The KEY🔑 to regulating Rubisco phase separation in the Chlamydomonas algal pyrenoid. Beautiful work by Shan He, @mjonikas.bsky.social, and friends. #PhaseSeparation #CO2 #PlantScience 🧪 🧶🧬 🌾 🌍

Algal pyrenoids—condensates that mediate ~1/3 of Earth’s CO2 fixation—change size and number as cells divide. Our data suggest a simple control mechanism: a kinase that continuously ejects material from the condensate! ☀️🌍🔬💧 #Biophysics #Photosynthesis

🚨 5.7 million Qantas customers just had their data exposed in a sophisticated cyberattack – a stark reminder that hackers will continue exploiting the very digital infrastructure we increasingly rely on.
Pleased to see our perspective on the C3 model of photosynthesis published. It was fun revisiting the science behind it.

“The work of Professor Robson and his colleagues was 46 years in the making. Yet their fundamental research has enormous applications, from harvesting water from the air to drug delivery and even carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere”, said Prof Chennupati Jagadish AC, President of the Academy.

Born #OnThisDay was Louise Johnson FRS, British biochemist and protein crystallographer. She was part of the team that was the first to solve the structure of an enzyme by x-ray crystallography, and she and her lab solved the structures of many other proteins through her career. #WomenInSTEM

Love it! 🧪🤓 Ya know, thylakoids can also play this paracrystalline lattice game. In plants, they emerge from the prolamellar body during de-etiolation 🟡➡️🟢

🫛 SPECIAL ISSUE REVIEW 🫛

Meilhoc et al. ✍️

This review aims to provide answers to the oxygen paradox in nitrogen-fixing symbiosis and to highlight the dual roles of hemoglobins and ROS in nodule development, functioning, and senescence.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1.Schematic representation of oxygen trapping and energy metabolism within N2-fixing nodules. In infected cells, O2 is trapped by the Lbs (1), which release it near the mitochondria distributed around the cell periphery. O2-dependent mitochondrial respiration ensures the production of ATP (2). When the O2 concentration is too low, Pgb-NO respiration (3), involving nitrate reductase (NR) and phytoglobins (Pgb1, Lbs), gradually takes over and helps to regenerate ATP. In microoxic bacteroids, ATP is produced by the respiratory chain (4), which includes cbb3 oxidases with a high affinity for O2, and the denitrification pathway (5), which reduces nitrate (NO3–) to nitrogen (N2). Any traces of O2 that might inhibit nitrogenase are eliminated by Hmp-type hemoproteins (6) which, in the presence of NO, detoxify it to NO3–. Dashed lines represent the outer membranes of mitochondria and bacteroids. See full paper for abbreviations.

🌱 First up, our invited speaker Christine Raines (University of Essex, UK) talking about “Improving photosynthesis for sustainable crop productivity” 🌿

Christine was JXB’s first female EIC (2012–2020) and also gave a wonderful tribute to Prof. Stephen Long during her talk.
