Published the second of two back-to-back NAVs with my long-time friend and favorite coauthor, @janlorobil! Note for me: don't sleep while your friend (on the other side of the earth) is still awake, they will sign you up to co-write a NAV 😂

I know it has been a while; my RUBY marchantia did make (bloody) sexual structures👹. I took pictures but forgot to post. (Here is a pic for you @AlexGirFon)

newest collaboration with Zhao Lab, led by Xiaomeng Shen, uncovers how KRN5b regulates maize kernel row number through phosphoinositol signaling! I feel so satisfied that our whole-mount immunolocalization protocol worked like a champ with the “oldie-but-goodie ” PIN1 antibody.
KRN5b regulates the maize kernel development through its influence on hormones. (h–n) fluorescent PIN1immunohistochemistry signals in immature ears of control (h–j) or KRN5b KO (k–n). (h) PIN1 immunolocalisation in the cross section of control ear. (i and j) PIN1 immunolocalisation (red in i and j) merged with DAPI (blue in j) in the vertical section of control ear.

KRN5b regulates maize kernel row number through mediating phosphoinositol signalling

Kernel row number (KRN) is a major yield related trait for maize (Zea mays L.) and is also a major goal of breeders, as it can increase the number of kernels per plant. Thus, identifying new genetic...

Had a great evolution development discussion with @DolanLab at @CSHLplantcourse ! I learned so much about meristem development in Marchantia and explored the fascinating intersection between maize and Marchantia development. Exciting science can keep you up better than coffee! 🌽
