Really valuable publication recently out from a large group of people including Lancasters Sam Taylor and Marj Lundgren. This new paper “A reporting format for leaf-level gas exchange data and metadata” is just that, a set of advice and conventions for reporting your gas exchange. This will help the community more easily share data on repositories and facilitate more detailed […]
Congratulations are in order for team member Louis Caruana, who last week passed his MRes viva. Well done Louis! Louis’ did a great job having to adjust to an silico project like may others in the changing circumstances, and has produced some very nice work on Rubisco, Rca and related genes. Thanks also to the internal and external examiners for […]
Well done to group members Louis Caruana and Alex Sokolnik who both recently submitted their Masters by Research theses, and are now preparing for their vivas. Great job on all your hard work on this in challenging times!
A massive congrats to our resident C2 expert PI Marjorie Lundgren! She has been awarded a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to continue her exciting work on C2 here at Lancaster! You can see the news item from Lancaster here, and check out a recent review by Marj.
In a new publication now online in New Phytologist, research led by former PhD student Gustaf with Doug and Elizabete shows how heat stress alters the amount of Rubisco activase in wheat leaves in an isoform-specific manner. Part of our International Wheat Yield Partnership (IWYP) research, this work is another step towards understanding not only how plants alter their photosynthetic […]
Check out this great Humboldt review by photosynthesis legend Susanne von Caemmerer, recently published in the Journal of Plant Physiology to commemorate the discovery of the dual nature of Rubisco some 50 years ago. This is a clear, very readable review of the ways the oxygenase side of Rubisco is fundamental to so much of our understanding of photosynthesis, and […]
Photosynthetic induction and its limitations. New RIPE publication now out in PC&E: Well done to Sam Taylor for leading a publication in Plant, Cell and Environment on variability in photosynthetic induction among closely related Brassica crops. Alongside comparing these important species, Sam also developed enhanced gas exchange methods for more accurately determining photosynthetic induction and its limitations. Doug, Elizabete, and […]
Great job by Bailey and a number of members of the team with the publication of work from Bailey’s MSc thesis in Agronomy journal. Well deserved reward for all of Baileys hard work during her Masters research last year, where she investigated photosynthesis and water use efficiency in contrasting wheat cultivars at different developmental stages.
As part of her articles role as the first of a new Technical Innovations series at the Journal of Experimental Botany, and to bring attention to first authors through the ‘Celebrating First Authors’ videos, check out the short video by Cris to give a short context and description of her recently published work.

Big congrats to the Dr Gustaf Degen, who has successfully completed his PhD viva on his thesis research into Rubisco Activase in wheat. He was supervised by Elizabete Carmo-Silva and Martin Parry. He’s made a number of interesting findings, you can see some of these in a recent paper he led with Dawn and Elizabete, with more in the works. […]
