New paper out in @PlantCellEnvir! Look here if you're after some guidance on how to gas exchange: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc… What measurements are appropriate for your question and how to best take them? Initiated by @m_papanatsiou, with @BerkleyW6 @SilvereVialet @steven3ver et al.

Several RIPE researchers & alums were co-authors on a recently published “How-to guide” for gas exchange techniques. The review, in @PlantCellEnvir, looks to provide a foundation for beginner/novice scientists & be a reference for experienced researchers. doi.org/10.1111/pce.14…
