@thecapitulab is hiring! Looking for a Postdoc to work on this @NSF funded project studying capitulum development @AuburnU. The work involves really cool developmental transcriptomics of diverse species while diving deeper with functional genetics. Reach out with questions! 🌻

🌻Ever wonder how the capitulum evolved? Excited to announce our NSF PGRP award to ask that question! Work will generate new genomic resources across Asterales, Dipsacales and Apiales to address broad questions related to capitulum development and evolution @Dsjones552 @jmbrkphd

All the great development and #compositae talks last week have me itching to dive into some of the weird phenotypes we've seen!

We get pretty excited when we run into a flower bed of our study organisms around town at #Botany2022!! Yay Bidens and Marigolds! @reid_selby @BrannanRose1

Been having some mental health struggles, so I barely registered this as a win, but our latest work on the Texas sunflowers 🌻 is out in Early View in @journal_evo! And #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Hybrid evolution repeats itself across environmental contexts in Texas sunflowers (Helianthus)

To what extent is evolution repeatable? Little is known about whether the evolution of hybrids is more (or less) repeatable than that of nonhybrids. We used field experimental evolution in annual...

Excited to see this out in print and open access online with @theAGA_org! Assembling a genome is hard, assembling a very large hexaploid plant genome is a Herculean task, but lead Renee Bellinger made it all look too easy. A genome for Bidens hawaiensis. academic.oup.com/jhered/arti…

Endangered plant emergency 📢🆘: blushing Layia (Layia erubescens B.G. Baldwin), is a new species from California described on the brink of extinction due to degradation of coastal dune habitats. The ray corolla "blushes" in age from white to pink to rose.
