Enjoying hearing about both private and public sorghum pre-breeding and breeding @AustSummerGrain with talks from @SorgGuy and GenTech's breeder, highlighting the need for balancing time, effort and cost with risks relative to return on investment in the pre-breeding space.

Congratulations Dr Otwani @ajakudaniel on successfully completing your PhD! Really great work. It's been a pleasure to be part of your supervisory team. 🎉🥂

Great to be participating in the annual retreat for @CoEPlantSuccess at the beautiful Gold Coast. Looking forward to a day of fantastic science.

Working with the teff team at EIAR today on their white seeded product concept. White teff is highly valued in Ethiopia and the main ingredient in the Ethiopian staple injera. A great day interpreting a large 30 trial MET analysis with some promising potential new candidates!

Great day working with the EIAR sorghum team to interpret and use a 31 trial MET analysis for selection advancement decisions. Excellent interactive day, resulting in the identification of high performing candidate varieties for the dry lowlands. Great work sorghum team @qaafi

Which disease assessment time to use for selection decisions? Excellent discussions around turcicum leaf blight dedicated disease nurseries with the EIAR maize breeders and pathologists today. @gatesfoumdation @qaafi

Excellent discussions about the advantages of using multiple environment trial analysis to better sample the target population of environments with the EIAR maize team and the @QAAFI team to support improved selection advancement decisions in their breeding pipelines.

Very excited to be back in Ethiopia working with the Ethiopian Institute for Agricultural Research supporting their crop improvement programs to run their annual Product Advancement Meetings. First meeting is with the amazing maize team 🌽 . Funded by @gatesfoundation @QAAFI

Really enjoyed seeing some of the fruits of our amazing teams' labour. Looking forward to seeing more tomorrow!

Looking at the relationship between the force required to penetrate a sorghum stem and the likelihood of lodging in our @theGRDC lodging project in collaboration with QDPI and @PacificSeeds equipment developed by @SeanRMR

Also imaging stems to look at rind thickness

@Mahiiii95 looking cooler than he really feels today. Spraying sorghum to induce male sterility. @EmmaOmics

Wow! Congratulations @sandra_micallef . A fantastic achievement

Congratulations @pete_crisp ! Extremely well deserved

Congrats @pete_crisp, recipient of the 2024 @asps_ozplants Goldacre Award, sponsored by #FunctionalPlantBio 🌿 Peter is at the School of Agriculture and Food Sustainability at @UQscience. His research program is focused on crop functional genomics, epigenetics & biotechnology.

I'm looking for a new PhD student to work with industry to advance predictive breeding methods Project team includes myself, Dr @HannahMRobin and Dr @AllanRattey in partnership with @InterGrain1 ➡️bit.ly/3Vl7K27

Join my lab in applying population genomics, experimental genetics, and innovative plant breeding to dissect the genetic basis of resilience in future environments. You will join a wonderful team of researchers from the ARC training centre in predictive breeding. #adaptation #PhD

Great recognition for @UQ_News being named as one of the 15 'fast moving' research units, reflecting longevity and relevance of research outputs.
