Thanks @Jenson_Melanie for featuring my research in the latest @CottonResearch Spotlight magazine! 🤩 You can read about my obsession with the wild #gossypium species & my goals of uncovering their #heat & #drought tolerance traits for #cotton here: crdc.com.au/publications/s…

Review by Xinyou Yin of @CSA_WUR, with @SvonCaemmerer , @TomSharkeyMSU and @FlorianABusch on the FvCB model and extensions over the past 40 years! @WURplant @wileyplantsci @PlantCellEnvir

If you were puzzled by variations of PSII abundance and activity in C4 bundle sheath cells, in our new paper we propose a regulatory mechanism explaining the differences reported between growth conditions, NADP-ME species and C4 subtypes doi.org/10.1111/tpj.15… @leaf2field

In their recent study, ANU team (@PlantSci_ANU) led by RIPE researcher Ben Long (@botbml) used a mathematical model to gain insight on specialized compartments in Rubisco that can possibly help increase crop yield. 🌿: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… 🌱: bit.ly/2Q6riZK

The new sorghum pan-genome is based on 13 new de novo assembled genomes, including 4 wild relatives, integrated with 3 published genomes and reports >44K gene families, with 64% showing presence/absence variation. rdcu.be/ckZGW @T_Yongfu @SorgGuy @CropTrust @leaf2field

Our new sorghum pangenome, just published in Nature Plants, provides a platform for researchers to investigate the entire gene repertoire within the primary gene-pool of cultivated sorghum. rdcu.be/ckZGW @T_Yongfu @SorgGuy @UQ_News @CropTrust @leaf2field

All life on Earth is based on photosynthesis. Researchers are studying photosynthesis with the aim of increasing the yield of important food crops to address global food shortages. Via @leaf2field 🌱 ow.ly/Wtsv50EGVYA

Happy Fascination of Plants Day! Plants are not only awesome but crucial for our lives. Watch how @leaf2field researchers have been improving #photosynthesis to increase global food security and crop resilience to climate change @ScienceAcademy @PlantDay18May.

Our new preprint! This is the first C4 aquaporin shown to be a functional CO2 pore in vivo. When expressed in mesophyll cells, it enhances mesophyll conductance and increases the initial slope of ACi curve @SvonCaemmerer @RobertSharwood @bobfurbank @leaf2field @BiologyANU

Expression of a CO2-permeable aquaporin enhances mesophyll conductance in the C4 species Setaria viridis biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants
