laboratory of Prof. Göran Nilsson, interspersed by a post-doctoral Jonathan Stecyk fellowship at the University of Alberta. Dr. Stecyk’s post-doctoral years were highlighted by (University of Alaska Anchorage) memorable expeditions to Namibia to study how a goby can live in toxic mud, and Papua New Guinea and the Great Barrier Reef to investigate the effects of climate change on the physiology of tropical reef fish. Current research in the Stecyk laboratory is supported by a NIH INBRE award and is directed towards many interesting questions of vertebrate physiology, ranging from the molecular and cellular mechanisms of intrinsic heart rate control to how the only air-breathing fish in the Arctic copes with winters under ice. Dr. Stecyk is grateful to all of his supervisors, mentors and collaborators for their support and friendship and always looks forward to the SEB Annual Main Meeting to catch up with them and brainstorm new exciting research endeavors.

PLANT SECTION

Wolfgang studied biology at the University of Tübingen. During a research semester at the UC San Diego, he realized the power of genome-scale approaches and computational biology to help understand fundamental biological questions. After returning to Tübingen, he completed his studies in 2004 with a diploma thesis dissecting the regulation of the heat shock response in Arabidopsis on a genome-wide scale using heat shock factor mutants and microarrays. Inspired by the power of genome-scale approaches and wanting to understand the molecular bases of plant development, he started his PhD thesis in the department of Detlef Weigel at the MPI in Tübingen, supervised by Jan Lohmann. There he identified novel key regulatory genes and modules for stem cell control via a novel approach integrating transcriptome- and genome-scale transcription factor-DNA binding data. Meanwhile, cell-type specific transcriptome atlases from roots had been produced in the laboratory of Philip Benfey at Duke University. Impressed by the opportunities that these resources provided, Wolfgang started his postdoctoral research there in 2008. During this time, he contributed to the discovery of spatiotemporally defined regulatory modules that control proliferation of stem cells and differentiation in the root, and used high- throughput confocal microscopy to capture dynamic features of gene expression. In 2011, he became group leader at the Gregor Mendel Institute where he seeks to comprehend how plant Wolfgang Busch growth and development are quantitatively regulated at the molecular level. By combining (Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant developmental and systems biology with GWAS into a systems genetics approach, his group has Biology) uncovered several novel genes and molecular mechanisms that quantitatively tune root growth.

CELL SECTION

Susan works at the interface between physics and biology. Her interest in working between disciplines started with her PhD at Cambridge, where she tuned the behaviour of materials which she imaged with transmission electron microscopy. She then studied the transport properties of materials during a Seaborg Fellowship at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Returning to microscopy in a different context, she joined Rainer Heintzmann’s group at King’s College London, and in 2011 was appointed as a Royal Society University Research Fellow. The development of super-resolution techniques over the last twenty years has allowed imaging down to a lengthscale of 20nm, revealing previously inaccessible cellular detail. Localisation microscopy is a popular super-resolution technique, which can achieve a resolution of tens of nanometres, although it generally requires several minutes to acquire enough data for a super- resolution reconstruction. Susan developed a new super-resolution technique, Bayesian analysis of blinking and bleaching, which is capable of analysing raw data in which many overlapping fluorophores are emitting in each frame. This allows data to be taken on standard widefield systems rather than commercial microscopes, putting super-resolution within the reach of any group with a widefield fluorescence Susan Cox microscope. It also allows extremely rapid live cell imaging, with the time to acquire the data for a (Kings College London) super-resolution reconstruction reduced to a few seconds, and only requires standard fluorescent proteins rather than photoswitchable ones. This rapid nanoscale imaging has already revealed new information about cell structures, and promises to reveal more in the future.

EDUCATION AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Dr Gonzalo Estavillo is plant biologist passionate about science and education. Gonzalo received an undergraduate degree in plant physiology and molecular biology at the National University of Rosario, Argentina, in the lab of Prof. C. Andreo (CEFOBI) in 1996. He then moved to University of Florida, USA, where he started a PhD under the supervision of Dr. G. Bowes in 1999. His PhD thesis focused on the role of a cardinal enzyme (NADP-malic enzyme) during photosynthesis in Hydrilla verticillata, the first inducible single-cell C4 plant ever described. Gonzalo joined the group of Prof. B. Pogson in 2007 as a Research Associate at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plant Energy Biology based at the ANU. His post doctoral work focused on plant water stress responses and cell signalling. This work led to the proposal of a new line of communication between chloroplast and the nucleus that could be important during abiotic stress responses. In 2013, Gonzalo joined CSIRO Agriculture as a Research Scientist to develop new capabilities in photosynthesis research. The main goal of his current research is to improve plant biomass production by either enhancing photosynthesis or plant performance under adverse conditions. Gonzalo is currently ANU Visiting Fellow and affiliate member of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Translational Photosynthesis. Gonzalo contributed to undergraduate education, student supervision and training programs during his career, and he is also actively engaged in education and science communication with the ASPS. Gonzalo Estavillo Gonzalo’s scientific and outreach work resulted in several papers in high-profile journals and was (CSIRO Agriculture) recognised by several awards.

