Expression of a CO2-permeable aquaporin enhances mesophyll conductance in the C4 species Setaria viridis biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_plants

Our new preprint! This is the first C4 aquaporin shown to be a functional CO2 pore in vivo. When expressed in mesophyll cells, it enhances mesophyll conductance and increases the initial slope of ACi curve Susanne vonCaemmerer Robert Sharwood @BobFurbank ARC CoETP Biology at ANU

Happy Fascination of Plants Day! Plants are not only awesome but crucial for our lives. Watch how ARC CoETP researchers have been improving #photosynthesis to increase global food security and crop resilience to climate change @ScienceAcademy Fascination of Plants Day.

All life on Earth is based on photosynthesis. Researchers are studying photosynthesis with the aim of increasing the yield of important food crops to address global food shortages. Via ARC CoETP 🌱 ow.ly/Wtsv50EGVYA

Great seminar from Yazen Al-Salman today for the Western Sydney - HIE seminar series! Yazen took us through his outstanding PhD work on the determinants of water-use efficiency in Sorghum. Oula Ghannoum ARC CoETP

If you were puzzled by variations of PSII abundance and activity in C4 bundle sheath cells, in our new paper we propose a regulatory mechanism explaining the differences reported between growth conditions, NADP-ME species and C4 subtypes doi.org/10.1111/tpj.15… ARC CoETP

Our new sorghum pangenome, just published in Nature Plants, provides a platform for researchers to investigate the entire gene repertoire within the primary gene-pool of cultivated sorghum. rdcu.be/ckZGW yongfu Tao David Jordan UQ News The Crop Trust ARC CoETP

The new sorghum pan-genome is based on 13 new de novo assembled genomes, including 4 wild relatives, integrated with 3 published genomes and reports >44K gene families, with 64% showing presence/absence variation. rdcu.be/ckZGW yongfu Tao David Jordan The Crop Trust ARC CoETP

In their recent study, ANU team (ANU Division of Plant Sciences) led by RIPE researcher Ben Long (Ben Long) used a mathematical model to gain insight on specialized compartments in Rubisco that can possibly help increase crop yield. 🌿: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… 🌱: bit.ly/2Q6riZK
