Great work from @xiangli_evo!
What makes a weed...well, a weed? That's the question that has #UMass researchers stumped. After years of study, they've discovered how #rice, a keystone crop, still behaves very much like a wild #plant. @CNS_UMass #agriculture #umassamherst

Congratulations, @xiangli_evo! Cool parallel evolution story, a shake-up of what we know about the loss and gain of seed shattering, and a nice UMass press release to boot!
I am thrilled to share our latest paper, exploring the evolution of seed shattering in cultivated and weedy rice from a morphological perspective. Thoroughly examining morphology can provide insights that genetics alone cannot easily offer. Read it! @JXBot

@TheMindHears Revisiting this awesome post by Andrew Mutter. Title notwithstanding, there is great information here for folks with all disabilities. And the US federal employees disability stats are so much better than in other fields! #DisabledInHigherEd

Shattering is such a consequential phenotype, but difficult to measure well and so much we don't yet know. Check out our review paper on seed shattering in rice!
Happy and excited to share that our review paper on seed shattering in rice is now out ! 🌾 🌾🌾 Grateful for the opportunity to contribute! The abscission zone is truly Amazing!!!