Survival depends on appropriate behavioural and physiological responses to danger. In addition to active or ‘fight-flight’ defense responses, a passive or ‘freeze-hide’ response is adaptive in some contexts. However, the physiological underpinnings and mechanisms YSAS.3 responsible for determining which individuals choose a given defense response, and the Scaling of sensorimotor delays in terrestrial mammals consistency of these responses across environments remain poorly understood. Here, we show that the adoption of an active versus passive defense response depends both on personality and aerobic metabolic performance. Using Japanese flounder (Paralichthys Heather L More (Simon Fraser University, Canada), Max Donelan (Simon Fraser olivaceus) as a model, we employed a range of behavioural assays to document the University, Canada) existence of two distinct behavioural types (herein referred to as ‘bold’ and ‘shy’). We then found consistent metabolic differences between individuals of a given behavioural type Animals of all sizes rely on sensory information and motor commands to escape across an environmental gradient: shy individuals had an overall lower aerobic scope and predators, avoid falls, and perform routine tasks. However, sensorimotor delays constrain standard metabolic rate than bold individuals in both high and low salinities. Interestingly, the effectiveness of sensory and motor signals. Here, we present our research determining these behavioral and metabolic differences translated into divergent physiological stress the scaling of total delay and its components, in species spanning the full size range of responses during acute stress: shy individuals adopted a passive ‘freeze-hide’ response terrestrial mammals.

Half of all fish species school at some point during their lives, providing a range of benefits such as increased predator avoidance. Theory suggests that the defensive advantages of group-living are maximised when individuals exhibit homogeneity in a range of morphological characteristics such as body size and colouration. However, no one has yet tested whether gregarious fish species assort according to physiological characteristics like metabolism and whether this assorting affects the group’s escape behaviour. In this study, we collected 11 distinct wild schools of the damselfish Chromis viridis from shallow reefs surrounding Lizard Island in the northern Great Barrier Reef. The flow regimes for each collection site were measured on six random days. The metabolic rate (standard metabolic rate (SMR), maximum metabolic rate (MMR) and aerobic scope (AS)) of eight random individuals from each school were measured using intermittent-flow respirometry. The group’s escape behaviour was tested in a laminar flow swim tunnel, in which the school’s response to an aerial stimulus was recorded in high-speed (240 fps). We found evidence of assorting by metabolism within each of these schools, with greater similarities found within schools than between schools. Schools with a higher aerobic scope exhibited more effective escape responses, with a faster latency time and greater turning rate.

The explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a highly toxic and stable environmental YSAS.6 pollutant, which now contaminates extensive areas of land as a result of its continuing use in military munitions. Due to the huge scale of contaminated sites, there is great Parasite effector enhances insect vector colonisation interest in the use of plants to clean-up areas such as U.S. Department of Defense land independently of altered plant morphology (an estimated 10 million hectares). However, the mechanism of TNT toxicity towards plants has been previously unknown, limiting our ability to develop such remediation technologies. As part of my PhD, I have been investigating why an Arabidopsis thaliana Zigmunds Orlovskis (John Innes Centre, United Kingdom), Allyson M MacLean mutant has extremely high TNT tolerance. In doing so, I have identified the main reason (Boyce Thompson Institute, United States), Saskia A Hogenhout (John Innes Centre, for why TNT is toxic to the plant. My results will be applied to develop plants with United Kingdom) improved abilities to take up and detoxify this toxic pollutant at military training ranges Parasites often alter development and behaviour of their hosts to benefit parasite spread Email Address for correspondence: [email protected] and survival in nature. However, genetic mechanisms that induce these extended 09:30 Tuesday 30th June 2015 phenotypes in hosts are largely elusive, generating debates of whether the phenotypes are directly beneficial to the parasites or are side-products of parasite infection. eW recently characterized genetic components involved in parasite-mediated modulations of host developmental processes and used this knowledge to better understand how changes in host phenotype contribute to parasite dispersal. Phytoplasmas are insect-vectored plant pathogens, which induce dramatic changes in plant development, including proliferation of YSAS.5 stems (witches’ broom) and generation of leaf-like flowers (phyllody). We have identified plant targets of the phytoplasma virulence protein (effector) SAP54, which induces Medicago truncatula MtLAX2, an orthologue of the two phenotypes in a RAD23-dependent manner: phyllody by degrading MADS-box AtAUX1 auxin influx transporter, mediates auxin control transcription factors and the promotion of plant colonisation by insect vectors. Given that of nodule organogenesis leafhoppers feed and lay eggs on vegetative tissues, we hypothesized that the leaf-like flowers promote leafhopper colonization. Surprisingly, we found that the leaf-like flowers themselves do not attract the insects; leafhoppers were attracted to the SAP54-producing Sonali Roy (John Innes Centre, United Kingdom), Simon Walker (Babraham Institute, plants even when the leaf-like flowers were removed or before the plants flowered.

Deficiency of soil nitrogen initiates rhizobial infection and nodule development to ensure availability of plant usable nitrogen. The phytohormone auxin has been implicated in nodule organogenesis but the molecular machinery involved is presently unknown. Perturbation of auxin transport by both auxin influx and efflux transport inhibitors is sufficient to decrease nodule numbers, in Medicago truncatula. We present the first genetic evidence that the auxin influx transporter MtLAX2, an orthologue of the Arabidopsis AtAUX1, is a key player in nodule development. Promoter-GUS fusions reveal that MtLAX2 is expressed in the expanding nodule primordia but gets restricted to the meristematic zone in mature nodules. Accordingly, two Tnt1 retrotransposon mutants of the MtLAX2 gene identified in our lab show a consistent 50% reduction in nodule number. These mutants are comparable to the aux1 mutants in having reduced lateral root numbers and auxin insensitive root growth. In addition, we have identified a novel auxin inducible AUX-IAA transcriptional repressor, MtIAA8, expressed in infected root hairs and nodule primordia, mutation in which can reduce nodule numbers by
