Functional genetics of rice PISTILLATA genes reveals new roles and target genes in flowering time, female fertility, and parthenocarpy
Rice lodicules are small fleshy floral petal homologs that enable floret opening and closing, for anthesis and seed maturation. We provide insights on OsMADS2 and OsMADS4, expanding their second and ...

Our article in @theplantournal.bsky.social

We uncovered new roles and gene targets of the rice PISTILLATA orthologs through genetics, genomics and transcriptomics approaches.

Thankful to my PhD guide Prof. Usha Vijayraghavan & the coauthors.

I have very mixed feelings for letters of recommendation. Oftentimes it's more about who wrote the letters than what is in the letters. I have witnessed it when I served as a student representative for grad school admission committee for my grad program.

Agreed
Now that I have reviewed for both Plant Cell and Plant Physiology, one thing I don’t like is that they ask the reviewer to estimate the impact or number of citations per year for the manuscript. Society journals shouldn’t be doing this.
