Thrilled to share our review exploring the future of controlled environment agriculture, both for farming in the face of climate change and as a tool for fundamental plant science! 🪴💡 @alexwebblab.bsky.social @jennymortimer1.bsky.social @ionplants.bsky.social

Very much looking forward to ASPS this November in Adelaide! Always a great time connecting with plant scientists from across the country

The ARC CoE in Plants for Space (P4S, plants4space.com) are at #IAC2025 in Sydney! Members are speaking/chairing sessions all week, including our special session on Tues at 16.20 in C4.4 - Connecting Country to Deep Space: Ancient Lessons in Sustainability for Agriculture Beyond Earth.

Pleasure to meet and hear from NASA Emeritus Senior Scientist Ray Wheeler today! Ray is a wealth of knowledge on controlled environments for food and life support, having led the advanced life support research group. I'm lucky to be collaborating with him on LEAF which will grow plants on the moon🌿🌕

Saved the best till last - really enjoyed today's gas exchange workshop with Yazen and Steven from @w-u-r.bsky.social at the 2025 PEPG Field Techniques Workshop. @sebiology.bsky.social Can't wait to get stuck into some A-Ci curves and chlorophyll fluorescence once I'm back in Aus 🥳

PEPG Techniques Workshop 2025 going down a treat 🌿 Photos from yesterday's workshop on water relations and today's on chlorophyll fluorescence, as well as pastel de nata and Quinta horses @sebiology.bsky.social

📢Come work with us! We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the ARIA-funded PlantPlug project🌱 Be part of pioneering work turning mistletoe into programmable plant biointerfaces🧬 More information: vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrec... #PlantScience #PostdocJobs #SyntheticBiology

Excited to be at this year's PEPG Field Techniques Workshop in beautiful Portugal! Highlight of day one was putting names to faces in person and making new connections 😁 @sebiology.bsky.social @cavycavs.bsky.social @lornamca.bsky.social @erikmurch.bsky.social @moore-science.bsky.social

Professor Susanne von Caemmerer FRS and Professor Graham Douglas Farquhar FRS are jointly awarded the Royal Medal (Biological) 2025 for refining the ways we monitor and model photosynthesis in leaves from molecular to global scales. #RSMedals https://royalsociety.org/medals-and-prizes/royal-medals/

Pleased to share the fifth and final paper from my PhD - a collaboration with the APPN investigating industrial hemp growth and temporal water use using state-of-the-art phenotyping platforms. 🌿 www.publish.csiro.au/fp/Fulltext/FP24266 @bethloveys.bsky.social @bberger-au.bsky.social

P4S had a visit from the Australian Space Agency (including astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg) last week. It was great to chat about my current research with the Lunar Effects on Agricultural Flora (LEAF) project - an Artemis III mission which will send plants to the moon! 🌿🚀🌕

Aleks from Vertical Future looking a little concerned before his parabolic flight tomorrow with our autonomous agriculture unit designed for ISS. This is an outcome of a grant from @ukspaceagency.bsky.social which I had the joy of participating with many partners in @plants4space.bsky.social

From Plant Sciences PhD to Professor of Plant Synthetic Biology – where could studying plant sciences take you? It the latest of our alumni stories, Prof. Jenny Mortimer talks about studying here & how it helped shape her career. Read her story: tinyurl.com/7ac5yxfw @jennymortimer1.bsky.social

Delighted to receive a shoutout from Peter Hoj AC in the University of Adelaide Staff News yesterday! I am very grateful to the Playford Trust and Fulbright Australia for their support during my PhD, and I am excited to see what the future holds 🪴🚀

How many brains does it take to set up a Li-6800 aquatic chamber?! Lots of fun this morning with @bethloveys.bsky.social, @aaronlphillips.bsky.social, et al. We successfully got the chamber up and running! Excited to put it through its paces

This post is now online, for full details on how to apply please see: wp.lancs.ac.uk/lancsphotosy...

The Phytogen special issue (women shaping the future of plant science in Australia) is live: www.asps.org.au/archives/53736 Guest-edited by @bethloveys.bsky.social and @alisonrbentley.bsky.social. With @tatiana-biochem.bsky.social, @bethpenrose.bsky.social and other scientists! @asps-oz.bsky.social

Loved our chat! Great to learn more about your career and the steps that brought you to the Waite :)

Proud to share the fourth paper from my PhD! Hemp stomata drive water conservation and assimilation, with stomata responding rapidly to changes in water availability. @aaronlphillips.bsky.social @bethloveys.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.envexpbot.2025.106119

For more information, see www.linkedin.com/posts/arc-ce... Have a look at the links in the advert, and then if you're interested, send me an email with your CV, details about your background in plant molecular biology and glycobiology, and why this project interests you.

We've got an exciting (funded) opportunity for someone who wants to undertake a PhD in plant sciences -you'll work with the international #LEAF team on an Artemis III deployed instrument to understand how plants and their cell walls respond to lunar gravity. #plantsci #glycotime #space 🚀🌱

Great to be in Canberra at the LI-COR ANU Gas Exchange Workshop with @aaronlphillips.bsky.social. Thanks for the support to be here, @bethloveys.bsky.social 🌱 this morning's theory session was super valuable

New paper! @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social AM fungi decreased the bioavailability of micronutrients (Zn + Fe) in rice 🌾 We used Synchrotron XFM to look at micronutrient concentrations in the aleurone layer of +/- AMF rice, and compared them to wholegrain concentrations 🧐 doi.org/10.1002/ppp3...

Excited to share our latest research! Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can improve the water use and P acquisition efficiencies of aerobically grown Aus rice 🌾🍚 @mycoresearch.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
