Frontiers of In Vitro and Synthetic Biology
Convener: Fredy Altpeter – University of Florida
Convener: Michael K. Dame – University of Michigan Medical School
Synthetic biology applies engineering principles to biology by targeting the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the re-design of existing, natural biological systems for broad applications including biofuels, agriculture, bio-materials, biopharmaceuticals, sustainability and more. Session topics will focus on development of tools to enable rational design of novel traits. The session will also present recently pioneered human organoid systems, derived from three-dimensional cell cultures or biopsy tissue samples. These unique human “organs in a dish” incorporate some of the key features of the represented organs and are powerful tools to study and understand molecular mechanisms controlling developmental processes, stem/progenitor cell regulation, cell fate decision-making, disease, and repair.

Engineering Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants
Convener: Sadanand Dhekney – University of Maryland Eastern Shore
Convener: Prakash P. Kumar – Department of Biological Sciences
Plant growth and productivity are under constant threat by the environmental challenges. Some of the crucial factors that have a major influence on plants include abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, and cold. Salinity stress alone affects plant growth at various developmental stages leading to a reduction in crop yield. With the rapidly growing population, improving crop tolerance to abiotic stress will be a key solution to increase agricultural production. Technological advances in recent years have resulted in the identification of several biomarkers that control plant growth and development and play a crucial role during abiotic stresses. Enhanced expression of some of the genes that regulate synthesis of different osmolytes and sugars, e.g., trehalose has been shown to confer salinity tolerance in crop plants. The involvement of ABA signalling in abiotic stress tolerance is well known. However, the various signalling players involved are only partly known. Talks in this session will focus on identifying genes and molecular mechanism underlying stress response, and how selected candidate genes may help in generating crop plants with enhanced abiotic stress tolerance in the coming decades.

Biological Sensors: Organoids to Organisms for Answering Medicinal, Agricultural and Environmental Questions
Convener: Allan Wenck, PhD, JD – BASF
Convener: Michael K. Dame – University of Michigan Medical School
3D organoid cultures established from patient-derived tissues serve as an highly accurate model to assess efficacy and safety of various agents across multiple organ systems. In a breast stem cell-derived organoid model, as well as in 2D primary monolayers, the impact of the environmental risk factor cadmium is characterized across racially diverse donors. Secondly, a study employing patient-derived colon organoids, evaluates a red marine algae product, currently in clinical trial, for colon cancer chemopreventative properties. The enhancement of the intestinal barrier properties are assessed with a 2D transwell monolayer system. Finally, work will be presented here demonstrating the novel use of whole plant organisms to screen environmental toxins. These sophisticated multicellular models have the potential to accurately evaluate responses across many applications and questions.

Metabolic Engineering for Value Added Plant Products and Biofuels
Convener: Ming Cheng – BASF Plant Science
Member Invited Speaker: J. Pon Samuel – CORTEVA AgriscienceTM, Agriculture Division of DowDuPontTM
Metabolic engineering is the targeted improvement of the cellular metabolic pathway using recombinant DNA technology with the goal of high-yield production of value added plant products including fuels. Using synthetic biology approaches facilitates the modular assembly of multigenic constructs and allows programming of plant cells or microbes with more precise control and more dynamic gene expression for generating plant products that are scalable and thus commercially viable. In the recent past, metabolic engineering has scaled up production of fragrances, food flavors, medicinal components or fuels. This session emphasizes targeted pathway engineering for high-yield production of plant-based metabolites and fuels with options for next generation products in conventional and nonconventional platforms.

Stem Cell Differentiation in Human Models
Convener: Tetsuji Okamoto, D.D.S., Ph.D. – Hiroshima University
Convener: J. Denry Sato – Manzanar Project Foundation
The demonstrations that human pluripotent stem cell lines could be isolated from embryos (ES) or induced from differentiated cells (iPS) have held out the prospect and promise of cellular therapies for degenerative or genetic diseases. In addition the ability to generate iPS cell lines from patients with genetic diseases allows those diseases to be studied with new precision. This session will address a method to generate disease-specific iPS cell lines without genetically transforming them and developing disease models based on differentiation of iPS cells. Pluripotent stem cells may hold promise for future cellular therapies, but multipotent adult stem cells may be more likely to give rise to therapies in the near term. The last talk will focus on the application of oral and craniofacial stem cells in regeneration.

