Dear community we ( me and Santiago Signorelli) are editing a special article collection for Frontiers - Plant Science. The purpose is to bring attention to plant autophagy pathway and its components, which could be targeted for biotechnology of crop improvement. RT plz frontiersin.org/research-topic…




The Australian Space Agency's Chris Hewett toured the Plants in Space lab with Prof Harvey Millar, which researches mission-critical plant production on Mars missions, and how we can apply that knowledge for on-Earth food security in zones of drought and low land availability. UWA

Plant respiration has a secret. It can channel imported pyruvate to TCA cycle and export internal pyruvate for biosynthesis. So respiration has more control layers for biomass prod. than thought. SharedIt link:rdcu.be/cPjTY UWA Molecular Sci-UWA Plant Energy Biology xuyenhale


Thrilled to have our work published on Nature Plants . Never thought this could happen. A big thank you to my supevisors Harvey Millar and Alex Lee

In Ep187.5 ‘Wah Wonders Why - Plants in Space’ Greg and Dan talk to Prof Harvey Millar Harvey Millar from the University of WA Arm of Plant Energy Biology and #InternationalSpaceCentre about, well, Plants in Space. smartenough.org/episode/187.5


Research Harvey Millar @plantenergybiol Molecular Sci-UWA reveals plants make ‘secret’ decisions about how much carbon to release back into atmosphere via a previously unknown process, a discovery with “profound implications” for the use of plants as carbon stores > bit.ly/3OnUJim
