Knocking out one homoeolog in wheat doesn't cause the other homoeologs to be upregulated... nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Great work led by @delfidorussen.bsky.social with @emilieknight.bsky.social @simmojsimmo.bsky.social

- I'm excited to share our work investigating transcriptional compensation in polyploid wheat 🌾 It was fun to work on this project led by @philippaborrill.bsky.social and myself, with key contributions from @emilieknight.bsky.social and @simmojsimmo.bsky.social The key take-aways, a 🧵
- We asked whether mutations in single genes are compensated by transcriptional up-regulation of their homoeologs, given that mutations in multiple homoeologs are often required to produce a mutant phenotype in wheat (i.e. the homoeologs are redundant) 1/8
- Reposted by Delfi DorussenHappy to share that our study of inheritance of homoeolog expression bias in wheat biparental populations is out in @biomedcentral.bsky.social Genome Biology! 🧬 Many thanks to all co-authors and @philippaborrill.bsky.social for great leadership on the project! #PlantScience #Botany rdcu.be/eokf2
- Very cool protocol development from Emilie in the Borrill Lab 🧪 👇
- Pleased to have finally got this method to work in wheat! Find out how you can identify direct targets of transcription factors in wheat using protoplasts and the TARGET method: dx.doi.org/10.17504/pro... A very useful method for our group to use! borrilllab.com

- I’m very happy to share the published version of our paper on the role of MET1 in wheat 🌾 🧬 It’s been really exciting to discover more about DNA methylation in wheat and it’s huge polyploid genome doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...
- It was great to work on this project together with Sam Burrows and @philippaborrill.bsky.social, as well as having vital contributions from Joe Crudgington, Giorgia di Santolo, James Simmonds and Marco Catoni

- It was great fun to present some of my research into functional redundancy in wheat at the IWGSC workshop at #PAG32 😄🌾🧬
- Some cool research I was very happy to be a part of 🌱👇
