Excited to see our story on epigenetic mediated aclimation of plants to fluctuating light patterns out today in doi.org/10.1111/nph..... This work started 6 years ago co-supervised with the amazing @proftlawson.bsky.social and led by the brilliant @robynemm.bsky.social. 1/2

🌱 First up, our invited speaker Christine Raines (University of Essex, UK) talking about “Improving photosynthesis for sustainable crop productivity” 🌿 Christine was JXB’s first female EIC (2012–2020) and also gave a wonderful tribute to Prof. Stephen Long during her talk. #JXB75 #PlantScience 🧪

Thrilled to share our new paper - now out in @jxbotany.bsky.social This work explores how contrasting leaf traits shape photosynthetic efficiency and resilience in wild and cultivated tomatoes. Huge thanks to @proftlawson.bsky.social and other coauthors! @sebiology.bsky.social t.co/WTSMeCIlxk

Throwback to a setup we fine-tuned for measuring gas exchange in tomato fruit. Optimising this protocol was key to comparing metabolic differences across genotypes during fruit development 🌱🍅 Big thanks to @proftlawson.bsky.social @andrewsimkin.bsky.social @mjtplantbiology.bsky.social

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!

Last Day to register for the inaugural @BlackInPlantSci conference. Join us for a Day of community building, professional growth and JOY. Celebrate #BlackHistoryMonthUK 2024 by #ReclaimingNarratives I am soo looking forward to this!
