Such a treat to have Eliza-san @elizaloopi.bsky.social from HHU DΓΌsseldorf visit us in MΓΌnster yesterday!π
Super cool talk on the spatial distribution of metabolites and microbiota (plus transporters!).
We are excited to welcome Akari Maeda as a new postdoc in our lab π
Akari is supported by a JSPS fellowship associated with the JSPS Ikushi Prize, one of Japanβs most prestigious honours for outstanding doctoral researchers, awarded for her work on the circadian clock. Welcome!
Thank you, Thorben! Have a nice holiday too!
See you in MΓΌnster next year, Ora!
Very grateful for being back at my PhD supervisor's group in Japan and giving my progress report. Insightful discussion and suggestions for my projects next year βοΈ
Now, wish all a merry Christmas and a happy New yearπ

SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW π
βοΈ
Heuvelink et al. examine how light intensity, photoperiod, spectrum, directionality and energy regulate whole-plant physiological processes including morphogenesis, sourceβsink interactions and assimilate partitioning.

Figure 1 from Kinoshita and Finkemeier article showing gas-exchange measurements of petiole-cut Arabidopsis leaves in the whole plant chambers of the LI-6800 system. Panel A shows a schematic diagram of the method i.e. petiole cutting on wet paper and insertion of leaves into a parafilm-sealed dish containing water. Panels B-E are graphs that show C02 assimilation and transpiration rates under different conditions tested
Chamber of Secrets?
