I am so excited to share our report on the first-ever successful CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing in oats, now published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal. Kudos to the Singh Lab (@JaswinderMcGill). Honoured to have it as a part of my PhD research. Link: doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70146

Abstract. Common wheat is an allohexaploid, where it is difficult to obtain homoeolog-distinguished transcriptome data. Lasy-Seq, a type of 3ʹ RNA-seq, is

🌡️ Temps are high this week & we know heat can be a problem for crops. To help @sbodes12 @UniofAdelaide is leading work to investigate 3 biochemical processes in wheat for new heat tolerance traits. The aim is to provide wheat breeders with tools to select for more heat-tolerant wheat. 👉 bit.ly/3AVR8ag 📷 Sue Knights

Pleased to share this paper, now online @NewPhyt, where we look at the genes expressed in fern guard cells, and the functionality of anion channels from the SLAC/SLAH family from ferns and other other diverse plant groups. Check it out here: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…
A multipanel figure showing that unlike angiosperm stomata, fern stomata are insensitive to abscisic acid (ABA), and fern guard cell SLOW ANION CHANNEL (SLAC) homologues are not activated by ABA-signalling kinases. (a) Fluorescent images of guard cells of the angiosperm Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) and fern Polypodium vulgare after current ejection of 1 mM Lucifer Yellow, or 1 mM LY with 1 mM ABA. (b) Brightfield images of the same guard cells up to 20 min after current ejection. (c) Normalised stomatal aperture over 20 mins, showing a decrease in stomatal aperture in response to ABA in N. tabacum but not P. vulgare. (d) Mean whole-oocyte current measurements of SLAC homologues from the angiosperm Arabidopsis thaliana (responsive) and the ferns P. vulgare and Ceratopteris richardii (not responsive), co-expressed with or without ABA-signalling kinases in Xenopus oocytes.

Very nice ECR presentation by @BlanquezMarina from @JohnInnesCentre @CristobalUauy @sbodes12 on Unlocking the secrets of female fertility in wheat for improved hybrid seed production. Check out her recent preprint too below! #IWC2024Perth

Replying to @sbodes12
Really interesting outcomes of her analysis of stigma survival and hybrid seed set are available here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Stigma longevity is not a major limiting factor in hybrid wheat seed production

Hybrids offer a promising approach to improve crop performance because the progeny are often superior to their parent lines and they outyield inbred varieties. A major challenge in producing hybrid...
