Excited to share my latest work in @newphyt.bsky.social. Here, we used TurboID proximity labeling with CLAVATA receptors FEA3 and BAM1D in maize meristems to better understand the signaling pathways important for meristem regulation. #PlantScience

Today I learned that the common houseplant Zamioculcas (the zz plant) is monocot w/ pinnately compound leaves. So called leaves are in fact leaflets. Unlike most species w/ compound leaves, the leaflets of zz plants are highly regenerative, from which whole plants can be readily regenerated.

📢 Three new #bioRxiv preprints from our team on holocentric chromosomes.

Together, they connect centromere repeat evolution, karyotype dynamics, and meiotic recombination outcomes, revealing how holocentric genomes evolve and function. 🧬👇

It's finally out!...
Using single-cell and spatial transcriptome data, and data imputation, we created BARVISTA, a website able to perform almost genome-wide information on gene expression profiles at single-cell resolution in barley spikes!

Meristems shape plant architectures, and grasses generate a complex array of them. To characterise barley vegetative SAMs and spike development, we used single cell and spatial transcriptome data and integrated them in a new database, BARVISTA. A click on a cell now.....
