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:

Hi everyone - just a reminder that when there’s a big earthquake in your region, it is really helpful to earthquake scientists if you fill our the “Did You Feel It” report on the USGS earthquake event page - even if it was just mild shaking or you didn’t feel it all - all the data is helpful! 🧪⚒️

Super happy to have contributed to this amazing work done by David. He developed a protocol that allows us to regenerate plants from protoplast of multiple grape cultivars. Exciting times for genome editing in grapes!
