Excited to share our new paper is out in TPJ! 🌱 "Out of the blue: family-wide loss of anthocyanin biosynthesis in Cucurbitaceae" We explore the anthocyanin biosynthesis gene loss through comparative genomics: doi.org/10.1111/tpj.... @nancy-choudhary.bsky.social @puckerlab.bsky.social #Evolution

Work in progress, Cym. Darch Ryan, will eventually do pen but one of many projects to add to the list to finish aha

Based on locality and leaf shape possibly Synaphea flabelliformis. These small shrubs are a diverse group, tho some cryptically so, with many looking at first glance very similar to each other! They also have the wonderful feature of Ballistic pollination and that’s just very cool in my opinion!

More wildflowers near Roxby Downs.

My first harvest of dried lima beans for 2026. I've been growing the yellow and magenta varieties together for several years, hoping the local pollinators would make a hybrid for me. The dark population of seeds all seem to have come from one very productive F1 plant.

Here's a bit more about the developed resistant #Cavendish variety: www.abc.net.au/news/science... It carries a resistance gene (MamRGA2) from a wild #Banana relative - an NLR that structurally could be part of a #resistosome: www.mdpi.com/2073-4425/17... #PlantScience #PlantImmunity #Fusarium

Could an Australian banana prevent a global crop collapse?

Australia's first genetically modified banana has been tweaked to protect it from a disease that's on the verge of wiping out crops around the world. Researchers hope it may be on our shelves by 2027.

#Fusarium oxysporum TR4 is spreading in Australia, threatening to destroy the local #Banana industry. Meanwhile, we already have a resistant variety - developed in Australia - but growers don't use it, because of people's irrational fear of GMOs. We first need a disaster, it seems. #PlantScience

I've been looking for a source for golden adzuki beans. I know they exist, but I've only ever seen them in research papers as "AG163".

I am excited to announce a job for an Asst Prof in Plant Evolution in the dept. of Evolution and Ecology at @ucdavis.bsky.social. We're looking broadly, from macro (speciation, comparative genomics, evo-devo) to micro (pop biology, adaptive evolution, evo-eco). recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07777

Interested in genetics, diversification, and speciation? We're hiring a Research Associate to help with our projects, including the convergent evolution of fruit color. Come and work with us! Feel free to contact me with questions. (Reposts appreciated!) Link: indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/33973

Another highlight was the art show that added another dimension to the conference. Would love to see this as a part of more large conferences.

Starting next week we will begin revealing the results of our Flower Bioengineering genetic toolkit, all sponsored and synthesised by @genewiz.bsky.social Here’s a teaser of our first results. Can you guess what gene it is?? 🖤

This is one of my early versions of a figure depicting the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway in plants. Newer versions don't have the thick arrows and have removed the uncertain brown pigments from the yellow branch of the pathway.

@breakliquid.bsky.social and I are delighted to say our OpenEVO preprint is finally live! An open source hand-made turbidostat that's modular, affordable, and made to be customized. Designed with love for the research community. Enjoy!!!💚 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A tungsten microparticle slurry can be directly applied to the mesh and dried before shooting - showing delivery onto a 20µm paper target (piece of Silver grade Rizla cigarette paper) - but would a thin support film improve the mesh performance?
