Plants don’t use a single “thermometer” to sense heat – they decode it through a molecular network! A new review led by @MonashUni biologists could reshape how we engineer climate-resilient crops using AI & synthetic biology.

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat.
In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z
ALT Infrared imaging shows heat levels in sun-exposed leaves of Alstonia scholaris from the Australian Wet Tropics. As climate change increases temperatures and the severity of heat waves, both natural ecosystems and agricultural plants are increasingly affected by heat. Examining heat responses at cellular, genetic, physiological, and ecosystem scales, this special issue explores how plants sense and respond to high temperatures.

What do we know about DNA repeats? @GATCLab @sridevisureshku and colleagues emphasise the underexplored nature and immense potential of this area of research, particularly in plants nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Hello friends, I am making a movie for the start of #ICAR2025 in Ghent next year!
I need your help to make it a community project! Please retweet comment your favorite Arabidopsis live imaging video to be featured in the movie. Anything from macro to single-molecule, tell me!

Have you ever noticed how the academy's power dynamics can be insane? It's a topic that's been on my mind lately. Do you think there's a better model out there to help improve or even curb these dynamics? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Happy to have helped with quantifying nuclear localisation accurately. @HarrisonMYork from our lab used FLIM (@LeicaMicro) at @MIPS_Australia to discard autofluorescence, abundant in plant cells, and pick GFP signals.

We deciphered a novel genetic pathway underlying trinucleotide repeat-mediated gene silencing, published today in Nature Plants. Thanks to my team @MonashBiol and collaborators @SKBLab @sadanandomlab, Ram Yadhv, Hong Toa, Emmanuel, and @cellphylab.
