Great collaboration among C4 biologists, respiration folks and metabolism specialist exploring how respiration and metabolites change in 24h.

Showcasing my spectacular C4 Tribulus occidentalis. Far from its home in WA, this individual took over 2x2m space and still spreading strong!

Shortcutting photorespiration: avenues and challenges toward realizing higher‐yielding photorespiratory bypass crops

Photorespiration is a major source of photosynthetic inefficiency in C3 crops. In photorespiration, the oxygenation rather than carboxylation of RuBP by Rubisco triggers an energy-expensive pathway t....

My beautiful Portulaca grandiflora flowered today. This smart C4 + CAM species can switch between C4 and CAM in response to drought stress. Plus, it has pretty flowers!

Our global meta-analysis is finally out - we explore the most important influencer on C4 photosynthetic capacity using ~1700 C4 Aci curves! Data are freely available for the community.

Excellent Gordon Research Conference in Maine to catch up with colleagues and friends for life. Excellent conference always ends with excellent highlight. Lobster and beer are the way to go. Beer again in 2 years! #grc

Attending the 2025 Gordon Research Conference on CO2 assimilation at its fullest! Practicing my mind concentrating mechanisms to hitting the bull’s eye. #grc
