We are thrilled to announce that our lab’s latest research, “Developmentally regulated genes drive phylogenomic splits in ovule evolution,” has been published in Nature Communications. By combining comparative genomics, developmental biology, and phylogenetic analyses, we reveal that changes in gene regulation can act as a powerful force shaping the diversity of ovules, one of the most critical reproductive structures in plants. Congratulations to the long-standing New York Plant Genomics Consortium for their success and hard work, and our PhD Student Veronica Sondervan! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65399-3

A new paper published by the Coruzzi Lab titled "Model-to-crop conserved NUE Regulons enhance machine learning predictions of nitrogen use efficiency" appears in a special focus issue of The Plant Cell, “Translational Research from Arabidopsis to Crop Plants and Beyond,” which recognizes the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Arabidopsis genome sequence. DOI: 10.1093/plcell/koaf093. https://academic.oup.com/plcell/article/37/5/koaf093/8129742 Congrats to Ji Huang and all authors on their tremendous work!

A new study published in Frontiers in Genetics with close collaborators at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences constructs bipartite networks to more accurately predict causality.

Bipartite networks represent causality better than simple networks: evidence, algorithms, and applications
