Well done Bailey

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.

Short video for Sales et al. JXB

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.

Congratulations Gustaf!

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. […]

New publication on RbcS in Arabidopsis now online

Well done to Doug Orr and Elizabete Carmo-Silva who have recently contributed to an article characterizing Rubisco small subunit mutants published in the Journal of Experimental Botany. This work was led by our friends in the McCormick lab at the University of Edinburgh with contributions from a number of collaborators. It was led by PK who has recently completed his […]

New publication comparing methods for measuring Rubisco activity

Well done and great job by Cris Sales, Anabela Bernardes da Silva (Lisbon) and Elizabete Carmo-Silva who have recently published an article in the Journal of Experimental Botany and a related protocols piece. This has been a big effort led by Cris to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of various methods of determining Rubisco activity and activation state, including ease […]
