Made a collage of #asteraceae / #daisy tribes for a talk next week. Left to right, top to bottom: Barnadesieae, Cardueae, Gochnatieae, Arctotideae, Mutisieae, Vernonieae, Cichorieae, Anthemideae, Calenduleae, Gnaphalieae, Astereae, Senecioneae, Inuleae, Heliantheae, Eupatorieae

We are so excited for #Botany2022! Three abstracts submitted from our lab! Can't wait to share our (very new) science and get to meet and chat with people at a big in-person conference!! (big plus for it being Alaska) brannan Reid Selby Daniel Jones

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.

Excited to see this out in print and open access online with American Genetic Association! 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/article…

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 Evolution Journal! And #openaccess onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I’m *very* happy to see this paper w/Dr. Ashley Earley and Andries Temme accepted for publication in The Plant Journal. Click through to learn more than you ever wanted to know about the genetic basis of variation in leaf anatomy in sunflower! 🌻 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wow, that was quick… Our work on the genetics of leaf anatomical variation in sunflower (w/grad student Dr. Ashley Earley and former postdoc Andries Temme) is already up on The Plant Journal’s website. 🌻🍃🧬 @UGAGradStudies UGA Research PlantCenterUGA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

thecapitulab is ready for an awesome #Botany2022 meeting! Be sure to check out brannan (PCB004) and Reid Selby (PDS010) posters this evening if you’re at the meeting to hear about their amazing conservation genomics and flower development work!

We can’t wait for this talk and this amazing symposium!

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 brannan

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

Symmetry vs coloration in flowers: a tight genetic link through evolutionary co-option ow.ly/Nol450KrroW #Commentary by Teng Zhang highlighting the recent work by Zhang et al ow.ly/bMF750KrroX

Very excited to welcome new PhD student Guillian Hernández Casanova to Auburn University! Guillian Hernández Casanova will be working with us alongside Dr. Courtney Leisner's awesome group! So happy to have you here Guillian!

🌻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 Daniel Jones jmb, phd

thecapitulab is hiring! Looking for a Postdoc to work on this U.S. National Science Foundation funded project studying capitulum development Auburn University. The work involves really cool developmental transcriptomics of diverse species while diving deeper with functional genetics. Reach out with questions! 🌻

So happy to share that I will be joining thecapitulab at Auburn University this fall as a PhD Student 😊 Watch your head! 🌻

New #postdoctoral opportunity in our lab group! workforum.memphis.edu/postings/35773 DM with questions! RT please 🌻

Hey #Botany2023, check out thecapitulab posters on Monday to hear about some Asteraceae genomics and floral development!! Fortunate to have these three representing the lab! brannan: LOC #039 Evie Moellering: LOC #040 Reid Selby: LOC #045

Moving to the other one, same handle!
