Recorded Seminar - Tony Passioura

PS Seminar Series: Translational Research in Agriculture. How Does It Work?

Event | Wed 21 September 2022
‘Translational research’ became an increasingly common term when it was realised that much agriculturally inspired basic research failed to contribute to the improvement of crops.

PS Webinar Series: Mathematical Modelling of Moisture Transport in Plant Cuticles

Event | Fri 26 March 2021
Food production needs to increase significantly and water loss from plants may hold one key, especially relevant in a time of climate change.

PS Webinar Series: PhD Exit Seminar - Dynamics of water and carbon dioxide gas-exchange through the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves

Event | Fri 18 December 2020
Accurate estimation of gas exchange parameters has always been a fundamental aim of plant physiologists; from the more general assumptions and calculations presented by Moss and Rawlins (1963) up to the widely used model introduced by von Caemmerer and Farquhar (1981).

PS Webinar Series: Building a Bacterial CO2 Concentrating Mechanism

Event | Wed 12 August 2020
Many photosynthetic organisms employ a CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM) to increase the rate of CO2 fixation via the Calvin cycle. CCMs catalyze ≈50% of global photosynthesis, yet it remains unclear which genes and proteins are necessary for a CCM to function.
Recorded seminar (Florian Busch)

PS Webinar Series: Photorespiration - Friend or foe?

Event | Wed 10 June 2020
Photorespiratory metabolism is essential for plants to maintain functional photosynthesis in an oxygen-containing environment. Because the oxygenation reaction of Rubisco is followed by the loss of previously fixed carbon, photorespiration is often considered a wasteful process and considerable efforts are aimed at min

PS Seminar Series -Isotopic Labeling-Based Metabolic Flux Analysis: From CO2 Assimilation to Storage Reserve Production in Plants

Event | Mon 18 November 2019
At the heart of plant productivity is the balance of carbon assimilation through photosynthetic activity. Though central metabolism is context specific and changes with conditions, we will present recent insights with isotopic tracers, metabolite measurements and metabolic flux analyses that describe the dynamics of central carbon metabolism resulting in altered balance between resource assimilation and allocation.