Student Workshop: Hands on RNA-seq Workshop Using the Cyverse Computational Infrastructure Data Analysis
Convener: Adrianne Brown – Tuskegee University
Convener: Sepideh Mohammadhosseinpour – Arkansas State University
RNA-Seq is a powerful and easily assessable method to examine and compare gene expression on a broad scale. This workshop will focus on introducing researchers to the principles behind RNA-Seq analysis and will provide a hands-on introduction to software and analysis pipelines for RNA-Seq. The workshop is aimed at teaching the computational process that takes the raw data all the way through the high level analysis. Theory and hands-on application will be centered around two RNA-Seq analysis suites: (1) Cufflinks and Stingtie are expression analysis modules that assemble raw reads into transcripts and then evaluate expression, and (2) DeSeq2 which is an R package that works directly on count data. There is no pre-requisite programming experience necessary. Raw and analyzed data will be hosted on CyVerse – an NSF funded life sciences cyber-infrastructure platform - that allows analysis to be performed in a web-based environment. Data analysis and demonstrations will be performed on the CyVerse Discovery Environment (DE). For the best experience, students are requested to establish a free CyVerse account (www.cyverse.org) prior to the workshop and should have access to a networked laptop.

Delivery of Genome Editing Reagents
Member Invited Speaker: Ajith Anand – DuPont Pioneer
Member Invited Speaker: Joshua Z. Gasiorowski – Midwestern University
Genome editing technology is powerful tool for modern biotechnology with the potential to modify microbial, plant and animal genomes. The targeted modification of genomic sequences has been accomplished using programmable nucleases, including Meganucleases, zin finer nuclease (ZFNs), transcription activator-like nucleases (TALENs), and the clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeat-associated nuclease Cas9 (CRISPR-Cas9). There is a good understanding of the basic mechanisms of the CRISPR/Cas9 system and its predecessors (Meganucleases, ZFNs and TALENs). Unfortunately, one of the major limitations in genome editing is the ability to “deliver” the different cargo types and editing reagents to a target cell. This session will deliberate on the various vehicles and techniques reported for biomolecule and nucleic acid delivery and discuss their relative merits. Our speakers will discuss very recent advances using electroporation, diffusion-based, and nanoparticle-based delivery methods currently being explored to effectively introduce genes and genome editing reagents into plant and animal cells for agricultural and medical applications

3D Toxicology: Emerging Technologies Directed Towards the Prediction of Human Responses
Convener: Seyoum Ayehuine – MatTek
Convener: John W. Harbell, PhD – JHarbell Consulting LLC
Toxicology is moving from an observational science based on macro-responses of surrogate animal species to one based on hypothesis testing to predict effects in the actual species of interest (often humans). This change is by no means complete but is being driven by an understanding that much of the toxic response is based perturbation or activation of critical pathways (Toxicology in the 21st Century) that can be quantitatively different in the species of interest. Understanding these pathways provides physiologically-based guidance for identifying upstream endpoint measures predictive of downstream effects. The proper selection of endpoint measures has become a key element in the development of in vitro toxicological methods. It has also become clear that the exposure kinetics of the target tissue (test system) and the required pathways can be dependent on the 3-dimensional (3D) milieu of that test system. The 3D architecture has a polarized tissue structure, allows more normal cell-cell communication, can include multiple cell types, is characteristic of the tissue in vivo, and provides progressive exposure into the tissue not possible with a single layer of cells. This symposium will focus on next generation of in vitro test methods with particular focus on the emerging technologies in 3D tissue systems and the application of these systems to regulatory toxicology. In the past, developers of in vitro systems (2D or 3D) brought their assays to the regulatory agencies without extensive input from those agencies. Now the agencies are poised to be active participants in the development process and to provide guidance as to specific agency needs.

Controlled Environments for Plant Tissue Culture
Convener: Jeffrey Beringer – Dow AgroSciences
Convener: Steve McCulloch – Mountain Shadow Nursery LLC
Environmental factors present in the tissue culture space that may influence the successful growth of in vitro plant cultures are often discounted or not seriously considered by researchers. Light quality, variability in temperature control, humidity, and gas exchange are all influenced by the choice of engineering controls. Managing all these factors to optimize culture growth can be a complex task. Researchers must make a multitude of design choices to achieve their goals. This session will examine various aspects of manipulating the environment that in vitro plants are grown in and how researchers can use this to their advantage.

Importance of Signaling Molecules in Establishing Cell Cultures
Convener: Cynthia L. Goodman – USDA, ARS, BCIRL
Convener: Guy Smagghe – Ghent University
Cell cultures serve as valuable tools in agricultural and medical research for both basic and applied studies. They are also heavily used by the industrial sector in high throughput screening assays, mechanism of action studies, and other aspects of product development. The focus of this session will be on the development of cell cultures that express phenotypes predictive of in vivo responses. The first two speakers will discuss the initiation of continuously replicating cell lines, as well as primary cultures, for agricultural applications. The last two speakers will outline signaling transduction mechanisms and their relationship with physiological processes, such as immunity, and cell fate/differentiation. There will also be a discussion on the use of genetic modifications to encourage the development of tissue-specific cell lines.

