Biologist of plants and microorganisms, Professor at UC Davis https://t.co/4sVsD7vcmN - Moved to https://t.co/E59b19LAI5
Davis, CA
Joined March 2011
Some months later, the work is now published @natcomms -
New preprint from the lab describing the conservation of the grape sex determining region (SDR) across angiosperm genomes and detailed history within Vitaceae leading to dioecy in Vitis and Muscadinia. Collaboration with @shiversherlock.

Fresh from the lab 🍇🧬: We describe long-term conservation of haplotype-specific methylation patterns in clonal lineages, resolving mapping bias, collapsed haplotypes, and structural variation using a novel phased, graph-based approach.

Epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, regulate transcription and influence key biological traits. While many efforts were made to understand their stability in annual crops, their...

Our results support a model where, in an ancestor of Vitis and Muscadinia, mutations within a highly conserved region associated with flowering in angiosperms led to the emergence of dioecy in this lineage

Promoter variations in VviYABBY3 and expression profile in flowers suggest its role as a female suppressor in muscadines, similar to Vitis.

Unlike in Tetrastigma, in Muscadines flower sex is controlled by the same SDR as in Vitis with highly conserved boundaries and the same sex candidate genes

Whole genome sequencing and phasing of the SDR in Vitaceae show high gene content conservation in the family with size variations due to repetitive elements.

Dioecy, defined by the presence of either female or male flowers on separate individual plants, is rare in angiosperms. However, it has independently evolved multiple times from hermaphroditic...
