Cover of the June 2025 issue (Volume 67, Issue 6) of the Journal of Integrative Plant Biology. The cover features a bright orange citrus fruit, cut in half transversely to reveal stylized representations of meiosis in each segment. White citrus flowers surround the fruit, and strands of DNA with notations indicating deletions run between the two halves. Cover designed by Yan-Jie Fan, Wen-Wu Guo and Xiao-Meng Wu.

Seedlessness is a valuable trait in #fruit #crops.
In this #juicy new study by Fan et al., we learn that #somatic variations in the #meiosis-specific #gene CrMER3 confer #seedlessness in a #citrus bud sport cultivar! Free to read! 🔓
