This weeks Arabidopsis Research Roundup has a tools-focus as it includes
three papers that highlight new tools that are available to the plant
science community.
Silke Robatzek (TSL) leads research that has developed software for
analysis of subcellular fluorescent markers whilst in a broadly similar
area Mark Fricker (University of Oxford) is part of an international
collaboration that characterises a tool that allows for analysis of
intracellular ATP concentrations.
Thirdly Phillip White (JHI) leads a consortium that has developed
computer-assisted software to aid automated phenotyping.
In the fourth paper Silke Robatzek again features as co-corresponding
author with Richard Morris (JIC) in a study that mixes plant biology and
computational analysis to model stomatal dynamics.
Finally Christine Raines (University of Essex) leads research that has
overexpressed a member of the photosynthetic apparatus that surprisingly
results in plants with larger biomass and seed yield.
