Three decades of work show manipulating RuBP regeneration improves photosynthesis and yield. This week in a @NewPhyt Tansley Insight, @rainc_CAR1 reminds us there is still much more to learn about the CBB cycle and plenty of room for improvement :

To meet future global food supply demands, a team of Illinois researchers tested the potential for increased plant productivity and intrinsic water-use efficiency through the overexpression of ictB in field-grown tobacco 🌱

There 's only ONE week to go before @pintofscience #Colchester so get your tickets NOW - https://t.co/Hw18nzniqa

And get yourself ready for 3 days of truly fascinating talks from local science enthusiasts straight out of @uniofessex @Pintofscience
#Pint22 #LocalScience

[Lorna McKellar @Lorna_McKellar]

Can our forests and seas help save us from rising CO2? Come find out from leading scientists @DrNatalieHicks, @DrTracyLawson, and @shellie_wall about how plants, coasts, and even beavers can lend a helping hand! @pintofscience @Uni_of_Essex

What happens if you perturb the shuttling of NAD(P)H💥 and ATP⚡️ between plant organelles? We targeted connection points chloroplast-cytosol-mitochondria and found changes to the NADH/NAD+ ratios in the dark in tobacco leaves🌱. Out today @JPlantPhysiol!

Congratulations to Tracy Lawson @webofscience highly cited list- @DrTracyLawson @Uni_of_Essex recognising your pioneering work on stomata and the development of new technologies in plant physiology

[Chidi Afamefule @ScienceChidi]

Check out my lockdown project below. Not getting into the lab meant I had the time to think about how Calvin Cycle enzyme regulation differs between C3 and C4 species. Check it out here:

Super happy to see this paper out! Not to be missed!
Well done @ScienceChidi and @rainc_CAR1!
