NEWS & VIEWS: Roles of cyclic electron transport in powering the evolution of C4 photosynthesis (Yuzhen Fan) https://t.co/YEqKGQXkpP @YuzhenFan@ASPB#PlantSci
Two PhD opportunities at the Australian National University and the University of Technology Sydney, working on thermal responses and thermal acclimation of C4 photosynthesis.

My beautiful Portulaca grandiflora flowered today. This smart C4 + CAM species can switch between C4 and CAM in response to drought stress. Plus, it has pretty flowers!
Touring Western Australia with C4 pioneer Rowan Sage, his student Arthur Leung, and our excellent tech @elliek_jordan. We are on a mission to collect seeds of native Oz C4 plants for next-gen research. Incredible landscape and 5,000+ km drive! Once-in-a-lifetime experience.
RIPE Researchers, in work done for @CABBIbio, demonstrated that increasing the Rubisco enzyme in C4 crops like sorghum and sugar cane increases photosynthesis and yield as well!
Their work was published in the @theNASciences proceedings. https://t.co/NTrBgZconT

This is how one should dress up for all meetings during holiday season. Excellent chat with Rowan Sage and @OwenAtkin (hiding behind the camera; no, he didn’t dress up) about how evolution may have altered respiratory mechanism in C4 plants.
I’m also pleased and excited to share that I will be working with Ali and others as Plant Physiology AFEs starting in 2026. Looking forward to servicing my community.
Very excited to share that I will be joining @PlantPhys as an Assistant Feature Editor, starting in early 2026! Really looking forward to gaining valuable editor experience and connecting with other AFEs and plant physiologists across the world!🌱https://t.co/OlPRLkCngA
Our excellent PhD student @Xuan_Xuan_Hu attended her very first conference #ASPS2024 and took home the best student presentation runner-up as souvenir! @OwenAtkin Lab.
Successful fan No.1 meeting the C4 physiology pioneer Rowan Sage at C4 photosynthesis workshop funded by @USGS John Wesley Powell Centre. Don’t just stand on the shoulders of giants, stand next to them too.
Looking forward to reading this contribution from Lou et al. on distribution of C4 plants across the world and how their abundance is changing through time. @nick_greg_smith

First day back to the lab of @OwenAtkin and received a warm welcome from colleague/mate @AndrewScafaro - matching tops and bottoms! Disclaimer: we didn't communicate beforehand about fashion choices and we are not sponsored by Uniqlo.
The long-awaited release of @LongLab’s @TEDTalks is here!
Watch the talk, “Can we hack photosynthesis to feed the world,” about how changes to photosynthesis could help reduce food insecurity & CO2 in the atmosphere.
