Grateful to be listed as the 4th most collaborative author in the Brassi_TEN network. It is a real privilege to work with such an inspiring group of colleagues!

Hybrid zones in Cardamine (Brassicaceae) reveal the formation of diverse triploid hybrids with evolutionary potential. Cardamine rivularis plays a key role as both a driver and a species at risk.

#Lobularia maritima (Brassicaceae) is often planted in strips next to vegetable fields in Brittany. It attracts pollinators and beneficial insects, helping to reduce pests and support healthy crops. 🐝🥬

So exciting to see Camelina sativa growing in Czech fields! Drought-tolerant, climate-smart, and a promising source of sustainable jet fuel.

Our analyses show that #Boechera calcarea doesn’t belong in Boechereae at all.
A rare case of deep taxonomic correction!

Not #Boechera!
We used genomics, cytogenetics & phylogenetics to reveal that the mysterious Boechera calcarea is actually Parryodes calcarea - a rare Asian member of the Arabideae tribe (Brassicaceae):

We decoded the genome of #Boechera falcata, the only Eurasian species in a mostly North American plant group. It helps us understand how it evolved and how it reproduces.

@ibotcz.bsky.social smells like peonies. One of the most beautiful places to do research. Maybe only Kew Gardens comes close?

Paper "Triploid bridges enable gene flow in mixed-ploidy populations of Cardamine amara" published in Molecular Ecology! doi.org/10.1111/mec....
The study reveals how rare triploids help overcome ploidy barriers and mediate gene flow between diploid and tetraploid populations.
