Our latest! K63-polyUb of the ERECTA receptor kinase by PUB30/31 is required for the ligand induced receptor endocytosis for stomatal patterning. Our results show that ERECTA signals at the PM. Congrats, Liangliang, Minh & the team🌱! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Today at SEB 2025, we have an exciting #LICOR workshop looking at plant gas exchange across scales🌿🌾💦🌏. Environmental scientist Ian Smillie will introduce cutting-edge technologies that enable leaf to ecosystem level measuring of plant performance. #photosynthesis #stomata @sebiology.bsky.social

Day 1 of SEB 2025 in Antwerp. What a great venue 🏛🦁! It was real pleasure to be part of the P3 PEPG session looking at plant #photosynthesis this morning alongside speakers including @oulaghannoum.bsky.social. From now, time to enjoy the afternoon talks. @sebiology.bsky.social

Really looking forward to SEB 2025 in Antwerp this week. A really interesting #photosynthesis session tomorrow, followed by a #stomata session on Wednesday (I'll be co-chairing with @casparchater.bsky.social). Then on Thursday, #LICOR have a gas exchange workshop. @sebiology.bsky.social

Happy to share details of an online seminar I'll be taking part in tomorrow where I'll discuss #stomata. This will include evolution, biotechnology and "sensing" of stomata (including drone data capture). It's an early start, from 7.30am UK time - so don't forget to grab coffee ☕️. Login details 👇

RIPE Researchers, in work done for the CABBI Project, demonstrated that increasing the Rubisco enzyme in C4 crops like sorghum and sugar cane increases photosynthesis and yield as well! Their work was published in the National Academy of Sciences proceedings.

It's been a long time coming but I'm very happy to share this preprint with folks. 🙂 Thanks again to the Royal Society for funding this research. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Plantscience #Plantevolution #Fernbiology

I'm looking for a postdoc to work for 3 years on the function of #circadian clock proteins in wheat. I also have a full-funded PhD opportunity. #plantscience Postdoc applications close on 2 April. jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/91954...

Recently, two papers showed the potential of population genetics in Marchantia from @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social and Dolan's lab. Here is my dispatch for Current Biology talking about them. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Still time to apply for this! Deadline the 17th of March.

An interesting new story about MYB59 contribution to WUE at high temperature in #Arabidopsis by John Ferguson, Oliver Brendel and @ubechtold.bsky.social. #stomata #roots www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.27.640580v1

TODAY is DEADLINE DAY for abstract submissions for talks and posters at SEB 2025! @casparchater.bsky.social and I have a great lineup of Keynote speakers in our #stomata session including SEB president @proftlawson.bsky.social. Please spread the word!

If you want to present your latest #stomata research at SEB 2025, there are only 4 days until the submission deadline(7th of March)!! Excitingly, @casparchater.bsky.social and I can now also announce a brand new Workshop focused on measuring gas exchange across scales with @li-corenv.bsky.social👇👇

Looking for a PhD? Come work with us on Horizontal Gene Transfer in crops! Deadline 14th March www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Please repost: BBSRC funded PhD opportunity. Please get in touch for further project info. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Really glad to finally share this work. The first research conducted with @drhollycroft.bsky.social, in collaboration with ADAS UK. We used #optical and #thermal data from #drones together with ground measurements to map #wheat🌾 traits and fluxes. @sheffieldpps.bsky.social doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Here at @rothamsted.bsky.social we are fortunate to have a very large area of GM glasshouse. Here we are growing up enough plants to transform 18 different constructs, optimising the accumulation of EPA&DHA omega-3 fish oils. Camelina is the ideal crop for such an iterative approach.

Only 2 weeks to go until the deadline for talk and poster abstracts for SEB 2025. @casparchater.bsky.social and I are really looking forward to hosting keynotes @proftlawson.bsky.social, Dr John Ferguson and Dr Lorna McAusland for a session on #stomata and #crops. @sebiology.bsky.social Please RT!!

Another great job opportunity @BristolBioSci. This one is a lectureship in evolutionary biology, and we are looking for an academic lead to our MSc in bioinformatics, so genomics and phylogenetics will be strong cards to play!

Well, this is exciting, a first ever foray into 🌳 stomata. First up, the "living fossil" Ginkgo biloba, and the tulip tree 🌷Magnolia soulangeana. Can't wait! @drhollycroft.bsky.social

SEB 2025 keynote speakers confirmed! SEB president Tracy Lawson, University of Essex Lecturer John Ferguson and BBSRC Discovery Fellow Lorna McAusland will all give talks in #stomata session P5. @casparchater.bsky.social www.sebiology.org/events/seb-a.... Abstract deadline March 7th. Please RT!

New Tansley review paper from Zoe Pierrat & friends in @newphyt.bsky.social linking proximal remote sensing with ecosystem fluxes! Synergies and best practices for hyperspectral reflectance, SIF, thermal, microwave and lidar 🌈🌲🗼🛰️🧪 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Really looking forward to this meeting at SEB 2025 in Antwerp, Belgium. Along with @casparchater.bsky.social, we have a session planned on #stomata and #crops🌾 across scales🔬➡️🌎. Abstract deadline is the 7th of March. See link for session details. Please RT/repost 🙏
