Assoc Professor Danielle Way - Way Group - Plant Ecophysiology and Global Change Biology
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations could reach >1000 ppm by 2100, increasing global temperatures 3-4 °C. Both elevated CO2 and warming affect photosynthesis, altering plant growth, survival, and crop yield and quality.

PS Seminar Series: Controlling protein homeostasis and reactive oxygen species – keys to plant stress tolerance »
Plants are able to survive normally lethal temperatures if first acclimated by a more moderate heat stress, a process that can occur on a daily basis. We have dissected mechanisms involved in high temperature acclimation using both genetics and biochemistry in Arabidopsis.
