Delighted our clonal pollen grain made it onto the cover of the June edition of Nature Genetics nature.com/ng/volumes/56/… Thank you Rainer Franzen, Yazhong Wang and Rob Kesseler for working on this image! We are excited about the future of de novo polyploids! nature.com/articles/s4158…

🌱 Our collaborative review on the role of epigenetic control during root development and symbiotic interactions is now published in Plant Physiology! Thanks meuzanetti for inviting us to contribute to this piece, with Federico Ariel, Andreas Niebel et al. academic.oup.com/plphys/advance…

Gwen Swinnen (from Sebastian Soyk lab) presents about #tomato cryptic modifiers of flower production at #flowerworkshop2024. Non-coding allele near ANANTHA is strongly associated with suppression of inflorescence. QTL region in mapping experiments may contain more than one gene.

We are hiring! Postdoctoral position in root nodule symbiosis @UNIL, Switzerland🇨🇭. Please RT. #PlantSciJobs. For more info visit: performancemanager5.successfactors.eu/xi/ui/rcmjobre…. Please apply via the portal.

Two papers in nature present a new genome editing technique that enables the insertion, inversion and deletion of long DNA sequences at user-specified genome positions. The approach may provide an easier method of genome editing. go.nature.com/3RGkI8M go.nature.com/3RHBvIs

This is a game changer for how we do genetics in our lab! Fantastic effort by Monica, MV Mazzuoli Axel Janssen Anne-Stephanie & xue liu 1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New article from the lab, in collaboration Olivier Loudet et al. We show that increasing recombination ~6-fold empowers the detection and resolution of QTLs, reaching the gene scale with only a few hundred plants. nature.com/articles/s4200…

🧵🌳 Our new manuscript is out! We explored how somatic mutations in trees spread and propagate through different layers of the plant, improving our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of plant growth and diversity. #PlantScience #Genomics doi.org/10.1186/s13059…

HHMI Investigator Zach Lippman & collaborators discovered the gene that drives prickle growth in dozens of flowering plants. Their findings shed new light on convergent evolution, whereby unrelated species develop the same adaptive traits over time: hhmi.news/3WVF4g0
