#Recruiting is now fully open for this 3yr postdoc on #wheat #photosynthesis w/ ElizabeteCarmo-Silva ! Details at the link, thanks for patience while a procedural issue was dealt with. Please RT, apps open to June 14th #PlantSciJobs hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…

Really productive first day Roadmapping for Future crops at our Capitalise Stakeholder workshop. Great to have ⁦Gain4Crops⁩ ⁦Photo Boost⁩ ⁦Euroseeds⁩ ⁦WUR Plant⁩ and many more contributing. #future_proof_crops

The PhotoBoost project was recently featured in Farmers Weekly - thanks for the informative piece Emma Gillbard! 🌱☀️ fwi.co.uk/arable/potatoe…

Great to have the first face-to-face meeting of the Photo Boost project here in Lleida!

#Plantbreeding request: at Photo Boost we're speaking to potato and rice growers about improving photosynthesis. Do you know anyone working with grower associations in #Bangladesh or #India? If so, get in touch. Thanks! #sustainability #foodsecurity #photosynthesis

Exited to be in Bangladesh to talk improving #photosynthesis in potato for Photo Boost. Thanks to International Potato Center Dhaka office for all their help getting us to this point.

Today the PhotoBoost team are together to talk photosynthesis in wonderful Aachen. 🌱☀️

There is still time to register for the upcoming Photosynthesis 2030+ webinar happening this Tuesday. capitalise.eu/webinars/ The easy way to learn! #photosynthesis #Rubisco Pallavi Singh Joana Amaral

Potato is one of the most important foods in the world - by understanding the best ways to optimise photosynthesis, we can improve it. PhotoBoost colleagues have just published a paper explaining how: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp… Well done Supreeta Vijayakumar and team! 🌱☀️

Rubisco is essential for photosynthesis - but how is it regulated in crop plants? PhotoBoost and CAPITALISE-H2020 researchers have just published a new paper exploring exactly this question! Well done Joana Amaral, Ana Karla Lobo and ElizabeteCarmo-Silva. 🌱☀️ nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

We recently set out to answer two questions: why improve photosynthesis and how can it be done? Our article "How scientists are helping plants get the most out of photosynthesis" is out today with The Conversation. 👇

"Last year, Kenyan authorities gave Runo and his collaborators permission to grow the gene-edited seeds... Striga is not a problem in wealthier regions — meaning that large, multinational corporations have little incentive to develop solutions for it." 👇 nature.com/articles/d4158…

📢#PlantSciJobs opportunity: Plant Physiologist w/ ElizabeteCarmo-Silva Lancaster Environment Centre . Elizabete is recruiting a postdoc researcher for the Delivering Sustainable Wheat project, if interested & at #monogram24 catch Elizabete or Carmen for a chat, apps close May 9 wp.me/p9L9PV-ik

"Among the most advanced is gene edited low-acrylamide wheat, which has just finished year two of field trials in England, becoming the first Crispr/CAS9 gene edited wheat in European trials." 👇 fwi.co.uk/machinery/tech…

Scientists from the Hutton and University of Dundee Division of Plant Sciences will be showcasing some of our pioneering science at Plant Power Day this Saturday! Join us and celebrate the wonder of plants and recognise their immense importance #plantday 🍃 More: bit.ly/3QPqVyJ

Fantastic week at CEA Cadarache in France discussing a roadmap to improved photosynthesis in Europe with CAPITALISE-H2020 and Gain4Crops! 🌱☀️

New paper from the PhotoBoost team Lancaster Photosynthesis Group exploring how Rubisco activity interacts with chloroplast metabolites. 👏 portlandpress.com/biochemj/artic…

"Before this discovery, scientists had more or less determined the minimum amount of light needed for organisms to take advantage of photosynthesis. However, no living organism has even come close to reaching that minimum level." ☀️👇 thedebrief.org/life-in-the-ab…
