The Experimental Plant Systems Biology Lab led by @drdevangm at @KU_Leuven studies plant chronobiology for climate adaptation.
Joined February 2022
🌅Delighted to share a paper that spanned the start of not one but TWO labs, now out in @ScienceAdvances. With @LabUhrig we discovered that plants sense the duration of TWILIGHT via their clock genes LHY/CCA1!.A 🧵on what this really means:.

Finally, a huge thanks to everyone at @LabUhrig, especially @SabineScando for persevering with this project through a pandemic and making this paper happen. Also, this would not have been possible without support from @NSERC_CRSNG and the brilliant people at @G2VOptics! (fin).
