The second chapter of my PhD is in pre-print (check it out)!🌿☀️ biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We show that rubisco is not perfect, and is continually being optimized for increased efficiency in nature... 📈 However, improvements are limited by its slow rate of sequence evolution!🐌

Wild Bio is looking for plant biologists to join our fast growing team in Oxford! We are looking for people who want to keep doing awesome plant science, and who want to be part of a ambitious spin-out that's on mission to improve sustainability and productivity of crop plants.

Highly multiplexed MinION sequencing. We successfully sequenced 576 gene variants in a single run to verify our enzyme library. Great to see when a method works!! A shout-out to the Breitling group. @SYNBIOCHEM @AndrewCurrin1 @neilswainston academic.oup.com/synbio/article…

"It is impossible to graft monocots"... not for Gregory Reeves from @Cambridge_Uni 🌾 this new method of #hybridization may facilitate the introduction of #C4 #photosynthesis into C3 monocot crops 👏 @SEBiology #SEB2021

New from @JBouvierPlants & co. RuBisCO adaptation in plants weakly constrained by catalytic trade-offs. Much more limited by phylogenetic constraints imposed by haploid genome, lack of recombination & low rate of molecular evolution. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The genome of the worlds fastest photosynthesising plant is out (A. palmeri). It also happens to be one of the worlds worst weeds ... academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-ar…

Review from @_MNiklaus and me on why we think the molecular evolution of C4 photosynthesis holds potential to unlock new avenues of improvement for important food, feedstock, and bioenergy crops. academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar… doi.org/10.1093/jxb/er…

Pimp your brain! This time we have a special topic: photosynthesis. Today, Prof. Mark Stitt explains, why oxygen is bad for photosynthesis: youtu.be/Eb5MdQWq3Rk In the next 2 weeks, we will publish another video every Thursday on our youtube channel: youtube.com/channel/UCSfXh…

It's been a lot of work, but the preprint for OrthoFinder2 is now out! It infers orthogroups for your species, the complete set of gene trees and uses these to identify all orthologues and gene duplication events. biorxiv.org/content/early/…

I showed the tree of life in a talk to @UCBerkeley alumni today. I asked them close their eyes and come to understand that they are the product on an unbroken chain of cell divisions that started 4 billion years ago! So much extinction and so lucky to be here. #Homecoming2018
