- Reposted by Amanda CavanaghThe Plastid Preview 2025 spirit has taken over the Pallavi Singh Lab! 🌿🧬 We are gearing up for an exciting meeting of early career researchers in the plant sciences community. Don’t miss the excitement, we look forward to seeing you on 1–2 September! 📅 #PlastidPreview2025 #PlantScience
- I am so happy about this you would think I won the award myself. What a well deserved honour for pioneers of the field.
- Professor Susanne von Caemmerer FRS and Professor Graham Douglas Farquhar FRS are jointly awarded the Royal Medal (Biological) 2025 for refining the ways we monitor and model photosynthesis in leaves from molecular to global scales. #RSMedals royalsociety.org/medals-and-prizes/r…

- Since I’ve moved to England in 2020 we’ve lived through three of the hottest years on record. Unsurprisingly, this is impacting crop yields. Read more about the impact, and the work we do to mitigate this in this weekend’s times: www.thetimes.com/uk/science/a...

It works, but synthetic biology can do better! 🔄 We used metabolic modeling to compare alternative pathways to boost crop yields 🌱 🧵 #ScienceAdvancesResearch www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

- Over 3 pandemic summers @kmeacham-hensold.bsky.social led a fabulous team characterizing a photorespiratory bypass in field-grown potato, giving us more evidence that manipulating PR can enhance crop thermotolerance! Out today : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/oidcS... @globalchangebio.bsky.social
- Even more importantly, the team also showed that this yield benefit had no negative impact on nutritional content of tubers - meaning that we might actually be able to improve crop yield without sacrificing quality. 🥔🥔🥔
