Alan McClain and I have a new paper further exploring what can happen when photosynthesis is pushed too hard and too fast. Access is free academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

Recognizing Plant Direct author Sarathi M. Weraduwage plantae.org/sarathi-m-wera… first author of "Characterization of promoter elements of isoprene-responsive genes and the ability of isoprene to bind START domain transcription factors" @SharkeyLabMSU @ASPB @Wileyplantsci @SEBiology

My lab mates, and Bahtijor Rasulov and Ülo Niinemets have published on the various methods we use to study isoprene and the MEP pathway authors.elsevier.com/a/1fb%7EDHRzCM…

Introducing our next Plant Genomics @MSU #REU student Raeshell Leek from @SAU_News Raeshell is performing her REU research on isoprene responses in plants with @bianca_serda @SharkeyLabMSU @MSUNatSci

@dibble_ted @Yafang_Cheng I have postponed retirement and still need meaningful employment. But we are making progress and the next post-doc will solve it all. Please apply if you are in the market.

@TomSharkeyMSU @Yafang_Cheng Does this mean biologists still don't know how plants benefit by making isoprene? I believe that 20 years ago you suggested we'd have the answer in 10 years!

Post-doc position in the laboratory of Thomas D. Sharkey at Michigan State University to study isoprene and plant physiology. Funded by the National Science Foundation. A one-year position with the possibility of renewal. Careers.MSU.edu posting number 790207

@KirstiAshworth @MSU_Football Thanks Kirsti!

Collaborative work of Yuan Xu, @WielochThomas, @JoshuaKaste, and Yair Shachar-Hill. I think we found answers to several puzzling observations in labeling of photosynthesis intermediates.

Plants feel the heat! The PCE Special Issue on Heat Waves is now out with a great collection of reviews and original papers on this important topic. Congratulations to all authors and a big thank you to the Issue editors Dani Way, @KJagadish_KSU , @TomSharkeyMSU

@SharkeyLabMSU looking for a post-doc to study benefits and costs of #isoprene emission from plants. Help find out why and how this most important hydrocarbon emission from plants to the atmosphere occurs. apply at careers.msu.edu 714579

Is 700 nm a good cutoff for PAR? See this interesting opinion piece with references to good papers showing usefulness of 700+nm light. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@wileyplantsci @FlorianABusch @PlantCellEnvir @SvonCaemmerer I enjoyed working with Xinyou, Paul, and Florian to take a look back on the development of this important model

We're 40 years on from the landmark model by Farquhar, von Caemmerer & Berry on steady-state C3 photosynthesis. This review highlights three major developments of the model. Read more in @PlantCellEnvir: ow.ly/3r3w50ETG2k @SvonCaemmerer @TomSharkeyMSU @FlorianABusch

We need to better understand plant heat stress responses as global temps rise. 🔥 Should we integrate heat stress recovery into breeding programs? This review in @PlantCellEnvir provides a comprehensive overview ➡️ ow.ly/Bo7S50EmpQQ @KJagadish_KSU @TomSharkeyMSU

@leesweetlove @PlantPhys @xyplore Try this one academic.oup.com/plphys/advance…

@PlantPhys @xyplore @TomSharkeyMSU Can someone provide a link that works!?

The Cardon lab @MBLEcosystems @MBLScience seeks a #postdoc to focus on root-microbe-mineral interactions in the #rhizosphere. Interdisciplinary, inter-institutional DOE-funded project. Visit mbl.edu/hr/employment/ "MBL Jobs" Req# POSTD01260. Flexible start date. Plz retweet!

@Kellie_Jean_W @UTPlantSciences any publications yet? this is important for plant physiologists to know abut. too few do

Growing conditions can cause plants to appear drastically different. This is the same cultivar! @UTPlantSciences
