New Article: "Plant traits shape global spatiotemporal variations in photosynthetic efficiency" rdcu.be/efNHI Integrating remote sensing and eco-evolutionary theory, this study explains 80–84% of photosynthetic efficiency variation across ecosystems.

New paper in Journal of Evolutionary Biology! 🌿🦗 Just a few genetic loci shape the green-brown polymorphism in meadow grasshoppers! Simple Mendelian inheritance, yet long-term balancing selection keeps variation alive. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jeb/vo… #Evolution #Genetics #Orthoptera Population Ecology Group Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology

We created the publicly accessible RiceDevLeaf Database (nipgr.ac.in/DEV-LEAF/), integrating gene expression and regulatory networks across developmental stages. This platform is a valuable resource for exploring genetic regulation of leaf development and photosynthesis.

Glad to be part of this work 🌾!
