Andrew Willoughby from the Nimchuk Lab at UNC wrote this great intro to RUBY for the Addgene blog! blog.addgene.org/ruby-red-sil...
Was great to celebrate the acceptance of the first PhD student’s paper coming from my lab! 🥳 Congrats to Russell Woodford, thanks to all co-authors and cheers for many more to come 🥂
🚩To all attendees of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on #Photosynthesis and to the wider #PlantScience community, don't miss our Special Issue on Photosynthesis

This is a flyer for a seminar of Prof Christine Raines in Melbourne, La trobe university city campus, room 2.15 on the 18th of Feb 2025 at 10.30 am.
Melbourne Plant Science Community! We have an opportunity to get together again for a seminar of Prof Christine Raines, a pioneer in genetic engineering of plants for improved photosynthesis and growth. Come on Feb 18, 10.30am to LaTrobe City Campus, room 2.15. Please repost & share with colleagues!
Enrique Lopez-Juez from Royal Holloway talked about the importance of practicals (👍👍👍👍👍 agreed). The SEB has a portal with same practicals for higher education, see below.

It’s a great way to share research before it gets published in a journal and not wait for 1-2 years.
Preprints are open for comments so it’s a form of ‘peer-review’ 😊
📢Preprint alert! We found a new PGRL1 paralog which evolved in grasses. Modelling suggests it has a distinct lumen-exposed region, compared to ‘conventional’ PGRL1, which could provide faster regulation of photoprotection. The two PGRL1s are expressed in different cell types in NADP-ME C4 grasses!
Here is a starter to a starter pack for the Aus plant science community. Let’s rebuild. #plantscience
