Here is my @currentbiology.bsky.social dispatch on an excellent article by the @coudertlab.bsky.social. Re-visiting the shoot branching field (and learning many new things in the process!) brought back fond memories from my time at @slcuplants.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Joshua trees make the cover of @newphyt.bsky.social for the issue with our paper, led by @kheyduk.bsky.social, showing that they use water-saving CAM photosynthesis — but only sometimes 🌿 buff.ly/WnPoRXa

It was so wonderful to share science with the little ones 😊.

Effect of temperature on circadian clock functioning of trees in the context of global warming Plant survival in a warmer world requires the timely adjustment of biological processes to cyclical changes in the new environment. Circadian oscillators have been proposed to contribute to thermal ...

Very pertinent work, highlighting the important role of the circadian clock function in trees! Felicidades @veronicaarana.bsky.social and colleagues, nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Thanks Nico you did it first here😁 thanks for sharing!
We are really happy to tell that our article is finally out in New Phytologist 🌳🕐🌘☀️

I've put together this Starter Pack because I still miss connecting with many Arctic colleagues on this platform. Apologies if I missed adding some of you, but you're all welcome to join!

Figure from the paper, showing BOOSTER-overexpressing poplar plants that are about twice as tall as the negative controls. Googly eyes (not from original paper) look at the taller plants.

BOOSTER, a newly identified orphan gene, supercharges photosynthesis and, when overexpressed, boosts height of poplars by up to 200% (at least in greenhouse)

To make it even more interesting, part of the gene seems derived from a poplar fungus-farming ant 🐜

Thank you for the list I work in plant ecophysiology and also in molecular biology (in some papers I combine both) I would be happy if you can add me to the list....thanks!
