@MaizeZynskiHI @agentindeed No, just too-tall corn. Seems they often stretch out like that in the summer. And its so hot now the tassels are frying up there.

Thank you André for hosting me. It was great to visit Max Planck and meet all the great scientists and see the wonderful facilities. Also nice to see the sights of Cologne.

And here is my perspective on the new human artificial chromosome work. The methods deployed by Gambogi et al should be directly applicable to plants. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Ben Black's lab describes a superior method for preparing human artificial chromosomes. The chromosomes are small enough to be engineered in yeast, but large enough to carry multiple genes and segregate like normal human chromosomes in cultured cells science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New! Methylation-controlled gene regulation in maize pollen, led by Jonathan Gent (@corncolors group). Tldr: Two maize DNA glycosylases (DNGs, which demethylate DNA) redundantly enable high transcript levels of a small set (~50) of pollen-specific genes, biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Much of the maize pan-genome is ancient. We show that about a third of the pan-genome diverged earlier than ~100 kya and another third diverged ~10-30 kya, with centromere haplotypes appearing as evolutionary strata genome.cshlp.org/content/33/3/3…

A nice summary of our work on maize synthetic centromeres by @hendersi

Nature Plants@NaturePlants

New Article: "Synthetic maize centromeres transmit chromosomes across generations" rdcu.be/c72OV N&V: "Plant genetics: Creating synthetic maize centromeres" rdcu.be/c72OX Based on a LexA–CENH3 fusion; stably inherited and self-sustaining neochromosomes.

Our successful effort to create synthetic maize centromeres is now published! We hope to use this method to alter karyotypes in maize and other plants. And one day engineer entire chromosomes. nature.com/articles/s4147…
