Wrapping up Year 2 of #BESTCROP in Dundee! 🌾 Two inspiring days @JamesHuttonInst sharing progress on breeding barley that’s more productive, resilient & sustainable. Thanks to our hosts for great discussions and Scottish pints! 🍻 👉 bestcrop.eu #Scotland #Barley
Together with the @UniHannover and the @MPI_CE, Sara Leite Dias from the @LeibnizIPK has successfully elucidated the biosynthetic pathway of gramine. The study has now been awarded the Best Plant Science Publication Prize of the German Botanical Society. ➡️shorturl.at/6jPmy

This week, our partners from the @HHU_de presented @best_crop at the public science day! Check this out! 👇
Last week, #BESTCROP visited Balruddery Farm, a living lab of The James Hutton Institute, where innovative crops are tested to boost photosynthesis, resource use, and sustainable straw products. 🌱#BalrudderyFarm #JamesHuttonInstitute
Happy to share that two CCFI-affiliated researchers have published a new paper in @Nature that details the assembly of the first comprehensive genome map of Hordeum bulbosum, a wild relative of cultivated barley. Led by researchers from @LeibnizIPK, the researchers assembled a…
Wild plants can contribute valuable genes to their domesticated relatives. A research team led by the @LeibnizIPK constructed a pangenome of barley’s closest wild relative, Hordeum bulbosum. Results in @Nature. ➡️PR: tinyurl.com/45ysmkys ➡️Paper: tinyurl.com/msm4sudb
