 +  * Check for the result of the plant root experiment. The root has stopped to grow before entering the channel. Thinking about what to do now.
 +  * Reading an article about plant-microbe interaction\\
 +[[http://www.nature.com/msb/journal/v6/n1/pdf/msb201067.pdf| Goffin et al (2010) Understanding the physiology of Lactobacillus plantarum at zero growth]] (open access). In situations of low substrate availability, //Lactobacillus plantarum// bacteria (which often grows on plants) syhthetize plant hormones to 'tell' the plant to produce certain nutrients they need. Furthermore, //L. plantarum// also adapts its own metabolism to make use of those vegetal nutients.\\
 +  * short research discussion with Nik & Maja
 +
 +===Tuesday 27/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Making pictures and a libarynth page about the [[plant_roots_experiment|plant root experiment]].
 +
 +===Monday 26/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Finding a technical solution to connect the glass pipes to the plexiglas plate, in a watertight way. The experimental device is ready for a first test. A seed of cress is inserted in the 'input'.
 +
 +===Thursday 22/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Buying some material and testing different systems to ensure the watertightness of the fluidics device for the plant root experiment.
 +  * Browsing through the non-scientific web about 'communication with plants'.
 +
 +===Monday 19/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Reading the //book of abstracts// from the 1st symposium on Plant Neurobiology ([[http://www.plantbehavior.org/files/Symposia_BookofAbstracts.pdf|pdf file]] freely downloadable). An nice collection of scientific stories about plant communication.

 +  * Visit at the VUB library to identify interesting reference books about plant physiology:\\
 +° //Biology of Plants, 7th edition// (2005), P. Raven, R. Evert, S. Eichhorn - W. H. Freeman & co Publishers\\
 +Very general and pedagogic, lot of pictures. Botany, histology, a bit of molecular biology. Reader-friendly, nice to browse randomly (essays, topics, etc.). But: ugly hardcover, and 7th edition seems to be the last one.\\
 +° //Plant physiology, 4th edition// (2006), L. Taiz & E. Zeiger - Sinauer Associates, Inc., Publishers\\
 +More experiment-oriented. A lot about plant development and metabolic pathways. Graphs, molecular structures. 5th edition released in 2010.\\
 +° //Biochemistry & Molecular Biology of Plants// (2009), B. Buchanan, W. Gruissem, R. Jones - American Society of Plant Physiologists\\
 +Very good and exhaustive reference book. Very molecular-, protein- and biochemistry-oriented. Big: 1367 pages!\\
