Brassica scientist working towards crop improvement
Ending the year on a high point. 3 new PhDs made - they have all been amazing students and I am so proud! Gurpinder even managed to release his lovely story about the effect of cold on SOC1 and gene regulatory networks :)

Network analysis of flowering time genes suggests regulatory changes among SOC1 orthologues in response to cold in Brassica napus
Flowering plants respond to multiple environmental and endogenous cues to determine the timing of their transition from the vegetative to floral state. Most of our knowledge of the gene regulatory net...

Arabidopsis natural variation induces complex transcriptomic heterochronies at the floral transition and perturbs the coupling between leaf and flower development by an unexpected genetic control
Plant development may be viewed as a sequence of tightly orchestrated events in space and time. The coordination of developmental stages gives rise to various organs, such as leaves or flowers. For in...

Amazing to see PTI and ETI suppression taking place from same Aphid. I'm imagining the evolutionary arms race that led to this 😍 Congrats to Team Hogenhout.
