How can plants maintain their genomic identity while also responding to the environment? @hajkdrost.bsky.social and I propose an "epigenetic toolkit" – a suite of epigenetic regulators that mediate the physiology-epigenome-genome crosstalk for adaptation. Read more here:

Can we tune a plant’s epigenetic toolkit to disrupt plant homeostasis in ways that enable phenotypic innovation?

Grateful to share that our study on "The genetic architecture of cell type–specific cis regulation in maize" is now published in @science.org! Huge thank you to all co-authors and the 4 tough, but fair, reviewers who all helped to improve the study 🌽🧬 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The genetic architecture of cell type–specific cis regulation in maize
Gene expression and complex phenotypes are determined by the activity of cis-regulatory elements. However, an understanding of how extant genetic variants affect cis regulation remains limited. Here, ...