Protoplast Technology for Genome Editing
Convener: Ian S. Curtis – University of North Texas
Convener: Carlos M. Hernandez-Garcia – Calyxt
Protoplasts are osmotically fragile cells which have had their cell wall removed usually by digestion with enzymes. Isolated protoplasts are unique to a wide range of experimental procedures such as protoplast fusion enabling nuclear and cytoplasmic genomes to be combined and DNA transfer for transient and stable transformation in the nucleus and also organelle transformation to produce transplasmotic plants. Several parameters, particularly source of tissue, culture medium, environmental factors, influence the ability of a protoplast to develop into a fertile plant. However, despite over 50 years of research, many species remain recalcitrant in culture. Recently, there has been a resurgence in protoplast systems for rapid screening of gene silencing events through dsRNA, miRNA and siRNA and genome-editing using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENS) using high-throughput automated platforms. In this session, we are going to showcase the recent advances in how protoplasts are being used in genomic research to accelerate and design crop improvement.

Maximizing Gene Editing Target Specificity
Convener: Michael Fay, Ph.D. – Midwestern University
Convener: Mary Ann Saltarikos – Monsanto Company
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has become an important method for genome editing in both plant and animal cells providing unprecedented opportunities for crop improvements and therapeutic applications. A possible important hurdle of this technology is the extent of its off-target activity and despite the importance of these off-target cleavage events, we still lack a full understanding of the biophysical basis for the specificity of CRISPR-Cas enzymes. The speakers in this plenary session will discuss recent developments regarding improvements in the specificity of CRISPR/Cas9 and off-target detection methods.

Biotechnology and Its Importance for the Citrus Industry
Convener: Randall P. Niedz, PhD – USDA Agricultural Research Service
Convener: Ahmad A. Omar – University of Florida
Citrus is one of the most important commercial and nutritional fruit crops in the world, but faces a number of challenges including concerns about the environmental impacts of production, farm labor shortages, diverse and changing consumer demands, and the global movement of insect pests and diseases. Improved cultivars can address each of these challenges. However, the conventional breeding of citrus is difficult because of the combined effects of facultative apomixis, long juvenile periods, high heterozygosity, sexual incompatibility, pollen/ovule sterility, and little knowledge of the inheritance of horticultural traits. Biotechnology provides approaches that can potentially overcome many of these biological limitations, as well as address the challenges, particularly those related to serious pests and diseases. Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease, is the most serious citrus disease worldwide. HLB is a significant threat to global citrus production because it is found in many of the major citrus growing areas. Producing disease/(HLB)-resistant genotypes using biotechnology is expected to result in cultivars with good field performance that produce fruit economically and with acceptable consumer traits. A range of plant biotechnological techniques and approaches such as cell and tissue culture, genetic engineering, molecular genetics, and genome editing will result in long-term and rapid improvements.

Cellular Agriculture and the Use of Cell Lines for Meat Production
Convener: Vivian R. Dayeh – University of Waterloo
Convener: Lucy E J Lee, PhD – University of the Fraser Valley
As the demand for clean meat increases, scientists are looking for ethically sourced, contaminant-free meats. Invitromaticists (cell culture researchers) have begun to mass produce the meat invitrome, that is, fibroblasts, muscle and fat cells, that are the cellular components of meat, under in vitro conditions. Additionally, molecular biologists and tissue bioengineers are collaborating with the invitromaticians to bring muscle mass for bioreactor production and scale-up. This revolution in meat production without the need to continuously kill animals is spawning new biotech companies specializing in the production of select meat invitromes, ie. using continuously growing cell lines derived from the species of interest, including fish, birds and mammals, for clean meat production. This session will provide a forum for discussion and knowledge sharing of the current state in cellular agriculture or meat invitromatics.

Recalcitrance in Micropropagation, Regeneration and Transformation
Convener: Jeffrey Adelberg – Clemson University
Convener: Theodore M. Klein – Meristematic, Inc.
Overcoming recalcitrance and expressing competence has been a vexing problem among the community of biotechnologists involved with regeneration and genetic transformation of non-model crop species. For an even longer period of time, recalcitrant and permissive genotypes have made commercial micropropagation of some varieties erratic, when other apparently similar plants are reliably propagated via tissue culture. Recalcitrance and competence are phenotypes, with their expression determined by genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, both environmental and genetic factors need to be considered in efforts to overcome recalcitrance. Our invited speakers will share perspective along an array of basic approaches and practical experiences with recalcitrance. We draw from both academic and commercial practitioners to share their best ideas in understanding and manipulating recalcitrance.

