If you're in Ghent tomorrow ! I'll be sharing our recent progress deciphering the sRNA-based dominance/recessivity interactions at the self-incompatibility locus in Arabidopsis 🌱

Autopolyploid establishment under gametophytic self-incompatibility: the impact of self-fertilization and pollen limitation

The second Ph.D. chapter of Diane's thesis is out as a preprint. She studied the joint evolution of autopolyploidy and self-fertilization under a gametophytic self-incompatibility context.

Feel free to comment, and congratulations, Diane!

Happy to share that our study on heat-induced secondary dormancy is now published! 🌱

Here we studied how natural populations differ in their dormancy response to heat, and how this natural variation can shape local adaptation and future range shifts.🌦️

Heat‐Induced Secondary Dormancy Contributes to Local Adaptation in Arabidopsis thaliana
Seeds should not germinate in conditions unsuitable for seedling growth. Dormancy, which allows seeds to remain inactive in an environment that would otherwise enable germination, helps optimise the ....

Transposable elements are vectors of recurrent transgenerational epigenetic inheritance
DNA methylation loss at transposable elements (TEs) can affect neighboring genes and be epigenetically inherited in plants, yet the determinants and significance of this additional system of inheritan...
