New Brief Communication: "Haploid male fertility is restored by parallel spindle genes in Arabidopsis thaliana" rdcu.be/c26tv
The lack of haploid male fertility is a bottleneck to improve the efficiency in doubled haploid technology for accelerating crop breeding.

Please retweet: Open postdoc position in our lab to characterize the role of plasmodesmata in plant development, focusing on cell to cell trafficking of the KN1/ STM class of homeodomain proteins and mRNAs. Experience in plant genetics and/or cell biology/ microscopy is desired.

Nice to see this out! A fun collaboration with Jianbing Yan and @NingYang9, led by the inimitable Lu Chen. We prsent resequencing of all taxa in the genus Zea, a resolved phylogeny, and a number of scans for selection. nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

My Perspective just out🌺(rdcu.be/cRZy6).
Based on recent studies on CLE genes in Marchantia and Arabidopsis, I proposed a new model on meristem evo-devo in land plants. The model can be tested by future studies on diverse plant species.

Corn season is here! Prof @MaizeMeristem work to improve those plans. Learn how he and his colleagues are finding ways to increase the amount that can be grown on the same acreage of land, in order to stay one step ahead of the changing climate. cshl.edu/corn-2-0/
