If you were puzzled by variations of PSII abundance and activity in C4 bundle sheath cells, in our new paper we propose a regulatory mechanism explaining the differences reported between growth conditions, NADP-ME species and C4 subtypes https://t.co/jOErpbqL3B @leaf2field

[The RIPE Project @RIPEproject]

In their recent study, ANU team (@PlantSci_ANU) led by RIPE researcher Ben Long (@botbml) used a mathematical model to gain insight on specialized compartments in Rubisco that can possibly help increase crop yield.

Our new sorghum pangenome, just published in Nature Plants, provides a platform for researchers to investigate the entire gene repertoire within the primary gene-pool of cultivated sorghum.

Our new preprint! This is the first C4 aquaporin shown to be a functional CO2 pore in vivo. When expressed in mesophyll cells, it enhances mesophyll conductance and increases the initial slope of ACi curve @SvonCaemmerer @RobertSharwood @bobfurbank @leaf2field @BiologyANU
