[09:40-12:40] Plant RNA Pathogens Workshop
- Description:
- RNA pathogens are a very important group of plant parasites including viruses and viroids. Apart of their economic importance in Agriculture they are useful models to study RNA biology. The objectives of this Workshop are to promote and shape the common advances of a network of plant biologists towards a better comprehensive understanding of the impact that viruses and viroids of plants have on their hosts.
Workshop venue: IMBB-FORTH, Heraklion, Crete
Dates: 28-29 May 2015
Location:[Seminar Room # 1, 1st floor, FORTH building]
Given the limited number of seats, if you wish to participate, please send a relevant message to Mr. Kriton Kalantidis [kriton@imbb.forth.gr], by May 15, 2015 at the latest.

Abstract
DNA is widely recognized as a promising engineering material in the field of nanotechnology and material science. Here, I will show that using DNA as building block for constructing molecules with complex architecture in the field of soft matter can offer a great opportunity to obtain well-defined monodisperse systems with a wide variety of particle shape, stiffness, charge, etc. In addition, the size of the particles can be tuned such, that direct visualization of these complex structures on the single particle is accessible. A small library of well-defined DNA-based macromolecular assemblies will be presented, focused on two recently synthesized systems: (a) star-branched polyelectrolyte and (b) patchy rod-like particle.
