Happy to share my lab’s first venture into the world of wheat from an enjoyable collaboration with Chris Burt at RAGT Seeds and Keith Edwards. My team members Katie Jeal and Sophie Carpenter did a terrific job of the bioinformatics and starting the lab work. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
Phylogeny, chromosomal mapping and expression analyses of wheat CLAVATA pathway components suggest differential selection on receptor‐like kinases, CLEs and T3 WOXes
The Arabidopsis CLAVATA pathway regulates shoot apex and fruit size, and disrupting CLAVATA function has led to yield improvement in crops. Despite its central position in agriculture, the potential ...
