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.🌱

Panel A shows a schematic diagram of the method i.e. petiole cutting on wet paper and insertion of leaves into a parafilm-sealed dish containing water. Panels B-E are graphs that show C02 assimilation and transpiration rates under different conditions tested

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.

💡 Always a good time to be reminded: "if you fuse your protein of interest to GFP or EGFP to study the protein's behavior ... you are using a tag with a serious drawback."
Same goes for anything that doesn't have 'm' in its name (looking at you, dTomato and StayGold)
