Ever use multi-channel LEDs? We have a new approach for precision programming of the lights for your experiments...or to give your plants a disco party. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Accurately Programming Complex Light Regimes with Multi-channel LEDs
Background: Advances in LED lighting technologies have allowed researchers to explore increasingly complex light regimes. This has given us greater insight into plants' responses to dynamic light, inc...

Take a look at our new pre-print: ELF3 controls trait heterogeneity in Arabidopsis and barley. doi.org/10.1101/2025...
ELF3 controls trait heterogeneity by tuning the rate of maturation in Arabidopsis and barley
Trait heterogeneity in a population increases the likelihood that some individuals will survive an unpredictable environmental stress. Individual plants mature at different rates due to genetics, envi...

University of York's MSc in Bioinformatics gives students a portfolio of projects to improve CVs. Each year, students present at a real bioinformatics conference ( #NorthernBug). This is not your run-of-the-mill taught MSc! Applications still open! (www.york.ac.uk/study/postgr...)

New pre-print on @biorxiv-plants.bsky.social related to @plantbiology.bsky.social. The same genetic loci control synchronised responses to changes in day length and synchronised development... and the mechanism we propose is really weird!

The genetic basis for synchronized time perception in plant populations
Synchronized developmental timing is important for ensuring crop uniformity and high yields. However, climate change is leading to crops being grown at different latitudes, varying their exposures to ...

Why do circadian rhythms correlate with lifespan? In a model plant, the same genetic loci control both. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

I am looking for ideas to help support climate-resilient agriculture researchers in the US right now. For US students, all I can say is: applications for UK MScs are still open if you want to weather this storm abroad.
