Our new research paper @FrontiersIn looks at gene expression responses to #marineheatwave and shading in the giant #Posidonia #seagrass clone from #SharkBay #Gathaagudu #RNASeq #FrontiersInPlantScience #climatechange

[Maria Jung @CoralEMU]

New PhD paper out in @NewPhyt!🎉
We unraveled different response mechanisms in leaf #metabolism of temperate & tropical #seagrasses🌱when exposed to extreme climatic events under #oceanwarming with indication of early warning potential.⏰

First PhD chapter published!
@BiologyOpen: RNA-seq shows tissue-specific regulation of vital plant processes, allowing the #worldslargestplant #Posidonia to thrive in variable environments in Shark Bay #Gathaagudu.

First #PhD paper is out!🤓
Here we show how #metabolomics can help to enhance #seagrass #monitoring by unravelling #seasonal (stress) mechanisms in the #seagrass #Halophilaovalis - a key species in Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan-Canning Estuary).

Philipp Bayer of @SAgE_UWA is a recent @arc_gov_au DECRA recipient and his talk "Machine learning in bioinformatics – where are we and what’s next" will cover examples and the occasional solution to pitfalls using machine learning in the life sciences with a focus on genomics.

@uwanews Looking forward to continuing #seagrass research with our great team @GaryAKendrick @_MBreed @SiegyK Saving seagrass from climate change on #Gathaagudu #DP21

[Elizabeth Sinclair @SeagrassLiz]

Great to be back up in Gatharragudu #Malgana Country Who says we can’t grow #Posidonia? 2.5 years on transplants are growing well!!

First major mesocosm experiment finished! And during a pandemic too! While we investigated the responses of #posidonia, #amphibolis and #halodule to environmental stress, we discovered a few hitchhikers along the way but Kermit below is our favourite. Now for the 3500+ samples...

[Elizabeth Sinclair @SeagrassLiz]

Experiments don’t wait for pandemics – 2 months into our environmental stress experiment plants are established. How will the different #seagrasses respond as the temperature rises? #Posidonia #Amphibolis #Halodule

[Rachel Austin @Rachel_Austin_]

My 972 #seagrass children are growing! Seeing some amazing root growth already after 2 months which is great news for them but makes my job of extraction harder!

[Elizabeth Sinclair @SeagrassLiz]

16 days post-planting and our #seagrass transplants are acclimating well thanks to our fabulous team @Rachel_Austin_ @CoralEMU @Research_Booth

Whole plant approach to measuring the response of temperate #seagrasses to environmental stressors and simulated #extremeclimateevents? #Posidonia #Amphibolis #plantphysiology #geneexpression #proteomics #metabolomics
All plants acclimating to their new home @BiolSci_UWA

#Posidonia meadows in #SharkBay #Gatharragudu Sea Country were showing strong signs of recovery following the 2010/11 #marineheatwave while #Amphibolis was not https://t.co/KmYLsKkDiJ. How will these #seagrasses cope with another? #adaptation #geneexpression @arc_gov_au @BiolSci

Super stoked to get my first @WCVID seed grant to work with @MerchantArnaud and @ELeuridan in Belgium next year! Thanks @PeterCRichmond, @drruththornton, @njtwood and Anita Van Den Biggelaar for your support and guidance! #grantnewbie #qualitynotquantity #antibodiesforlife
