Cytochrome c oxidase inactivation in Physcomitrium patens reveals that respiration coordinates plant metabolism (Antoni M Vera-Vives , Marco Mellon , Libero Gurrieri , Philipp Westhoff , et. al.) doi.org/10.1093/plce... #PlantScience

New preprint on moss photoprotection from Claudia Beraldo PhD work! 🍀🌞 #Physcomitrium patens has multiple photoprotective strategies to acclimate under high & fluctuating light. #Photosynthesis #Photoprotection @tmoro.bsky.social shorturl.at/zc53u

Our roadmap, “Time to Translate,” on harnessing photosynthesis for better crops in the EU, was featured in @lemonde.fr! 🌱 www.lemonde.fr/sciences/art...

Excited to share this work from our lab @IBPC and collaborators! Thanks to diatoms, some of the mysteries surrounding phytochrome photoreceptors in the oceans are beginning to be unraveled! Phytochrome remains the "pigment of imagination’ Congratulations to all the authors! doi.org/10.1038/s415...

This great article by @annameldolesi.bsky.social is a promising example of how #NewGenomicTechniques could help protect vines and reduce the impacts of fungicides in #SoilHealth. Our #H2020 project uses similar genetic tools to boost #photosynthesis in sunflower. 🌻 #GiveGenesAChance #PlantScience
