Contenta de participar en el segundo congreso latinoamericano de biología evolutiva, CLEVOL II, hablando acerca de competencia entre granos de polen y selección sexual en plantas con flores. Sigamos promoviendo la biología evolutiva en la región!!

Our lab's first review article written with @yadhusankar.bsky.social and @vijayalakshmi.bsky.social is out now in The Plant Journal! 🎉🌱

We discuss temporal regulation of (plant) development. When and how do plants control organ and cell identity progression?

A space for time. Exploring temporal regulation of plant development across spatial scales
Developmental timing in plants is tightly regulated at the whole-organism scale, from germination to flowering. Less is known about when and how local transitions are temporally regulated. Not every ...

Really excited to say that my lab's paper on color transitions in Mimulus sect. Erythranthe is out! We found that some traits demonstrate evolutionary convergence in phenotype & genotype, while others are divergent, & that - as Bob Vickery found - bees prefer yellow!

Within-species floral evolution reveals convergence in adaptive walks during incipient pollinator shift - Nature Communications
During evolution, how adaptive walks cross fitness valleys remains unclear. This integrative study on monkeyflowers reveals that convergence in large steps (floral color and gene expression) drives a ...

Despite experiencing high summer temperatures, the interior of the capitula of 15 species of Mediterranean thistles blooming during the hottest time of year was substantially cooler than the air most of the time.

This research synthesizes my perspective on how plant developmental biology, particularly heterochrony, can be applied to crop improvement.
