Excited to share our work on photoprotection in plants! We found that SOQ1 functions as a methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) in the thylakoid lumen! Congrats all authors π₯³ See the preprint here:

Photosynthetic organisms must balance light absorption and energy dissipation to prevent photo-oxidative damage. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) dissipates excess light energy as heat, with the...

When you have an album on your cellphone full pictures related to plants, bacteria, enzymes tubes, plates, etc... It means that you are back to the bench π§«. In that case, I'm back to the bench!! π§πΎβπ¬

Agnes Arber was born #OnThisDay in 1879. Agnes was a British plant morphologist and anatomist, historian of #botany and philosopher of #biology. In recognition of her contributions, she was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society in 1946, the first woman botanist to be elected.

Great work of authors Fultz, McKinlay and Enganti to fully sequence the Arabidopsis NORs (adding the final missing ~9.4 Mbp of the genome), and map the positions of active and silenced rRNA genes within them, is now published, open access !

Sequencing and activity mapping of Arabidopsis thaliana NORs reveals the epigenetic parameters of their alternative on/off states.

Happy to share that the chemistry of the black nectar of Melianthus is now published. It started with a discussion with @rachelvannette at a conference about this sp and finding out that it grew on the UC Davis campus, expediting the access to it. Haha!
