Excited to share the Sundar Lab's latest publication: Efficient parthenogenesis via egg cell expression of maize BABY BOOM1: A step toward synthetic apomixis academic.oup.com/plphys/article…
Registration is open for a new, virtual PCA workshop on "The Missing Link: Broadening Participation and Embracing Biodiversity in Scientific Research"! Moderated by @RoseAMarks1 and @phytowill. Date: June 22, 2023 Info/Register: bit.ly/PCA-BP-Workshop
Great write-up in @ScienceMagazine by @erikstokstad on the history and potential of #apomixis in #agriculture including our work on Synthetic Apomixis in rice. The future is bright for clonal seeds! science.org/content/articl…
Happy to share our most recent study with the @SundarLab. We analyzed the transcriptomes or rice plants grown in the presence or absence of soil-derived microbial communities. Hot off the press in @NewPhyt ! 📰: doi.org/10.1111/nph.18…
There is a great summary of our latest paper about the rice microbiome during drought and recovery in the @PNASNews journal club blog. Thanks for the write up, @carolynmbeans! blog.pnas.org/2021/08/drough…
Prolonged drought 'causes a permanent shift in the rhizosphere microbiome, and provides clues to which drought-induced microbiome changes might sustain plant health'. Check it out @NaturePlants and not the playlist...👇
