Blocking the scissors: New genetic tool makes grain breeding faster Scientists have developed a new genetic tool that makes it easier and faster to breed grains that grow more efficiently and are better adapted to different environments. They're using a ground-breakin...

Check out our work on fine-tuning miRNA control of plant height in wheat and triticale, as covered by the folks at the plant sciences department! www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/news/deberna...

Spatial cell clusters based on the expression of 99 genes analyzed by smFISH at three stages of wheat spike development.

Expression profiles of genes differentially expressed during spikelet development.

We’re excited to share our new preprint on wheat spike development! We used spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq to take a closer look at the different cell types and expression domains during key developmental stages of the wheat spike. Check it out here:

Research Impacts of Recent Executive Orders and Memos – and a Call to Action to the ASPB Community | Plant Science Today Since President Donald Trump took office on January 20,4a series of executive actions have shaken the research community. Several executive orders were released that targeted diversity, equity, and in...

US plant science peeps: this is a *very* informative summary of the current state of plant science funding, and a call for your stories to help @aspbofficial.bsky.social make their case with public officials. Please re-skeet!

Hi everyone - just a reminder that when there’s a big earthquake in your region, it is really helpful to earthquake scientists if you fill our the “Did You Feel It” report on the USGS earthquake event page - even if it was just mild shaking or you didn’t feel it all - all the data is helpful! 🧪⚒️

I am not sure whole organ methods allows to see cell layer (L1, L2 and L3) specific signal

If I understand it correctly, fig4C does not indicate single cell origin. Rather indicates the plant is a chimera..

Can we join the contest with our RUBY petunias?

Super happy to have contributed to this amazing work done by David. He developed a protocol that allows us to regenerate plants from protoplast of multiple grape cultivars. Exciting times for genome editing in grapes!
