My first opinion paper is out! I learned so much writing it with @ClaireRavenburg @vanwijklab. We look at how Clp chaperone Uvr motifs regulate proteolytic activity and substrate selection and propose candidate regulator proteins in chloroplasts. authors.elsevier.com/a/1j%7ELw4rGdj…

The @michiganstateu Plant Resilience Institute has been granted a 2024 Global Centers award through the @NSF and its partner agencies. The International Research Center for Enhancing Plant Resilience addresses the critical challenge of stabilizing global food production amid unpredictable weather patterns. It brings together experts from the United States, Canada, Japan, Republic of Korea, and United Kingdom to explore sustainable solutions for agriculture.
