Such a fabulous seminar on the genomics of hybridization and recombination in wild yeast today by amazing scientists and my bestie @caitismuheil.bsky.social !!!!!!
Apparently most yeast live in trees!!!!
Who knew?!?!?!?
Not me.

My #mimuluspropaganda (left) and grass leaf from @michaelraissig.bsky.social (right) are proud representatives of plant images in the final 15 shortlist!
But seriously, check out all the entries. They all look very incredible! 🧪🔬🌱

New Ferris Lab preprint on fluctuating selection in a
#Mimulus hybrid zone from @dianatataru.bsky.social
!!!!!! We find both positive and negative selection on hybrids in years with dramatically different snowpack levels.

Super interesting story!! And just like previously the YUP story in Monkeyflower #Mimuluspropaganda color & speciation (which also made the cover of Science in that issue!), the master behind another long-standing evolutionary mystery is yet again microRNA!! 🧬🧪
Our miRNA story is now in @science.org ! We found a microRNA, not a protein, that finally solved a long-standing evolutionary mystery of wing coloration in butterflies and moths. (1/n)

A microRNA is the effector gene of a classic evolutionary hotspot locus
In Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), the genomic region around the gene cortex is a “hotspot” locus, repeatedly implicated in generating intraspecific melanic wing color polymorphisms across 100 mi...

Friday Flower 001: Mimulus lewisii 🌸✨
Monkeyflowers are masterpieces of design with nectar-guide spots formed by an activator–inhibitor system of MYB transcription factors. These generate reaction–diffusion patterns across the ventral petal.

For our #MimulusPropaganda today - here’s a ❤️ for your valentine!
(But the truth is that I’m just day dreaming about making this pigmentation pattern stable so that I can make $$$ in commercial horticulture market to fund my basic science flower research🥹)

Interested in living and working in Yosemite NP this summer? Do you like working outside with beautiful plants (#Monkeyflowers)?!?! Are you interested in ecology and evolution? Then apply to be a field technician in my lab this spring/summer 2024!!!! Please Repost!!!

Many thanks to the MSU PRI for funding this project and supporting Sylvie's and my work! #MimulusPropaganda
In a collaborative PRI Seed Grant project, two MSU #plantbiology graduate students have teamed up to investigate how plants’ natural defense mechanisms can be leveraged to help improve crop resilience. Read the full Q&A story: plantbiology.natsci.msu.edu/posts/012025...

Incredibly excited about this meeting and so happy to see my #Mimuluspropaganda made it to FASEB! 😋🌸
Delighted to unveil the poster and speakers list of the Mechanism of Plant Development meeting. 2 keynotes by @bradylabs.bsky.social & @nikogeldner.bsky.social to honour the legacy of P. Benfey & J. Chory. Congrats to @minyaaa.bsky.social for her beautiful Mimulus image.
