We are presenting our work at #LPSC2019 on growing plants on Mars. New experience with a lot of good discussion about habitation on Mars and other planets. A new area to discover more for plant biologists. #LSU_BioSci #LSUResearch
Genome browsers for extremophyte models, Schrenkiella parvula and Eutrema salsugineum are now available. Please check it out in the following link; lsugenomics.org/genome-brows…

The Agrobacterium-mediated floral dip transformation for the extremophyte Schrenkiella parvula is now published. The full paper and the video is available in the following link; jove.com/video/58544
It was nice to have Dr. Simon Barak from Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel as a CDIB/BMB seminar speaker at LSU. In collaboration with his group, we have recently published a review article; Link; plantphysiol.org/content/ear….
We have recently developed the CLfinder-OrthNet pipeline. This is useful to detect co-linearity among multiple closely related genomes, finds orthologous gene groups, and encodes the evolutionary history of each orthologue group into a network (OrthNet).
