Making Connections - Plant Science to Crop Product
The aim of this one day meeting (sponsored by SEB) was to review the potential for new research programmes and to address how high level objectives can be met by developing crops that deliver benefits for diet and health, renewable products and ameliorating the impacts of climate change.

Final BBSRC Report in Plant Systems Biology
Systems biology has a grand vision – understanding all the components of a biological system and their interactions, across all relevant levels of organisation. In the plant context, the vision might translate into a whole-plant computer model that accounts for seed-to-seed development and environmental responses, starting from the scale of macromolecular and metabolic processes. GARNet’s Advisory Committee has been contemplating how this could best be approached in UK Arabidopsis research and has submitted it's finding to the BBSRC’s Integrative and Systems Biology Panel.
SEB Systems Biology Forum
During the SEB Canterbury 2006 conference GARNet helding an open forum to discover the communities view on plant systems biology and how it could be best co-ordinated in the UK.
JIC Systems Biology Forum
GARNet held an open forum at the JIC to discover the communities views on plant systems biology and how it could be best co-ordinated in the UK.

Modellers Network
IGER and GARNET organised a network meeting in Swindon 13-14th March 2006. The meeting aimed to bring together scientists from the systems biology, bioinformatics and agro-ecological modelling communities to exchange ideas, enhance awareness of each others' fields, explore synergisms and make recommendations on fruitful future directions.

BBSRC Report Succeding in Plant Systems Biology
BBSRC and GARNet held a work entitled ‘Succeeding in Plant Systems Biology’ in Edinburgh, July 2005. The workshop aimed to investigate systems biology approaches to plant science and consider the advantages and problems in applying such approaches to research.
