Latest in #GENETICS from @celianeto.bsky.social, @ahancock.bsky.social, and colleagues: A new panel of genetically diverse recombinant #Arabidopsis lines from the Cape Verde Islands uncovers genetic variants of adaptation that were difficult to map in this island population. 🌱 🏝️ 🔗 buff.ly/oOTp4hV

I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

Finally! Im so excited to present to culmination of many years of work from the fantastic Defeng Shen and some great collaborators. For details, I have made a digested thread below, but if you are more interested feel free to reach out (and read the paper of course). www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Apoplastic barriers are essential for nodule formation and nitrogen fixation in Lotus japonicus

Establishment of the apoplastic root barrier known as the Casparian strip occurs early in root development. In legumes, this area overlaps with nitrogen-fixing nodule formation, which raises the possi...

A lot of rich people don't want to admit that a big part of the United States' success in innovation is thanks to government funding & research, and maybe not purely because of their genius-level IQs & unique business acumen.
