Light-sheet microscopy is ideal to visualize plant seed germination. An amazing view on endosperm rupture by emerging radicle. 😀 See more: nature.com/articles/nprot… nature.com/articles/s4147…

An acidic volcanic hot springs doesn't sound like fun. But it's home sweet home for one extremophilic alga. MSU-DOE Plant Research Laboratory researchers MSU studied a process that helps it survive & what it reveals about how photosynthetic organisms adapt: prl.natsci.msu.edu/news-events/ne…

Great work by Villegas-Valencia, González-Portela et al. (2023) on the cultivation of the polyextremophilic red alga #Cyanidioschyzon merolae during summer conditions on the coast of the #RedSea 🌊🥵🇸🇦 (e.g. from 400-mL #Algems to 1000-L tubular #photobioreactors). #SSBlab #Algae

We are excited to let you know that the Mid-SURE 2023 photos are now up on Sprinklr! Use the link on the post to see all the amazing smiles of our student researchers :) #midsure2023 #undergraduateresearch #midsure #msu

CsLinker: an algal pyrenoid assembly protein that binds the RbcL, complements across 800 My of evolution and phase separates plant Rubisco. Very excited to share this work by James Barrett, Jamie Blaza, Michael Plevin, Mark Leake, McCormick Lab. Martin Jonikas doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

The northern lights may be viewable for the next few nights across parts of the US including West Michigan. Tonight, the best viewing chances here will be between nightfall and 11pm as partly cloudy skies this evening become mostly cloudy with showers early Saturday morning.

Please join Walker lab graduate student @Annesteensma tomorrow for a seminar titled "Lessons about photosynthesis from hot-spring algae: the Cyanidioschyzon merolae carbon-concentrating mechanism." Virtual link: buff.ly/4hCGLJ1

Graduate student AnneSteensma was the winner of last week's plasmidsaurus art contest! Congrats to Anne!
