Prakash Sivakumar (Siva, 🗣️/ˈsɪ va: /, Dr. PS) and others show the sporophyte of dicot plants controls male gametophyte's development through a gene called SHUKR. This improves our understanding of pollen development in these plants. Full paper here: nature.com/articles/s4147… 2/2

New Letter: "Sporophyte-directed gametogenesis in Arabidopsis" rdcu.be/ed0V0 In flowering plants the gametophyte develops within the sporophyte. Male gametophyte development in Arabidopsis is directed by the sporophyte through repression of gametogenesis genes.

Nature Plants Prakash Sivakumar (Siva, 🗣️/ˈsɪ va: /, Dr. PS) Excellent work "sporophyte directed gametogenesis" from Imran's lab. Congratulations, Prakash Sivakumar (Siva, 🗣️/ˈsɪ va: /, Dr. PS) I enjoyed reading this story as part of your thesis and now here Nature Plants

#preprint_alert Happy to share our latest work on the identification of a MAPK6 allele that is novel to the rice germplasm. We show that the mutant allele is linked to resistance against the bacterial blight of rice. Mutant plants display constitutive immunity.

New Article: "An Oryza-specific histone H4 variant predisposes H4 lysine 5 acetylation to modulate salt stress responses" rdcu.be/eg0Zs An Oryza-specific histone H4 variant (H4.V) forms condensed, less stable nucleosomes, regulating the salt stress transcriptome.
