I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

There are lots of answers out there that are beautiful because the truth of the system is beautiful. If I find one of these beautiful facts, it doesn’t make me brilliant. Just right place and right time. True scientific heroes acknowledge that fact.

Out after peer review, collaborative study from Nordborg & Weigel labs with help from many others. Not the largest collection of new Arabidopsis thaliana genomes, but we hopefully put forward some good ideas for how to think about pangenomes and their analysis!

Like I mentioned last week I like it when plants find a way against all odds. It is not just the perseverance and adaption. But also, that we can learn something from how those pioneering plants manage to survive against all odds. 🧵1/3

Getting a little salt tolerance
Plants in a saline environment have no other choice than to adapt. Spanish and French researchers show one of those adaptions in the newly published research “Parallel evolution of salinity toleran…

Our story about salinity tolerance in the Cape Verde islands is out in Science Advances! @science.org. Two independent mutations in the same gene conferred salt resistance to Arabidopsis plants!

These were my very first experiments done at @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social. I still remember the excitement of @jimenezgomez.bsky.social and me when observing the plates and the shocking phenotype!
Thanks to all the authors for the work and so happy to continue working on this!

🧪Very timely, the paper from the story that @jimenezgomez.bsky.social explained us during #SEG2025 was published yesterday. Congrats to all the team and specially first co-author @laskotillean.bsky.social! Beautiful story! 🫶🏻
The session started with the invited talk of #JMJimenez-Gomez from @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social. A beautiful story showcasing parallel evolution of arabidopsis populations from Cape Verde.

Twenty years ago this month Kevin Wright and I set out on an 18,000 mile journey from Durham, NC across North America to collect monkeyflowers. The seeds from that trip (my third rotation project) have given rise to major advances and scores of scientific publications over the past two decades.

Lots of #arabidopsis mixed with the #tulips in the #JardinBotanico in #Madrid. I asked the local expert Carlos Alonso-Blanco: they likely came from Holland with the bulbs or the soil 🤦🏻

Today’s weird potato flower is one that looks like fasiflora (fa) mutants in tomato, but as usual, nothing is known about this mutation in tuber bearing Solanum.

Pub with the fa mutant in tomato:
