A stack of lumpy blobs with four different colors representing different parts of the protein. The predicted molecular structure of the mutant form of BCT1 the researchers evolved for function in plants. Each color represents a subunit of the four-component pumping system. The mutant form has fused the blue-colored subunits and enabled the pump to work without the need to switch it 'on’. Figure generated by Loraine Rourke, ANU.

Image: This award-winning image by Brandon James, Project Manager in the Swaminathan lab at the HudsonAlpha Institute, shows a thin slice of part of a Sorghum bicolor shoot apex. The fluorescent probes show cells in the shoot (nuclei labeled in blue) and the expression of RNA transcripts of a gene called KNAT1 (yellow). This is part of work by CABBI and its partners to better understand different cell types within sorghum stems and enable cell-type-specific engineering for bioenergy and novel bioproducts.
