Nice article about work I collaborated on in MSU's Plant Research Laboratory newsletter: prl.natsci.msu.edu/news-and-eve...

🚨Preprint alert🚨We present models of real and hypothetical maize symbioses (with AMF and rhizobia, respectively) individually and in tandem to assess the costs-and-benefits of these to maize growth. Check it out here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

www.nature.com/articles/s41... They "identified many highly conserved positions that tolerate mutation and rare mutations that improve CO2 affinity. These data indicate that non-trivial biochemical changes are readily accessible" #PlantScience

Very nice 'news & views' write-up about the C. merolae modeling work @anne-steensma.bsky.social, me, and our wonderful co-authors presented in Plant Phys: doi.org/10.1093/plph...

New paper alert 😎🔔🚨. We present a standardized protocol for the polyextremophile Cyanidioschizon merolae 🦠 transformation🧬! Together with our team at ASU AzCATI🇺🇸, and Uni Northern BC 🇨🇦 #openaccess #algae #Biotechnology www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

How do you effectively photosynthesize in hell (figuratively speaking)? See our new article, just published in Plant Physiology: doi.org/10.1093/plph...
