Congrats to Ed Buckler (USDA-ARS) who has been chosen as the 2025 recipient of The Barbara McClintock Prize for Plant Genetics and Genome Studies by the Maize Genetics Cooperation!

We are hiring THREE open-rank tenure-track positions! Deadlines are approaching! Join us @UVU Bacterial Patho: schooljobs.com/careers/uvu/jo… Physiology: schooljobs.com/careers/uvu/jo… Animal Biology/Zoology: schooljobs.com/careers/uvu/jo…

@UVUBiology is hiring an open rank TT faculty position with a background in Animal Biology/Zoology to start August 2025. @UVU’s beautiful campus is near the Wasatch Mountains, just 40 miles south of Salt Lake City! Learn more below and apply! Please RT! schooljobs.com/careers/uvu/jo…

This paper led by Dr. Atsushi Shimada is out @NaturePlants! Centromere function can be dependent on a few TEs, and in RNAi mutants, small RNAs targetting these TEs are enough to reestablish normal chromosome segregation! Crazy! nature.com/articles/s4147…

Congratulations to Zach Lippman, Jack Satterlee, and the team on their plant prickle study’s front-page feature in Science magazine.

Why was corn able to spread and adapt so rapidly across the Americas 4,000 years ago? Research from CSHL’s Rob Martienssen suggests that the answer may lie in a genetic system called Teosinte Pollen Drive. cshl.edu/corns-missing-…
