Paper in Journal of Experimental Botany

Congratulations to Dr. Pranali Deore for her latest publication, “Unique photosynthetic strategies employed by closely related Breviolum minutum strains under rapid short-term cumulative heat stress“.

While variation in thermal tolerance between species is well documented, variation between conspecific strains is understudied. This paper, published in Journal of Experimental Botany, found that Breviolum minutum strains employ distinct photoprotective strategies, resulting in different upper thermal tolerances.