In Vitro Ecophysiology
Convener: Ben Hughes
Convener: Valerie C. Pence – Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
Plants have developed physiological adaptations to survive a wide range of environmental conditions in their native ecosystems such as photoperiod, water relations, nutrient availability, and soil microbiota. These responses are most commonly observed in vitro through differential growth between species, but also within a species, when grown in a common culture environment. How to address ecophysiological responses in vitro should be considered when producing plants in both the nursery industry and for conservation efforts. The aim of this session is to link ex vitro ecophysiological responses to those in vitro, provide examples using plants from different environments, and demonstrate practical applications for in vitro plant culture.

Regulation of Morphogenesis
Member Invited Speaker: William Gordon-Kamm – Pioneer Hi-Bred International
Member Invited Speaker: Prakash Venglat – University of Saskatchewan
Stem cells of plants are wired differently to differentiation programs compared to animals. This provides for an iterative process that elaborates the plant body over time and is developmentally and environmentally regulated. In addition, the organized and well-integrated development of embryos, shoots, and roots can be recapitulated in vitro using explants derived from different tissue types. This highlights the inherent plasticity of the plant cell to rewire their morphogenetic states and recover their regenerative potential. Progress in understanding the underlying molecular genetic control of meristem and embryo ontogeny has been spectacular and provides ample fuel to feed new strategies in transformation research. A number of morphogenic genes have been used to improve plant regeneration and/or transformation over the last 20+ years, but recently there has been renewed interest in these methods. Use of morphogenic genes such as WUS and BBM provides a good example of an unfolding story that increasingly facilitates transformation in cereals such as maize, sorghum and wheat. This session will highlight new developments in plant morphogenic gene technology and perspectives on new opportunities.

3D Cell Cultures in Cancer Research: Modeling In Vivo Tumors
Convener: Addy Alt-Holland – Tufts University, School of Dental Medicine
Convener: Brad L. Upham – Michigan State University
Cells grown in traditional monolayer cultures allow scientists not only to study many fundamental biological processes, such as cell adhesion and migration, growth, metabolism and response to different therapeutic agents, but also to decipher and interrogate molecular mechanisms that are involved in these processes. Unlike monolayer cultures, more complex, in vitro 3D models, including spheroids, tumoroids and bioengineered tissues, can better provide cancer cells with physiologically relevant microenvironments, tissue architecture and molecular cues for the development of in vivo-like tumors. These models allow the investigation of complex processes associated with cancer progression, invasion and metastasis, as well as the identification of key signaling pathways that drive these processes. Furthermore, the use of 3D systems in cancer research is critical for the development of new anti-cancer drugs, prediction and validation of their efficacy, improved diagnostic strategies, and advancement of personalized and patient-tailored cancer treatments. This session will highlight the development and applications of 3D tissue models in cancer research.

The Importance of the Microbiome for Animal and Plant Health
Convener: Mae Ciancio – Midwestern University
Convener: Allan Wenck, PhD, JD – BASF
Micro-organisms impact our daily life, the extent of which is becoming more evident with new methodologies and analysis platforms. In this session we will explore the impact of the microbiome on human and agriculture health. Leading studies on microbial alterations associated with inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer will be discussed, with emphasis on the cellular and molecular immunological consequences of an unhealthy intestinal microbial community. Similar to the intestinal microbiome impacting human health and disease, the microbial community that encases plant roots impacts the health and resilience of the plant. How do specific microbial communities migrate to and communicate with the root, fostering resilience to pathogens and periods of drought? Human and plant reliance on microbial community health and diversity will be discussed, fostering the knowledge that we are truly an intertwined community.

Data Analysis Techniques for Microbiome Research
Convener: Kristina Martinez-Guryn – Midwestern University - Biomedical Sciences
The advancement of culture-independent techniques and next-generation sequencing has led to a rise in the number of microbiome studies over the last decade. Communities should be studied as a whole because many micro-organisms have never been cultured independently. The advancement of next-generation DNA sequencing has allowed sophisticated analysis and sampling of these complex systems, revealing differences in community structure as well as microbial functions. Although it remains important to identify the taxa of microbes, the next stage of microbiome research will need to focus on uncovering the role of the microbiome rather than its mere composition. I will first briefly discuss the historical origins of microbiome studies and tools for determining the ecological diversity and identity of a microbial community. Next, I will introduce shotgun sequencing technologies such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, the computational challenges and methods associated with these data. Finally, I will conclude with examples of the functional genomics of the microbiome from the human gut and environmental model systems, and its influences upon health and disease.
