1 Plant proteomics Tinto
Breakthroughs in studying intra-cellular dynamics and environmental
response in the Arabidopsis proteome
Workshop Organisers - Harvey Millar, Wolfram Weckwerth, Joshua Heazlewood, Alex Jones
The MASC Proteomics Subcommittee has run a workshop at each ICAR meeting since Berlin 2004.
Proteomics is a rapidly growing field that is being widely adopted by Arabidopsis researchers. This
workshop aims to provide updates to the community on proteomic tools and resources available in
Arabidopsis, presented by members of this MASC committee. It also showcases the work of selected
researchers from submitted abstracts that have used proteomics to address interesting biological
questions in diverse fields. This year has a focus on quantification of proteomes and post-translation
modification of proteins. This workshop has benefit for researchers with a general interested in
proteomics and its uses, to those interested to meet and interact with potential collaborators, to
those with specific interest in the biological results presented.

2 Assaying for Hall Mark Features of Programmed Cell Death Moorfoot
Workshop Organisers – Patrick Gallois and Dr Paul McCabe
Programmed cell death (PCD) in plants is a vital process that is essential to correct development,
defence and stress responses. However, there has been a lack of uniformity in the literature in
identifying programmed cell death and identifying the various types of death. Cell death modes
include apoptotic-like PCD, autophagic cell death and necrosis. The workshop will consist of short
talks to discuss techniques for identifying, assaying and quantifying death in Arabidopsis. The
workshop will illustrate the hallmark features of PCD including morphologies, release of
mitochondrial proteins, activation of caspase-like molecules and degradation of DNA. There will be
a discussion slot at the end of the workshop during which aspects not covered in talks could be
brought up.
