Check out a nice barley seed development atlas from the Aleš Pečinka Lab! We collaborated to create a new view for Kovacik et al.'s (doi.org/10.1093/plcell…) RNA-seq data in the BAR's Barley ePlant. Cheers 🍻!

A hallmark of sex is each parent transmits half of their genome through a recombined egg or sperm. What if this was not the case? Check our new paper Nature Genetics where we break this rule via diploid clonal gametes and develop polyploid genome design nature.com/articles/s4158…

Great to have Duarte D. Figueiredo visiting our plant reproduction department (RDP ENS de Lyon) and talking about seed! 🌱

In this work - out in The Plant Journal - we explore use of a ternary vector system and GRF-GIF morphogenic regulators for improved maize transformation and gene editing. In collaboration with Juan M Debernardi UCDavisPlants. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… VIB Plant Science

So proud of my lab for our latest work out today in Nature Publishing. We took advantage of transposable elements and CRISPR to perform targeted insertion of cargo DNA in the Arabidopsis and soy genomes. Led by Peng Liu. nature.com/articles/s4158…. 🧵

Congrats Sara Pinto on your paper! I think I count 11 nationalities? The first data came in 1998... 26 years later the story has progressed but is still not complete! Callose is a cool polymer 😎🍀👩‍🔬 nature.com/articles/s4146… Waite Research Institute Australian Research Council Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology Nature Communications

I filmed the microscopic explosions that allow sperm release and fertilization in flowering plants at the highest resolution to date and in 3D 💥(biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) Don’t have time to read? Just watch the movies in this thread 🧵
