Review: How to evaluate the climate-mitigation potential of plant agricultural interventions | Plantae

Agriculture contributes substantially to climate change. Many agricultural interventions have been suggested as opportunities to lower this impact, through CO2 sequestration or through reducing…

Our new paper is out: we present a quantitative framework to assess how (bio)tech interventions in plant agriculture could meaningfully contribute to climate mitigation. This may be the most important paper I ever publish #SyntheticBiology #ClimateAction #Agriculture #Biochar doi.org/10.1093/plph...

Harnessing plant agriculture to mitigate climate change: A framework to evaluate synthetic biology (and other) interventions

The scale of plant agriculture can be used to mitigate climate change, and meaningful targets (synthetic biology and comparators) can be selected to increa

Today my 9-year old son stopped by as I was executing editorial duties. I asked him if he could do the job for me; he asked what the job was. I told him I had to ask people to do jobs for free. He said No Thanks.

Read more about it in the latest #Yeast research article by Zeyu Lu, @claudiavickers.bsky.social , Bingyin Peng & team. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Exploiting the Geranylgeranyl‐Pyrophosphate‐Sensing N‐Terminal Domain of HMG‐CoA Reductase 2 to Regulate Farnesyl Pyrophosphate Synthase (Erg20p) for Improved Monoterpene Production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Dynamic downregulation of the endogenous farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) synthase (Erg20p) is crucial to engineer heterologous monoterpene production in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. FPP downstrea...

The pGFPGUSPlus binary vector is my most requested plasmid in @addgene.bsky.social, but the paper describing it isn't super well cited because folks just use the catalog number as a reference. Please cite the original papers for plasmids! link.springer.com/article/10.1... www.addgene.org/64401/

The resin spurge plant, Euphorbia resinifera, is a succulent found in the Atlas Mountains of North Africa, like Morrocco. If you cut it open, it exudes a milky latex that contains resiniferatoxin. But watch out! [Pic by James Steakley (CC BY-SA 3.0)]
