1/9 I am excited to share our pre-print on spatial transcriptomics in wheat spikes in collaboration with @AshleighSLister. Using MERFISH, we resolved the expression of 200 genes to cellular resolution. Check out the pre-print πŸ‘‰tinyurl.com/c7t3kncf

Great work by @simmojsimmo @NikolaiAdamski @AndyChen_Wheat & Pam to sow our first transgene-free genome edited wheat field trial. We will test cis-regulatory edits on yield components. Science-based regulation to move research into field! @ERC_Research @BBSRC #GiveGenesAChance

I am really excited to share our latest manuscript, @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. We investigated the life and death of basal spikelets in wheat. Huge thanks to my supervisor @CristobalUauy for the support and many discussions. We’d love to hear your feedback. (1/12)

It turns out that FANCM promotes class I crossovers and suppresses class II crossovers in wheat. See our latest work nature.com/articles/s41467-0… @uniofleicester @hendersi @CristobalUauy

This is Triticum polonicum, a tetraploid wheat subspecies first described by Linnaeus in 1753 and which was instrumental in the study of quantitative variation by early geneticists such as Biffen. We recently cloned P1, the gene responsible for its striking glume morphology. 1/n

BLOG - @Studio_Flozbox is a Science Technician in the @CristobalUauy lab by day and an artist by night. We caught up with him to ask how he is bringing these two passions together and providing scientific illustrations for published papers okt.to/j45X0k
