In our new paper we uncover a link between C4 leaf anatomy and electron transport and show that more active CEF in bundle sheath cells helps maintain high rates of C4 photosynthesis in the shade onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp… Chandra Bellasio

Trees' responses to CO2 are at centre stage. Grasses are opportunistic spectators. Grasses' superior tolerance of fire and herbivory pays when trees suffer, leading to the shift from savannah to forest. But grasses have to leave way when trees are back. rdcu.be/cUlAP

This is a great explanation of Setaria’s ‘shady deals’ 😎 a short read if you want to know what is C4 photosynthesis and why it has a problem with low light. Thanks for highlighting our paper with Chandra Bellasio The Plant Journal!

Un estudio publicado recientemente en la revista Nature Plants muestra, por primera vez, que la transición del bosque a la sabana y viceversa podría estar condicionada por las ventajas y desventajas específicas de los árboles. diari.uib.es/Hemeroteca/El-…

The article resulting from my PostDoc in Sheffield received the attention of the media team! Trees could be key protagonist for forest–grassland transitions sheffield.ac.uk/biosciences/ne…

A fully funded PhD project is coming up in my new 'Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied crop Ecophysiology'. An amazing opportunity to study the physiology and biochemistry of C4 plants, and live four years in the vibrant Irish Capital
