DESCRIPTION:Dr. Robert Smith\, University of Edinburgh\nBio: Training: Mat
 hematics MMath (Newcastle University)\, Systems Biology MSc (University of
  Warwick). Funding: BBSRC – Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Resear
 ch Council.\nAs the climate of Earth changes\, an important challenge in p
 lant sciences is to understand the effects of altered light and temperatur
 e signalling on crop development. In this talk I will broadly discuss how 
 the BBSRC-funded ROBuST project is using Systems Biology approaches to und
 erstand how the circadian clock regulates plant development in response to
  the external environment\, with a focus on how flowering in Arabidopsis t
 haliana is regulated by light and temperature. By building mathematical mo
 dels to describe the flowering process\, we are starting to uncover a comp
 lex feed-forward network that is able to accelerate flowering in specific 
 seasonal conditions.
