@arun_shun@wentaozhang8 Several known loci in pea confer this trait. The identity of one has been reported (Arabidopsis CLV1 ortholog), others not yet. Several loci also known in Arabidopsis I believe…
HT also to Mark Chapman (@CUCsoton) for a nice summary, a generous endorsement, and some cham-pea-on pun-ishment in the title (https://t.co/MxG1lv2eMi)
Worth giving a little bump to two papers recently appearing in @JXBot. Back-to-back, even! (thanks JXB).

This twitter newbie/numpty still learning how threads work & doing some housekeeping
So, gratuitous weekend plant art thread (take two)…here we go:

Because you care about nature, but have heard nothing about it this election campaign, we've written a report on the government's handling of the extinction crisis @BrenWintle@ICON_Science#auspol

Not too many genetic surprises with this latest one, showing just how sharp those pioneering pea geneticists Ian Murfet and Gerry Marx were! Also, yet again running into apparent gain-of function at a key #florigen locus FTa1 - becoming a theme in the temperate pulses 🧐
Third, another freshly laid 🥚 in @JXBot, an analysis of the major flowering time and photoperiod response changes in pea since its domestication. Part 1 from Owen Williams’ PhD, with some more solid follow-up from others in the group 🙏. https://t.co/EdX20iJ9yh
