Sergio Perez Limon describing in #Zeavolution his MexMagic population to study local adaptation in maize. Pointing out that you can't make popcorn garlands with the reference genome 😂 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

My grad student Julia @juliazheku.bsky.social is doing something which I never did before! She is studying spatial-temporal polar barrier in wheat and maize root.
Julia had her first sneak peak of what she is doing at #Zeavolution today
Long way to go 🔬🔬🔬
Wonderful #Zeavolution talk this morning by @galenm.bsky.social ! Talking about pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37918960/ and other work.

Wonderful #Zeavolution this morning on heirloom corn by Sherry Flint-Garcia youtu.be/hzDyzD1cc3Q
Happy to say that with the US govt now chugging along again we’ll have Sherry Flint-Garcia presenting at #Zeavolution tomorrow!
For #Zeavolution this week we’ll have Ty Thomas from the Gage lab presenting “Dissecting the Genetic and Regulatory Basis of GxE”, see everyone tomorrow!
For this weeks #Zeavolution I’m pleased to announce that Alex Lipka of UIUC will be presenting on his omnigenic model. See everyone on Wednesday!
Brilliant use of gfp-tagged transposons & automated scoring of kernels, combined with differential style-lengths along maize ear, to screen for genes underlying pollen competition in maize. Diana gave a banger of a presentation on this in #Zeavolution this morning. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Stomatal responses in diverse maize! Bummed I missed this @mfacette.bsky.social talk while traveling but it’s now up on YouTube! #zeavolution going strong this semester thanks to hosts @jghodge.bsky.social and Sanzhen Liu. youtu.be/kveULXfq7fs
For this weeks #Zeavolution we’ll have Diana Ruggiero presenting on “Spatial inheritance patterns across maize ears are associated with alleles that reduce pollen fitness” following along an adjacent project to @jefowlerjr.bsky.social see everyone Wednesday!
For this week’s #Zeavolution we’ll have Hui Liu from Sanzhen Liu’s lab presenting on “CRISPRa in maize”. See everyone Wednesday!
Cool presentation by @jefowlerjr.bsky.social using high-throughput GFP transposon tagging to identify genes that affect pollen viability/competition, from this week's #Zeavolution youtu.be/BxiT2MCNYUQ
it was awesome to share my work at #zeavolution! a fun mix of maize biologists attend, which led to a lot of interesting questions and perspectives.
Penelope Lindsay on ear development in maize. From last week's #Zeavolution seminar: youtu.be/KEZ8LdkD1to
This week we’ll be continuing #Zeavolution with @jefowlerjr.bsky.social presenting on the often forgotten generation with his talk “Successful Predictive Modeling of Pollen Fitness Phenotypes Is Enabled by Measures of Expression Specificity”. See everyone on Wednesday!
looking forward to presenting at #zeavolution this Wednesday on Zoom!
Really stoked for this weeks’ #Zeavolution with @penlindsay.bsky.social presenting her previous work “CLAVATA receptor networks shape maize development”, got some awesome developmental speakers this semester and it looks like we’re starting off strong this week, see everyone Wednesday!
For this week’s #Zeavolution Akwasi Yeboah from the Zhao lab will continue along the theme of genomic structural variation from last week in presenting “Determination of genetic and epigenetic regulation of meiotic recombination under maize domestication”. See everyone on Wednesday morning!
Hua Yang from UM on ploidy and genome balance in maize in this morning's #Zeavolution. We still have a couple open slots this Fall. Reply or DM if you'd like to join!
