🌱🧬Phenotypic plasticity lets 1 genotype produce many phenotypes
This review links molecular mechanisms to breeding for climate adaptation. Understanding plasticity helps build crops that keep yields stable as climates shift #plantsci @annualreviews.bsky.social www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...
New insights into how wheat responds to combined heat, drought, and salinity stress 🌾🔥💧🧂
Small RNAs are emerging as key regulators that fine-tune stress-response networks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @aafc-aac.bsky.social
Using GWAS + deep learning, we show that balsam poplar TERPENE SYNTHASE5 is a key regulator of leaf size and shape. doi.org/10.3389/fpls... #poplar #GWAS #deeplearning #leaftraits
Breeding better #seabuckthorn! At AAFC, we identified 4 standout genotypes with longer fruit stalks (easier to harvest), larger, sweeter berries, and richer nutrition. Weather played a key role too. doi.org/10.1139/cjps...
Last week, International Poplar Sympoisum & Short Rotation Woody Crops came together at MSU, alongside field visits to Eastern cottonwood trials at Stoneville, Mississippi. #poplar #breeding #fast-growing-trees
Our GWAS identified a key genomic region associated with alkene production, providing new insights into poplar adaptation and climate resilience. doi.org/10.3389/fpls...

Low nitrogen promotes longer roots but limits canola growth. Hybrids thrive under high N, while open-pollinated lines perform better under low N. Funded by AAFC, Sask Oilseeds, Alberta Canola, Manitoba Canola Growers, Canola Council of Canada. doi.org/10.1002/ppj2...

I am grateful to my advisor @aribidopsis.bsky.social, Ashraf Lab members, and our collaborator @rajuaafc.bsky.social for constant support.
It wouldn’t be possible without generous funding from NSERC and CFI; and the supportive @ubcbotany.bsky.social @science.ubc.ca grad program.
Phenotypic plasticity (PP) is a fundamental property of plants, enabling a single genotype to produce different phenotypes in response to environmental variation. This ability is crucial for survival ...
