After beginning this project 9 years ago, the last manuscript from my PhD is finally published! In it, we identified several candidate genes underlying natural variation in maize root metaxylem phenotypes under well-watered and drought conditions. acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Integrating GWAS with a gene co‐expression network better prioritizes candidate genes associated with root metaxylem phenes in maize
Root metaxylem phenotypes are an under-explored target for crop improvement for drought resilience. A traditional genome-wide association study (GWAS) paired with a gene co-expression network found .....

I've taken a long break from social media, but decided to give Bluesky a go. If you're interested in #roots, #physiology, #genomics, #transcriptomics, really anything #plantbiology related, or oddly specific sports takes, give me a follow!

Best northern lights display I've ever seen! Here's from central IA:
