A pile of berry fruits including blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and goldenberries in the foreground.

New paper from friends pushing forward CRISPR improvement of an underutilized crop that I personally think is delicious, goldenberry! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #plantscienceresearch

🎓 Congrats to Élody Vallet for successfully defending her PhD on “Cellular responses to mitochondrial genome damage in plants” on June 5, 2025! A great achievement under the supervision of José Gualberto 👏🌱 #PhDDefense #PlantScience #PlantScienceResearch

Hello beauty😍
Perfect entry point with arbuscules of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus in roots of Lotus japonicus.

This paper is a tour de force from many friends and collaborators across Solanum expertise! Check it out to learn about the behavior of paralogs in genomes plus the Solanum genus and it's incredible potential for new crops! #plantscienceresearch

This team and our unique dataset have been instrumental in shaping my thinking about paralogs, epistasis, and quantitative genetics. I hope our work inspires others to reconsider the role of genomes in producing the diverse phenotypes of the natural world! #plantscienceresearch

Cryptic variation fuels plant phenotypic change through hierarchical epistasis Cryptic genetic variants exert minimal or no phenotypic effects alone but have long been hypothesized to form a vast, hidden reservoir of genetic diversity that drives trait evolvability through epist...

Thrilled to share our latest preprint, an interdisciplinary look at epistasis between variants in the coding and noncoding genome! #plantscienceresearch www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nice work on evolution of genetic interaction between cis-reg elements in floral development! This study really hammered home for me the vast aesthetic difference between having one fewer petal (hideous) and one extra petal (charming) in brassicas. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... #plantscienceresearch

For fruit lovers: dehiscence zone patterning in California poppy does not require SEEDSTICK, but restricting endocarp cell division and expansion does! Check it out here: rdcu.be/d6sua ...we are still clueless about poppy's dehiscence zone genes
