Joram’s paper: Lobo, A. K. M., Orr, D. J., Gutierrez, M. O., Andralojc, P. J., Sparks, C., Parry, M. A. J., & Carmo-Silva, E. (2019). Overexpression of ca1pase Decreases Rubisco Abundance and Grain Yield in Wheat. Plant Physiology181(2), 471–479.

Joram presents the life and work of Arlette Nougarède, a French biologist exploring the inner workings of the shoot apical meristem.
