I’m excited that our study of epigenetic aging in plants is online in Science today. Never expected that a tiny short-lived plant can tell us secrets of aging. https://t.co/0UktZLOpH2

I am delighted that our paper on epigenetic dynamics during plant aging is out in print today in Science! Hugely grateful to the coauthors in particular @amaizeingcorn for heroic hard work, creativity and enthusiasm in putting this together!

Epigenetic clocks in plants: uncovering DNA methylation decay in aging https://t.co/qp0jMrU7rw

[Alex Colville @AlexJColville]

This unexpected paper on the epigenetics of plant aging brought my day a lot of joy. Evidence that epigenetic changes could be more of a consequence rather than a cause of aging!

[Ben Williams @WilliamsSci]

It is my absolute pleasure to share my incredible postdoc Dawei's @amaizeingcorn manuscript on epigenetics and aging in Arabidopsis. It is the work I am most proud of thus far in my career, and every figure has a breakthrough that we are excited about

The reviewers were all excellent - helpful, thorough and fair, and made it a stronger paper :)

First time at #PAG30! if you’re interested in plant imprinting, come to find us at 13:52 in Town and Country C, Mark @AMarkSettles will give a talk about imprinting. Our poster is #972 (the last one, I forgot to submit this😅)

[Dawei Dai @amaizeingcorn]

@MarcioResendeJr I’ll be there on weekend 14/15

@szintri @xiaoguanghuan I just saw this 2 mins ago 😁

Paspalum is a grass so stress tolerant it was picked as the official turf of the world cup in Qatar. A very stressful environment. Today we're publishing the paspalum genome. A crop wild relative that may teach maize (corn) to grow with less fertilizer. https://t.co/0fRzEHP6OV

[Ben Williams @WilliamsSci]

Delighted to post our lab's manuscript! Awesome work by @clarajanae and @amaizeingcorn with help from @Grey_Monroe

Sweet corn, an $800 million crop in America, gains continued scientific attention. @UF geneticist @MarcioResendeJr recently received $3.97M to lead a national effort to breed disease and pest-resistant varieties and develop new technology. This adds to a $7.3M @USDA_NIFA grant.
