As part of her recently funded UKRI FLF work on engineering C2 photosynthesis, there is an exciting opportunity to work with Marj for a 42 month Senior Postdoctoral Associate role, with the potential for this to be extended. You can find more about the work here. Or on her LEC page here. Application details and further details are available via […]
Well done to Alejandro, Peter, and Elizabete whose work on expression and translation of the different wheat Rubisco Activase isoforms has just been published in Photosynthesis Research. You can check out the paper here: tinyurl.com/3cv9pu8h
Congratulations to Alex Sokolnik who successfully complete his MRes viva this week! Well done! Alex was working on cowpea development, and like many had to adapt and dramatically change his (formerly lab-based) project part way through.
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 […]
