Does nature ever stop surprising us? A super interesting mechanism of pollen meiotic drive!

‼️Dear PMM participants‼️ The detailed conference program is now available online📣 pmm.amu.edu.pl We have an amazing lineup of super interesting talks ahead🤩 #PLANTmeiosis

Today we are excited to share our protocols.io on how to dissect (and collect) spike meristems. We hope it can be useful! dx.doi.org/10.17504/proto… As we release the protocols we countdown for #IWC2024Perth 🌾 5 weeks left!

Preprint alert! In this study from our team @wur, led by Jorge Hernández-García, we dissect the origin and early diversification of the ARF transcription factors that mediate #auxin -dependent gene expression across land plants tinyurl.com/mu4m72ff. A 🧵... (1/11).
