BSU hosts scientific seminar on Thermogenesis in Plants

07/05/2024

The Biological Faculty at BSU recently hosted a scientific seminar focused on the process of thermogenesis in plants. Associate Professor Sevinj Ismailova delivered a presentation titled "Thermogenesis in Plants: Alternative Oxidase." She highlighted that by understanding the regulations of respiratory pathways, it becomes feasible to control not only the life processes of plants but also those of humans at the molecular-genetic level. This subject stands as one of the principal inquiries of modern biology.

Thermogenesis, the process of heat production and emission in organisms, is primarily observed in endothermic animals like birds, mammals, and certain thermogenic plant species. In mammals, thermogenesis relies on the activity of uncoupling proteins, also known as thermogenins or UCP-1.

The seminar concluded with a question-and-answer session, allowing participants to engage further on the topic.
