DESCRIPTION:3rd year graduate seminar\n\nThe control of shoot branching in
  a plant is a highly plastic process and can lead to striking differences 
 in aerial architecture. Recent evidence indicates that canalised auxin tra
 nsport is a key factor in regulating bud activity and that strigolactone i
 s involved in modulating auxin transport dynamics.\n\nI have been examinin
 g the timescale of changes in transcription of the TCP transcription facto
 r\, BRC1 (BRANCHED1)\, during Arabidopsis bud activation to compare it to 
 the timescale over which buds begin measurable growth. In addition\, I hav
 e been examining the relationship between strigolactone\, auxin and BRC1. 
 These investigations are establishing a framework for the timing of events
  in bud activation and will help us to understand better how branch growth
  is regulated.
