Incredible work and great presentation on Exploiting Wheat Wild Relative Genomics by @SurbhiG6 from @Notts_WRC Thanks for sharing your experience and suggestions to approach people. #Genomics #PlantScience #CropImprovement #Wheatbreeding
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
Today I was lucky enough to attend an International Wheat Symposium at the @JohnInnesCentre 🌾 There were many inspiring talks and I learnt so much about disease resistance, biofortification, breeding.... And I loved being able to share my work on starch in wheat wild relatives
Good news: We just made a soft release at graingenes.org. Not all pages/services are working yet, but most of the stuff are there and we are working on restoring services fully. @WheatInitiative @AMBA_Barley @OatNewsletter
Suchismita Mondal and Margaret Krause and Stephen Baenziger @stephenbaen, Co-Chairs of our #BREEDING Expert Working Group invited Dr. Jessie Alt (Corteva) to discuss theoretical and practical implications on #wheat breeding! Join them on the 11th here: 🔗 buff.ly/7QsMbY7
🌾Agnes Szabo-Hever @NDSU will reveal groundbreaking insights into how susceptibility genes interact with necrotrophic effectors in hard red spring wheat and durum wheat. 📅 Don’t miss the webinar on 17 July 2025 at 11 AM EDT! 🔗 Sign up today: tinyurl.com/yh8bc3au
Good news! Although we are still working on wheat.pw.usda.gov, graingenes.org is now available for you to use.
🌾 @Wheatinitiative 's 2024 Annual Report is available! Discover our global efforts in sustainable wheat research, including programs and outcomes from our Expert Working Groups. 🔗 Read the full report here: wheatinitiative.org/annual-reports #WheatResearch #GlobalCollaboration
The research group “Plant Architecture” is interested in questions concerning how cereal inflorescences develop and how this contributes to yield formation. If you have a PhD in agriculture, biology or any related field, we have a job offer! ➡️Read more: tinyurl.com/4fw5rk5y
🌾 The Wheat Initiative is happy to be part and participate From Seed to Pasta 5! We are looking forward to connecting with the global durum wheat research community to advance resilient food systems. See you there! 🔗 fromseedtopasta.com #WheatInitiative #FSTP5 #DurumWheat
Finally: a durum wheat elite tolerant to Fusarium culmorum (Root Rot) 🍄🍄. The power 🔝of wild relatives with T. dicoccon packed in by Prof. S. "Xu" and "Jawahir" using T. Araraticum. The future for #dryland #farmers is bright😎 @CropTrust @a_bakinghouse @ICARDA @INRAMaroc
