Interesting kernel in the center of the picture. Half su1, half sh2-i.

A few years ago @GregHudalla and I started an interesting and fun research collaboration. I knew little about biomedical engineering, and conversely, I think Greg never envisioned a project involving corn. Happy to see the second paper of this collab out. https://t.co/inzaZXvI0o

Did you know potatoes are a nutritional powerhouse?

A single medium-sized potato can provide about half of your daily vitamin C needs & is packed with protein, calcium, vitamin B, iron, potassium, & zinc.

Our paper on local adaptation of seminal root number in maize 🌽 is now out in @NatureGenet. This story started 8 years ago as a postdoc project of Peng Yu (@Cfg_Peng). A 🧵 on some of our major findings 👇 1/13

@ChenxinLi2 We’ve done some work with it in tomatoes and blueberry. https://t.co/WVbzy7OiVu

And others here have also looked at strawberry and citrus.

@dudelbem Bacana. Vou ler com mais calma também. Alguma delas sugere Chlamydia? Existe uma hipótese que genes de biossíntese de carboidrato vieram de chlamy

Congratulations to Rafaela Graciano, https://t.co/5gTH8c3p3O student in out lab and soon starting her Ph.D in the @UFPlantbreeding program. She is currently working on phenomic selection in sweet corn using the single kernel NIR.

@jrossibarra @emollick @William9784422 Indeed it is unlikely that this was the origin. Laughnan received the stock from professor E. B. Mains. Mains describes in a paper that the origin of the stock was a self pollination made in 1943 (F1 cross in 1942). The timeline is incompatible with atomic testing in 1946.

Latest manuscript coming out of our lab in collaboration with Al Myers's lab and Sam Zeeman's lab. This research forced me to step out of my comfort zone, but it was quite fun. https://t.co/KjOWTzgNUD
