Do you need a tool that helps you annotate protein sequences and makes nice figures? CASA is here for you. It can help find key features in new proteins and make publishable sequence alignments with custom features.

From the #AppsPlantSci Plant Metabolic Diversity special issue:

A practical & easy-to-scale protocol for removing chlorophylls from leaf extracts (by Fossati, Cavalloro, Rossi, Collina & Martino)

bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #botany #PlantMetabolism #chlorophyll #Phytochemistry
The image shows a leaf with representations of phytochemical structures drawn on the surface. In front of the leaf, a glass measuring cylinder is used to pour liquid into another measuring cylinder. On the right side are three circles: one with the text "Sustainable," showing an open hand catching leaves; one with the text "Scalable," showing an arrow pointing up; and one with the text "Multi-sample purification," showing a holder with sample tubes. The text at the bottom right corner reads: "A practical and easy-to-scale protocol for removing chlorophylls from leaf extracts."

📣Fellow Phytochemists - we’re very happy to present this brandnew plant metabolic diversity special issue in APPS. Thanks to all authors for their contributions and congratulations to @plantsrchemists.bsky.social on the beautiful cover! 🤩🌳

The #AppsPlantSci special issue "Advances in analyzing and engineering plant metabolic diversity" is online!

Thanks to editors @kiratiedge.bsky.social, Gaurav Moghe, @iochromaland.bsky.social & Federico Roda

Check out the intro: bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #PlantMetabolism
The cover of the July-August issue of Applications in Plant Sciences. The cover image shows an artist’s depiction of the application of large language models (LLMs) in plant metabolic research. Here, the stylized tree—with leaves bearing diverse phytochemical structures, superimposed on representations of scientific article abstracts—represents the organization of the vast array of known plant chemical–plant species connections within the context of the plant tree of life.

Thank you to Annals of Botany for sponsoring #Botany2025!
A promotional flyer titled “Why publish with Annals of Botany” with green background. Four images are shown: a carnivorous Nepenthes pitcher plant, a cross-section of root from Populus trichocarpa under a microscope, a syrphid fly on a Barberetta aurea yellow flower, and a Neoraimondia arequipensis cactus in a desert landscape. The flyer highlights that Annals of Botany is the oldest academic journal in plant sciences, welcomes research on all plant types and ecosystems, and offers author-friendly publishing options including no word limits, free formatting, and free color images.

Today, the ERC formally adopted a decision to increase its support for researchers moving to Europe.

On top of its normal grants, the ERC offers 'start-up' funding to help PIs establish laboratories / research teams in Europe.

This extra funding is now x2 (up to €2 million!)

As a female academic in her 40s, I think it is extremely important to pay attention to ways in which you get worn down by the constant mini-struggles. As you age, it accumulates and you get to a point where you just can't anymore. This is not just about the extra mentoring or household labor.
