Interested in how we can leverage all this fancy new omics data to improve plants for productivity under climate change? julia serres and I share our ideas in this new review: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Will Ratcliff Unfortunately if you dont engage with the content it wont show up in your feed. I had to claw back my algo and am now seeing preprint announcements and cool papers again. Liking and RT'ing helps. Commenting on posts of people you wanna see more of also helps.

By far the tallest corn I’ve ever seen. Maybe 16 feet.

I was skeptical about the whole optimization of plants thing for obvious reasons, but it does make sense if we say optimization of domesticated plants when grown under conditions in which they did not evolve.

Excited to share our work integrating transcriptome, (phospho)proteome, and metabolome data to map mulit-omicQTL and build predictive regulatory networks of NLB infected corn. Awesome work by Dr. Natalie Clark Judith Kolkman Christian Montes et al. Great collab. with Nelson & Christensen labs!

Postdoc position alert - in Alex Cantó-Pastor's NEW lab at Yale. While we will miss him greatly, a new postdoc will be sure to benefit from his mentorship and will get to participate in a very exciting project at the intersection of development and immunity. Alex Cantó-Pastor

The newest discovery in our robustness research thanks to Dr. Shuyao Kong Shuyao Kong, Mingyuan Zhu, Richard Smith Lab 🇺🇦, David Pan, and Brendan Lane. Tradeoff between speed and robustness in primordium initiation mediated by auxin-CUC1 interaction disq.us/t/4po30i3
