New insights from plant structural biology

This webinar is the 4th in a series together with The Plant Journal.

Join us for a webinar hosted in collaboration between The Global Plant Council and The Plant Journal, exploring how structural biology is reshaping our understanding of the molecular machinery in photosynthetic life. From enzyme evolution to carbon-concentrating mechanisms and hormone transport, our speakers will reveal how high-resolution insights into protein structure and function are opening new frontiers in plant science.

Date: 30th June 2026
Time: 15:00 CEST

Hosted by: Katherine Denby (Editor-in-Chief of The Plant Journal)

Speakers and topics:

Dr. Clarisa Ester Alvarez (CEFOBI-CONICET) — “Deciphering C4 NADP-malic enzyme neofunctionalization through structural biology”
Dr. Cecilia Blikstad (Uppsala University) — “Encapsulation and regulation of carboxysomal carbonic anhydrases”
Dr. Bjørn Panyella Pedersen (Aarhus University) — “Structural Insights in Mechanisms of Plant Hormone Transport”

This session will feature insights into how the structures of key plant proteins govern their function. Together, the talks will highlight how structural approaches are deepening our understanding of plant metabolism, photosynthesis, and growth.
