I filmed the microscopic explosions that allow sperm release and fertilization in flowering plants at the highest resolution to date and in 3D 💥(biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…)
Don’t have time to read? Just watch the movies in this thread 🧵
Does nature ever stop surprising us? A super interesting mechanism of pollen meiotic drive!
Why was corn able to spread and adapt so rapidly across the Americas 4,000 years ago? Research from CSHL’s Rob Martienssen suggests that the answer may lie in a genetic system called Teosinte Pollen Drive. cshl.edu/corns-missing-link/
Had a great time at #ICSPR2024 at Brown University! One of the best I ever attended, great science, amazing people, new collaborators! @PurdueCPB @PurdueBPP , @PurdueAg
We finish the morning with Leonor Boavida and her studies on tetraspanin microdomains and membrane signaling hubs for fertilization factors 🌱 #ICSPR2024

We were busy all day @PurdueSpringFest making pollinations and looking at flowers, pollen and gametes! @KeilaJ824 Alaina Gartner @siennaogawa and Sharon Kessler. Thank you all our visitors ! It was a fantastic day! @LifeAtPurdue @PurdueAg @PurdueBPP
Our @PurdueBPP undergrads were busy @PurdueOUR Purdue Undergraduate Research Showcase and did great! @KeilaJ824 Ethan Kaser and @ConnorB36688549 @PurdueAg
It seems effortless, but it is not! At the very least...Impressive! Thank you @NickDesnoyer
Having trouble with in vitro fertilization imaging in Arabidopsis? In this @JoVEJournal paper, I describe our modified technique, SIV cum septum, which allows for the observation of up to 40 fertilization events per imaging session: app.jove.com/t/65156/live-im…
