How does the North Central Region of the United States perceive residents from different cultures and belief systems?🥸 NCRCRD (ncrcrd.ag.purdue.edu/2023/04/25/how… )

Thrilled to present for the first time at the evolution meeting. Come check out my talk on mapping the genetic basis of heterosis. #Evol2023

Please check out our recently accepted publication in IJPS! Using flower mass, autofertility rates, and seed number/mass of cleistogamous and chasmogamous flowers we calculated and compared the cost of reproduction of both flower types!

Very excited to share this new preprint led by Gwonjin Lee and Brian J. Sanderson before him, where we functionally validate (in the native genetic backgrounds) the causal polymorphism underlying a large effect genetic trade-off QTL. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Recent paper from the Lab !!! Check out this awesome work on the maintenance of outcrossing done by Tatyana Soto - #BlackBotanistsWeek

Hands down the best part of my job. Congratulations, Dr. Rivera-Zuluaga! Corteva is lucky to have you!

Thrilled to finally see this out. Work led by former postdocs in the lab Gwonjin Lee and Brian Sanderson. A large-effect fitness trade-off across environments is explained by a single mutation affecting cold acclimation | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Finally published in PNAS. We demonstrated how significantly a single (!) gene, a major regulator of cold-acclimated freezing tolerance, contributes to local adaptation and fitness trade-offs across contrasting environments.

Third chapter of my dissertation is already available in Journal of Evolutionary Biology. In the paper, I present results of the first GxE association analysis that quantifies variation at the foraging gene (𝑓𝑜𝑟) among samples of 🪰 structured across space and time... academic.oup.com/jeb/advance-ar…

As we put on hats and coats to stay warm during the winter, plants also adapt to the seasons. Chris Oakley (Chris Oakley) and his Purdue BPP lab are uncovering the genetic story of how Arabidopsis acclimates to the cold. 🧥🌱❄️🧬 ag.purdue.edu/news/2024/02/t…

While working for a landscaping business, Stephen Mills grew curious about the way plants grew and landscape design, but the thought of going back to school was daunting. Mills designed a path to Purdue Horticulture and Landscape Architecture through Ivy Tech that made it possible. purdue.ag/stephen-mills

I am pleased to share that my latest research article about Tar Spot colonization in maize leaves has been published in Phytopathology! Anjali Iyer-Pascuzzi Helm Lab John Bonkowski Camila Rocco da Silva Austin McCoy Martin Chilvers Darcy Telenko apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/full/10.10…

Phyllachora maydis is a major threat to maize yields in the United States. Denise Caldwell et al. uncover how the pathogen colonizes and spreads within maize leaves.
