- Reposted by Dani Rosadonph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/JAIVZX... Excited to share my latest work in @newphyt.bsky.social. Here, we used TurboID proximity labeling with CLAVATA receptors FEA3 and BAM1D in maize meristems to better understand the signaling pathways important for meristem regulation. #PlantScience

- Reposted by Dani RosadoSomeone got Cas9-Turbo to work. It's like basically Y1H but with proteomics. It however requires transgenic plant expressing Cas9-Turbo and gRNAs, which is still cumbersome for many plants that are not Arabidopsis. #PlantSciences

- Deleting a gluten component can only lead to dough worsening, right? WRONG!
- New work from a graduate student, Maria Rottersman, and others in the lab demonstrates that deleting the alpha-gliadins on chromosome 6D of wheat improves gluten strength and produces less celiac disease epitopes. Check it out now in Theoretical and Applied Genetics: rdcu.be/egXZ2

- Glad to share our new print about the interaction of LFY and WAPO1 natural alleles in wheat: rdcu.be/dX2qD We found that natural alleles in wheat LFY-B genes (promoter indel, P34L, R80S) affect spikelet number per spike (SNS) and significantly interact with WAPO1 C47F.
