[Coral-List] Call for Abstracts-ICRS 2016-Session 45 - FLUORESCENCE ON CORAL REEFS: FROM BIOLOGY TO TECHNOLOGY

[Gal Eyal]

Dear Listers,

We would like to invite you to submit abstracts for *Session 45: **FLUORESCENCE
ON CORAL REEFS: FROM BIOLOGY TO TECHNOLOGY*
<https://www.sgmeet.com/icrs2016/sessionschedule.asp?SessionID=45>.


*Session Description:*

Fluorescent Proteins (FP's) can comprise up to 14% of the total protein
content of some coral species, potentially contributing to important
biological functions in corals, that are not yet entirely understood. FP's
play a role in photoprotection but may also help symbiont photosynthesis in
low light environments. Several additional functions are under discussion.
Coral fluorescence can potentially serve as an indicator of coral health
and, at a larger scale, facilitate coral habitat surveys. Furthermore,
fluorescent proteins enable novel imaging application in biomedical
research. This session aims to discuss new findings on the function of FPs,
as well as to present recent developments in fluorescent protein-based
habitat mapping and biotechnological applications.


*Abstract Deadline:* 15 January 2016
