Meeting advertisement for C4-60, a meeting celebrating 60 years since the discovery of C4 photosynthesis.
Registration is open for *C460- From Kranz to Crops: Celebrating 60 Years of C4 Discovery and Innovation*
Celebrating 60 years since the discovery of C4 photosynthesis!
23-25 July 2026 at Lancaster University, UK
Generously funded by @annbot.bsky.social, @newphyt.bsky.social, and others!
I can do a pretty good impression of the LI-6400 leaf fan
Ecophys!
writing is always humbling
diurnals at 2% and ambient O2
Mitotracker labels mitochondria nicely in leaves but seems to bind to the xylem too...
Desert teaching greenhouse with cacti and other succulents inside with snow piled up outside
Here is a working Starter Pack for Plant Ecophysiologists! Please let us know if you want to be added to this list in a comment or DM. #botany #plantecophys #PhysFam

Checkout this super wide but short bundle sheath cell in Flaveria linearis
This is one plant in a 5 gallon pot 🌳
Flaveria robusta in University of Toronto growth facility
My Flaveria forest is ready for the final project of my PhD! Elevated plants + new-ish retrofitted LEDs supplements 600-700 umol/m2/s of PAR at the top of the canopy
🤩
I guess I meant an instrument that is simpler than the 6800 but has updated features 😅
Like a LI-6800 SE (thinking of the iPhone SE)
They should make a modernized LI-6400
what is a systematic biologist, phylogenetic biologist, clade biologist...

Too much staring at TEMs all day... I wish I could be looking for plants in the Kimberley
