PS Seminar Series - Technology for Continuous Directed Evolution of RuBisCO »

12pm 23 August 2023

The enzyme Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase (RuBisCO) is responsible for the entry of atmospheric carbon into the biosphere during photosynthesis. Despite this key role, RuBisCO maintains several biochemical shortcomings, making it an attractive target for laboratory protein engineering.

PS Seminar Series - Specific plant organelle pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins can act as C-to-U RNA editing factors in diverse genetic systems...

3.30pm 18 August 2023

Site-specific C-to-U RNA editing is a hallmark of plant organelle transcript maturation. Up to thousands of specific cytidines are converted into uridines in plant chloroplasts and mitochondria, with no evidence of editing activity in the cytosol.

PS Seminar Series - Growth in fluctuating light buffers plants against photorespiratory perturbations »

4pm 16 August 2023

Photorespiration (PR) is the pathway that detoxifies the product of the oxygenation reaction of Rubisco. It has been hypothesized that in dynamic light environments, PR provides a photoprotective function by serving as a sink for excess ATP and/or reducing equivalents.

E&E Seminar: The life and times of Port Jackson sharks »

1pm 10 August 2023

The Fish Lab at Macquarie University has been studying Port Jackson sharks for over a decade. Our initial studies just tried to figure out where they go and what they do: basic behavioural ecology.
