Integration of light quality signals regulates ABA abundance and stomatal movements during seedling establishment Obtaining sufficient light for photosynthesis and avoiding desiccation are two key challenges faced by seedlings during early establishment. Perception of light quality via specialised photoreceptor...

Really happy to see our paper about seedlings, stomata, and light signals is now online!

There's still just about time to apply for this postdoc position - a super cool project and I can highly recommend working with Caspar!

Deadline 02/11/25

Professor Susanne von Caemmerer and Professor Graham Farquhar are receiving an award.

Plant scientists Professor Graham Farquhar and Professor Susanne von Caemmerer transformed the world's understanding of photosynthesis, and now they have been jointly awarded the Royal Medal (Biological) from The Royal Society, at a ceremony in London.

A grey coloured Arabidopsis leaf epidermis, with black cell walls. Each cells has a colourful blobs - a nuclear localised fluorescent ABA sensor, with warm colours indicating high concentrations, and cooler colours indicating lower concentrations.

The Rowe lab is recruiting a #PlantScience PhD student for 2025! You'll use our new ABACUS FRET biosensors to map the leaf #AbscisicAcid accumulations at low humidity in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice to understand how ABA regulates stomatal dynamics. #PhDposition
