Calling maize detectives! 🕵️‍♂️🌽 We’re seeing some intriguing low-frequency phenotypes post-treatment in B73, and cotyledon leaves (not photographed) give knotted1 mutant vibes. Has anyone seen something similar? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🌽🔎

A productive day for Kenchanmane-Raju Lab! We just submitted three abstracts to #Botany2025 Excited to share our latest work on comparative transcriptomes, epigenomes, and single-cell transcriptomes in environmental stress responses in grasses🌱📢🌱

Santiago Salas from Scale Biosciences in today’s 'Lunch and Learn' at UC Riverside CNAS UC Riverside sharing insights on #SCALE technologies — including QuantumScale scRNA and scMet kits for large-scale #SingleCell sequencing!

Excited to share this UC Riverside CNAS video featuring our work! Kenchanmane-Raju Lab explores how environmental responses evolve—cell by cell, species by species—using single-cell and epigenomic tools in crops and their wild relatives. 🎥 youtu.be/8Q0K_3d0K6k 🌱 kenchanmanelab.com
