Temperatures that switch on plant programmed cell death are now reality. In our new viewpoint article @NewPhyt we propose that studying the heat induced mortality at cellular level can contribute to strategies for heat stress mitigation. https://t.co/bGyVWdaPk6

Work led by Patrick Quille who defended his thesis last week! As usual pleasure to work with Patrick, Shane and @carl_ky_ng.
Our recent review on use of biostimulants for improving nutrient use efficiency. We highlight the need for systematic approach, including precise calculations of NUE and conducting trials under both optimum and sub-optimum nutrient conditions. https://t.co/NwmhdNIb1u
