The mystery of redundancy between homoeologs continues! Knocking out one homoeolog in wheat doesn't cause the other homoeologs to be upregulated... nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Great work led by @delfidorussen.bsky.social with @emilieknight.bsky.social @simmojsimmo.bsky.social

Congratulations to Isabel Faci @johninnescentre.bsky.social winner of the #Monogram2025 ECR excellence award! Fascinating talk on how decoupling environmental signals can induce aerial branching in wheat!

Wonderful talk from @delfidorussen.bsky.social at #Monogram2025 about DNA methylation mutants in wheat. You can read the full MET1-1 mutant characterisation which was just published this week @jxbotany.bsky.social ⬇️

Really enjoying #Monogram2025 so far @ibers.bsky.social Great talk by @chen-ji.bsky.social on her latest work exploring gene expression patterns in wheat grains. So many interesting genes to characterise!

Starting to build our lab's interactions on bluesky. It appears we've got a positional effect from the summer lab photo 😂... @delfidorussen.bsky.social @chen-ji.bsky.social @beccatesta.bsky.social ... but not for alumnus @glombikm.bsky.social (top left of photo) @johninnescentre.bsky.social
