Vulnerability to cavitation is linked to home climate precipitation across eight eucalypt species

This study links cavitation vulnerability in eucalypt leaves to home climate precipitation and leaf SLA across eight species.

Open source 3D phenotyping of chickpea plant architecture across plant development

This paper develops a low-cost 3D scanner and open source pipeline to phenotype chickpea plant architecture across development, achieving high accuracy in measuring traits like plant height and surface area.

Identification of QTLs for dynamic and steady state photosynthetic traits in a barley mapping population

The paper identifies QTLs for dynamic and steady state photosynthetic traits in barley, including a QTL for rubisco activation rate on chromosome 7H and overlapping QTLs for steady state traits.

PARbars: cheap, easy to build ceptometers for continuous measurement of light interception in plant canopies

The paper describes the development of low-cost PARbars for measuring light interception in plant canopies, providing instructions for building, calibrating, and deploying them to estimate leaf area index.

Rate of photosynthetic acclimation to fluctuating light varies widely among genotypes of wheat

The paper quantifies variation in photosynthetic induction kinetics across wheat genotypes and shows slow acclimation reduces daily carbon assimilation by up to 16%.
