Check out this report on some of the worlds coolest fishes, many of vital importance to the culture and livelihoods of peoples along the Mekong - and many at risk of disappearing and so we would lose the cultural and ecological heritage they represent. 🐟🎣🎏🍛🌏

Read Georgia Taylor’s latest, on deconvoluting stomatal responses to red light! 🚦 ⚖️ Ci-dependent and independent pathways are distinct, and contribute equally 💨 …except at high Ci, where the independent response is suppressed (they interact!) academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

Thrilled to see this paper out! part of research done by @KewScience MSc graduate Emma Wodcke in collaboration with the great Barry Hammel from MO Botanical Garden who generously shared w/us his vast expertise in #CentralAmerican plants #FridayFeeling #PuraVida🇨🇷#Chévere🇵🇦@KewAmericas

A week left to apply! 🚨 I’m looking for a research technician to join us Oxford Biology and to help set up an efficient transformation pipeline in the C4 species Gynandropsis. Come work with us on leaf anatomy and photosynthesis! 🌱🪴 Find out more 👇 my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecruit…

Plz RT. Postdoc position: We are looking for a plant biologist with a strong interest in the model system Marchantia and comparative studies with flowering plants. Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) Cambridge University jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/46686/

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 New review paper out: We outline the uncertainties/ambiguities that are present when estimating mesophyll conductance (gm). We also explore whether genetically engineering higher gm will lead to greater crop yields. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

📚TWO FULLY FUNDED PHDs with us + Julian Hibberd! FOCUS: the untapped potential of C4 orphan crop G. gynandra - use genetic and molecular tools to identify avenues for improving it, or for engineering of C4 photosynthesis! For UK nationals & Jan ‘25 start, apply before 15 July.

Does anyone have Bartz minirhizotron camera controllers they are no longer using? Please get in touch by email ([email protected]) if you might be willing to sell/share/donate them. #root_phenotyping

New paper out - led by Milad Rahimi-Majd This study uses non-linear models to explore the relationships between anatomy and leaf mesophyll conductance onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… 🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴

(2/2) The CABBI team's research on improved water use efficiency in C4 bioenergy crops is outlined in two papers published today in the Oxford University Press Journal of Experimental Botany: ✅academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar… ✅academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

Read these 2 hot JXB papers now: 🌿🔬Interactions between stomatal density & aperture: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/er… 🍃💧Reduced stomatal density for greater WUE in a C4 crop: doi.org/10.1093/jxb/er… Andrew Leakey John Ferguson They'll feature in a special issue on stomata very soon

📢 Preprint from us at the Kelly lab (in case you missed it!)📢 We engineered improved plant water-use efficiency and biomass accumulation under water-limiting conditions by manipulating co-factor metabolism in stomatal progenitor cells! 🪴🥤🆒

Can anyone help me ID this species? Please reshare

We are embarking on an exciting journey- come work with us! We are also looking for 2 PDRAs!! vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru… vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru… Apply online before Nov. 5. Please RT!
