Secondary antibody: 1: 50 000 1h/RT

Western blot protocol after optimization
Protein load/well: 2 µg
Blocking: 5 % milk
Primary antibody: 1: 2000 ON/4ºC
Secondary antibody: 1: 50 000 1h/RT

Visible improvement was achieved with decreased protein load/well (10x).

We are celebrating the 1-year anniversary of the Global Plant Events Calendar!

The Global calendar project was initiated on January 2nd, 2019 as a mutual effort of Plantae and Agrisera to provide the plant community with a comprehensive list of worldwide events.

We hope that the calendar will provide a quick overview of plant meetings, conferences and congresses, to help you decide and plan which conference to attend. The calendar will also help promote a meeting, should you be organizing one. The calendar widget can easily be loaded on the conference website. 

The Global Plant Events Calendar has already collected over 200 events! There are over 72 events registered for this year and even two events for 2021. We are looking forward to new conferences to be signed in and hope that we can cover most plant meetings taking place in the world.

Not familiar with the calendar yet? This short video will show you how to use it.

In 2019 Agrisera contributed to conferences held world-wide though The Best Talk and The Best Poster awards, which were handed out during 19 meetings. Awardees received a diploma and could chose any product from Agrisera catalog, which is provided free of charge. 

Researchers from following countries received 2019 awards: Germany, France, Japan, Poland, Sweden, Switzeralnd. More information about it can be found on Agrisera blog and twitter. 

The Global Plant Events Calendar provides a comprehensive overwiev on world-wide plant conferences and listed over 155 events for 2019.
In January 2020 the calendar, which is initiative of Agrisera and ASPB/Plantae is celebrating one year.
