A fully funded PhD project is coming up in my new 'Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied crop Ecophysiology'. An amazing opportunity to study the physiology and biochemistry of C4 plants, and live four years in the vibrant Irish Capital
We are advertising for a PhD position on Photosynthetic Metabolite Exchange (PHOMEX) . Full details can be found here; @FindAPhD:

The article resulting from my PostDoc in Sheffield received the attention of the media team! Trees could be key protagonist for forest–grassland transitions https://t.co/zOU1whNGhe

Un estudio publicado recientemente en la revista Nature Plants muestra, por primera vez, que la transición del bosque a la sabana y viceversa podría estar condicionada por las ventajas y desventajas específicas de los árboles. https://t.co/ulw2frT6ro

This is a great explanation of Setaria’s ‘shady deals’ 😎 a short read if you want to know what is C4 photosynthesis and why it has a problem with low light. Thanks for highlighting our paper with @BellasioChandra @ThePlantJournal!
⚠️New content alert! ⚠️ Have you seen our new Research Highlight 'Shady deals: how Setaria viridis compensates for smaller bundle sheaths in low light' ? Find it in our latest Issue 🌱@SEBiology @wileyplantsci 💡: https://t.co/eavkCkOW6K

Trees' responses to CO2 are at centre stage. Grasses are opportunistic spectators. Grasses' superior tolerance of fire and herbivory pays when trees suffer, leading to the shift from savannah to forest. But grasses have to leave way when trees are back. https://t.co/6sMt1nrsZT

In our new paper we uncover a link between C4 leaf anatomy and electron transport and show that more active CEF in bundle sheath cells helps maintain high rates of C4 photosynthesis in the shade https://t.co/P5eNmQj0T5

We mechanistically link the optical cross section of leaf compartments with the rate of electron transport, the engagement of cyclic electron flow, the relative rate of ATP and NADPH generation and...
