University of Illinois Chicago: Pressed plants reveal living genetic messages, decades later . “In a new study, researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago extracted viable RNA, the essential messenger of genetic information, from plants from museum collections. This research breakthrough will make it possible for scientists to study plant evolution, gene regulation and adaptation using […]

Wildflower's Drought Comeback: A Glimpse of Rapid Evolution

California's scarlet monkeyflower quickly recovered from a bad drought by using existing genes. This shows how some plants can adapt to climate change.

This wildflower recovered from a severe drought by quickly changing its genes. This is faster than scientists expected and shows hope for plant survival in changing climates.

A new preprint from the lab testing aspects of a hypothesis that lower chromosome numbers may result from selection to reduce independently assorting incompatibilities. In short, we do not find evidence to support the hypothesis in our analyses. Great work led by PhD student Geoff Finch!

Post-zygotic reproductive isolation is not correlated with chromosome number in plants

Dynamic plants: Origin & geographic evolution of cycads clarified

Paleobotanist have made an important breakthrough in understanding the origin and geographic distribution of cycads. By combining genetic data with leaf morphological data from both fossil and living species for the first time, the researchers created a phylogenetic tree of these fascinating and endangered plants.

Well i guess this is really happening… looking forward to reconnecting with community of #PlantEcology, #PlantEvolution, and #Conservation folks on this new platform. Already seeing some familiar faces!
I am a plant ecologist based at #SmithCollege focused on questions around plant conservation and #ClimateChange, with some developing projects exploring #CarnivorousPlants as well as #mycorrhizae. My lab involves mostly undergraduates #PUI and often collaborates w/ #SmithCollegeBotanicGarden.
