Three decades of work show manipulating RuBP regeneration improves photosynthesis and yield. This week in a @NewPhyt Tansley Insight, @rainc_CAR1 reminds us there is still much more to learn about the CBB cycle and plenty of room for improvement : 👉 doi.org/10.1111/nph.18…
To meet future global food supply demands, a team of Illinois researchers tested the potential for increased plant productivity and intrinsic water-use efficiency through the overexpression of ictB in field-grown tobacco 🌱 📗: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/er… 📘: bit.ly/3PJJBhs
There 's only ONE week to go before @pintofscience #Colchester so get your tickets NOW - pintofscience.co.uk/events/colches… And get yourself ready for 3 days of truly fascinating talks from local science enthusiasts straight out of @UniofEssex @pintofscience #Pint22 #LocalScience
Can our forests and seas help save us from rising CO2? Come find out from leading scientists @DrNatalieHicks, @DrTracyLawson, and @shellie_wall about how plants, coasts, and even beavers can lend a helping hand! @pintofscience @Uni_of_Essex pintofscience.co.uk/events/colches…
@pintofscience returns to #Colchester @ @TWM_Colchester and Queen Street Brew House, @qsbcol. With @essexhistory, @essexsociology, @EssexSocSci, @EssexLifeSci all taking part, there's loads to see. essex.ac.uk/news/2022/04/2… #pint22 #PintEssex22 #thirstyforscience
How can we use #Colchester's past to help understand our #future? Find out at the Three Wise Monkey's on May 9th at our @pintofscience TOWIE evening with @AlexShaks @CATRomanCircus, Luke Harrison and @ColchesterZoo TICKETS: pintofscience.co.uk/events/colches…
Plant gDNA library loaded and MinION @nanopore sequencing running! 🧬 @ScienceChidi @PlantEssex
Genomic DNA extraction from tobacco leaves for our first @nanopore sequencing run! @ScienceChidi @PlantEssex @RIPEproject
What happens if you perturb the shuttling of NAD(P)H💥 and ATP⚡️ between plant organelles? We targeted connection points chloroplast-cytosol-mitochondria and found changes to the NADH/NAD+ ratios in the dark in tobacco leaves🌱. Out today @JPlantPhysiol! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Congratulations to Tracy Lawson @webofscience highly cited list- @DrTracyLawson @Uni_of_Essex recognising your pioneering work on stomata and the development of new technologies in plant physiology
Check out my lockdown project below. Not getting into the lab meant I had the time to think about how Calvin Cycle enzyme regulation differs between C3 and C4 species. Check it out here: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
Super happy to see this paper out! Not to be missed! Well done @ScienceChidi and @rainc_CAR1! Insights Into the Regulation of the Expression Pattern of Calvin-Benson-Bassham Cycle Enzymes in C3 and C4 Grasses frontiersin.org/article/10.338…
