Transitioning to renewable fuel oils is essential for replacing fossil fuels, promoting environmental sustainability and improving human health.

Chloroplasts can sense environmental fluctuations via Ca2+ signaling. Environmental triggers, such as light changes, physical damage and heat waves, can induce distinct Ca2+ signatures in chloroplasts, which may help rebalance photosynthesis and stress responses under fluctuating conditions.

This talk will revisit and contextualise the invasion predicted by Cellarius within a framework of biosecurity risk assessment.

Most knowledge regarding the temperature responses of photosynthesis are based on experimental warming in controlled environments, usually on seedling.

Cyclic electron flow (CEF) around PSI is essential for balancing ATP/NADPH supply and protecting photosystems under fluctuating light.

This presentation will explore the application of precision gene editing technologies for trait enhancement in grain crops, with a focus on the integrated platform capabilities developed at Agriculture Victoria (AgVic).

MicroR159 (miR159) is an evolutionarily conserved microRNA family present in all terrestrial plants.

High-throughput sequencing has generated over 246 million protein sequences, yet only a fraction have been experimental validated.

Plants assimilate CO2 through photosynthesis, converting it into carbohydrates that sustain growth, development and maintenance. However, a substantial portion of this fixed carbon is returned to the atmosphere via respiration, with terrestrial plants releasing 60-80 Gt C y⁻¹—a flux five times greater than annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

Factors controlling plant photosynthesis and primary production include parameters dictating photosynthetic activity together with export and allocation properties.

Many plant-associating fungi have a high degree of host specificity. Fungal effector proteins, which modulate plant signaling pathways to promote colonization, are hypothesized to play a role.

Mitochondrial biogenesis in plants is a complex and tightly regulated process crucial for cellular energy production, metabolic regulation, and stress responses.
