Avocados come in 2 varieties - A-types start each day female and switch to male midday. B-types do the reverse. In work just published from the last chapter of my PhD, we show this system evolved 40+million yrs ago and is regulated by alleles of 1 transcription factor www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Balanced polymorphism in a floral transcription factor underlies the ancient rhythm of daily sex alternation in avocado | PNAS

In avocado and certain wild relatives in Lauraceae, a highly synchronized daily rhythm of floral sex timing promotes cross-pollination between two ...

So proud of @ca-haus.bsky.social who presented a poster at his first Botany!! #Botany2025 He’ll be applying for grad school in the Fall—drop him a message if you are recruiting new Masters students interested in flowering plant research! 🌸🌿

This July I had the privilege of representing Ohio University at #Botany2025 with the work I’ve done on flowering plants in the Schenk Lab. It was incredible seeing the diversity of research being done across the country and the passion that drives it. Those who made this possible are tagged below!

Just in time for #botany2025, ya girl got her PhD 🎉
