2/2 Seven years in the making! Thanks to everyone involved and to the Laboratory of Genome Biology at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań.
Special thanks to @Piotraz1 for his guidance and trust, and to NCN for funding this work:

1/2 My very first post on X—and what better occasion than the publication of our paper in @NaturePlants! 🌱
We identify SNI1 as the first plant gene linking temperature to meiotic recombination, generating genetic diversity that may help plants adapt.

📣 Our paper on ATR kinase in Arabidopsis meiosis is now online at @ThePlantCell ‼️ In _atr_ mutants, DSB levels remain stable, and crossover pathway choice is unaffected, but crossovers shift from pericentromeres to chromosome arms 😎

Our new paper compares meiosis in natural and neo allopolyploid Arabidopsis suecica. Homoeologous crossovers are 20-fold more frequent in first generation polyploids and show a strong bias toward chromosome ends. #meiosis #polyploid @CNibau @ibers_aber bit.ly/4dZW7F0

I am extremely happy to share that I was awarded the Sonatina grant to explore the meiotic recombination in pericentromeres 🥳 🥳 The project is soooo exciting that it deserved to be the FIRST on the ranking list!
35 młodych naukowczyń i naukowców już niedługo rozpocznie realizację projektów badawczych dzięki finansowaniu z #NCN.
Granty przeznaczą na badania, zatrudnienie w polskich jednostkach i staże zagraniczne.
