On February 12, the world of plant sciences lost a legendary figure, and we at IPMB lost a member of our family, when pneumonia claimed Professor Shang-Fa Yang, our long time mentor.
Funeral service was held at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 23 at the Davis Cemetery, 820 Pole Line Road in Davis, followed by a noon reception at the Davis Chinese Christian Church.

| Biology meets Math and Art at the IPMB (12-27-2006) |
The binary code in cell fate determination of rhizodermic cells represents an ideal model to study the effect of environmental signals on the redifferentiation of cells. Dr. Natasha Saint Savage from the Computational Systems Biology group at Sheffield University (UK) has developed a logic model for the patterning of cells in the root epidermis of Arabidopsis. Together with Wolfgang Schmidt at IPMB, Dr. Savage is currently refining this model to account for environmental signals that control cell fate changes.
