Today we celebrate the women who feed the world. 🌾
Rural women are leaders in building sustainable, resilient food systems — often with fewer resources but endless determination

New pre-print from the team!
The manuscript is @emma-raven.bsky.social's PhD work showing that whether a leaf is a carbon sink or a carbon source influences how they execute immune responses.
Have a read!

Excited to share the paper from my work in the Dean lab @johninnescentre.bsky.social out now in @cp-molcell.bsky.social. Huge thanks to all the co-authors - it was a great collaborative effort! Watch out for the associated cover artwork coming out next week 🎉 www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
VEL-dependent polymerization maintains the chromatin association of Polycomb proteins for the switch to epigenetic silencing
Schulten et al. show that VEL polymerization domains produce higher-order protein
assemblies to maintain chromatin association of Polycomb proteins, enabling a stable
epigenetic switch at the floral r...

Through an exciting industry–academic collaboration, our new Perspective sets the stage for the next phase of hybrid wheat research. 🌾 We focus on floral biology traits that can increase cross-fertilisation in self-pollinating wheat — paving the way for more effective hybrid seed production.
