Excited to see our story on epigenetic mediated aclimation of plants to fluctuating light patterns out today in doi.org/10.1111/nph..... This work started 6 years ago co-supervised with the amazing @proftlawson.bsky.social and led by the brilliant @robynemm.bsky.social. 1/2

🌱 First up, our invited speaker Christine Raines (University of Essex, UK) talking about “Improving photosynthesis for sustainable crop productivity” 🌿
Christine was JXB’s first female EIC (2012–2020) and also gave a wonderful tribute to Prof. Stephen Long during her talk.

Thrilled to share our new paper - now out in @jxbotany.bsky.social
This work explores how contrasting leaf traits shape photosynthetic efficiency and resilience in wild and cultivated tomatoes.
Huge thanks to @proftlawson.bsky.social and other coauthors!

Throwback to a setup we fine-tuned for measuring gas exchange in tomato fruit. Optimising this protocol was key to comparing metabolic differences across genotypes during fruit development 🌱🍅 Big thanks to @proftlawson.bsky.social @andrewsimkin.bsky.social @mjtplantbiology.bsky.social
