Adrien HeymansThrilled to share our latest preprint: "Evidence of Root Anatomy Driving Local Adaptation in Mexican Maize" 🌽 🍿
Amazing job done by Chloee McLaughlin https://chloeemclaughlin.wordpress.com/, and the team !
📊 Key Findings:
Traits favoring reduced axial conductance found in cooler, drier highland areas.
🌐 Implications:
Candidate genes identified linking root anatomy and environmental variation.

CHLOEE McLAUGHLIN PhD Candidate | Local Adaptation | Conservation Biology I am a Plant Biology PhD candidate at Penn State University-based in Ruairidh Sawers and Jesse Lasky's labs. My research interests broadly relate to investigating the mechanisms by which plant biodiversity arises, is maintained, and how it can be leveraged for the future of conservation…
