Excited to be speaking at the first African Plant Genomics Symposium @africanplantgen.bsky.social
📢 Did you know that plant populations change in size, distribution and composition over time? Dr. Rachita Srivastava will speak on the interplay of population dynamics, genetic divergence and ecological factors for Cardamine and Arabidopsis species from Europe and Africa.

Groundbreaking insights into the genetic toolkit underlying plant adaptation to land.

Researchers at @slcuplants.bsky.social have contributed to this breakthrough in understanding how plants adapted to terrestrial environments in an international study of liverworts.

Happy to share our new paper OA in Genetics. We show that population genomic methods based on ARGs (ancestral recombination graphs i.e. genetic ancestry along chromosomes) for demography inference can be biased when applied to genomes with wide high-recombining regions. doi.org/10.1093/gene...
High-recombining genomic regions affect demography inference based on ancestral recombination graphs
Abstract. Multiple methods of demography inference are based on the ancestral recombination graph. This powerful approach uses observed mutations to model

🚨Hot off the press!

With Ibrahim Cheddadi, we tackled a key challenge: building a field theory of plant morphogenesis, based on fundamental balance laws and capturing cell wall remodelling and water dynamics in tissues🌿💧Check out our paper at www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
