Deleting a gluten component can only lead to dough worsening, right? WRONG!
New work from a graduate student, Maria Rottersman, and others in the lab demonstrates that deleting the alpha-gliadins on chromosome 6D of wheat improves gluten strength and produces less celiac disease epitopes. Check it out now in Theoretical and Applied Genetics: rdcu.be/egXZ2

Check out the new spike development atlas from our lab. Great resource for the wheat community and lots of beautiful images.
We’re excited to share our new preprint on wheat spike development! We used spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq to take a closer look at the different cell types and expression domains during key developmental stages of the wheat spike. Check it out here:

Nice couple of papers from the lab on LFY and WAPO1 controlling spikelet development in wheat.
Glad to share our new print about the interaction of LFY and WAPO1 natural alleles in wheat: rdcu.be/dX2qD
We found that natural alleles in wheat LFY-B genes (promoter indel, P34L, R80S) affect spikelet number per spike (SNS) and significantly interact with WAPO1 C47F.

The Salk Institute shared the sad news that Prof. Joanne Chory passed away yesterday due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. She was one of the most influential biologists of our time.

And this is how I will remember Joanne, expertly guiding us on where to go. Joanne, we will miss you! ❤️

In this *sweet* new #OpenAccess study, Cho et al. demonstrate that sucrose promotes flowering in rice by mediating the stability of a regulatory protein that represses flowering.
