We are happy to share with you our paper Current Biology on auxin's function in energy production and starch accumulation in barley pollen. A new model to study auxin signaling and implement male fertility control in cereals. Thanks to everybody involved! authors.elsevier.com/a/1enDg3QW8R%7…

Some tags/keywords associated to the Current Biology paper: #barley #pollen; #auxin; #metabolism; #starch; #stamen maturation; plant male fertility authors.elsevier.com/a/1enDg3QW8R%7…

Congratulations also to Ljung group Umeå Plant Science Centre (UPSC) and SLU!

#Breeders, #biologists, everybody! are welcome to check the presentation page of our research group on #barley #stamen maturation MPIPZ Cologne (1/2) mpipz.mpg.de/acosta

It also includes a link to the press release of our recent paper Current Biology (2/3) mpipz.mpg.de/5432174/news_p…

Our group has developed #barley transformation in the line Golden Promise Fast. Anyone can transform with this line, which should become the standard for barley functional genetics. Questions welcomed. Txs to Maria von Korff PlantGen_HHU, who originally generated the line! (3/3)

An interesting editorial perspective on the food systems crisis in @nature Highlights four hurdles to sustainability 1. Food waste in producing animal products 2. Food waste in harvest and storage 3. Food waste to biofuel 4. Reliance on just ~5 crops nature.com/articles/d4158…

Today's issue of Current Biology features our story on auxin's role in barley pollen maturation and our proposed cover with beautiful art/science by Rob Kesseler

Current issue: Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog…

There is also a nice Dispatch by Michael Mudgett and Yunde Zhao commenting on our findings and proposing extra ideas and research avenues. Plenty of exciting questions to answer with #auxin and reproductive biology! cell.com/current-biolog…

Delighted to see my image of a barley floret on the new cover of Current Biology from a project with Ivan F. Acosta great art and science collaboration. Central Saint Martins

Last week, the EU Commission started its second public consultation concerning the regulation of genome-edited crops in the European Union. 🧬🌻 I would like to encourage everyone to participate in this questionnaire and promote an evidence-based regulation! #GiveGenesAChance 🌱
