Letter to the editor: a robust technique for gas exchange measurements using petiole-cut Arabidopsis leaves in a whole plant chamber
Satoru Naganawa Kinoshita, Iris Finkemeier; Letter to the editor: a robust technique for gas exchange measurements using petiole-cut Arabidopsis leaves in

Thrilled to share our latest short technical paper in PCP!
We propose an alternative leaf-level gas exchange measurement method with petiole-cut leaves and whole plant chamber, enabling the measurements even with the small Arabidopsis plants.🌱

Structural basis for the dynamic regulation of mTORC1 by amino acids - Nature
Using cryo-electron microscopy, the interactions of Sestrin2 and CASTOR1 with GATOR2 were resolved, revealing how mTORC1 activation is regulated and how nutrient availability triggers signalling for cellular growth.
