🌾#CIMMYT’s demonstration plots in #Uganda are driving change as farmers adopt resilient, drought-tolerant crops like groundnut, sorghum, and finger millet. These efforts boost #foodsecurity, foster sustainability, and build a resilient future🌍➡️ bit.ly/41Fi1tM

Post Doc Fellow @nickfradgley has done amazing work since joining @CSIRO a little over a year ago. Prediction of genotype x environment interactions to target wheat genetics for optimal crop performance now & for the future @caigeproject @CIMMYT #futurecrops 👏🌾
Thank you @JessHyles. Excited to be contributing to such an important area of research under the guidance of great minds, @BotanicGeek, @AlisonRBentley @JessHyles & @GMEstavillo. Looking forward to where this journey takes us!
@EsimuA is exploring the roles of wheat aquaporins in response to drought for a @PlantSci_ANU PhD. Great fundamental research with path to impact in collaboration with @CSIRO. #OzWheat is in great hands!

📢 Calling all barley growers in NSW & Victoria 🇦🇺
I’m looking for plots &/or paddocks of barley to test out some non-destructive phenotyping methods this season. If you’re open to a research collaboration to help develop #betterbarley please let me know!
RTs much appreciated! 💚

My big dream as a plant biologist is one day we can take any plants from a garden or natural habitat and turn them into model organisms to study whatever unique biological phenomena they might have. I think this is possible within my lifetime. 🧵1/n

As part of our new collaboration with the @ourANU node of @AustPlantPhenom we’re testing wheat root responses under a range of abiotic stresses using newly arrived APPF rhizoboxes.
Looking forward to characterising what’s happening below the surface! @ANUAgrifood @EsimuA

So, what do Plant Breeders do?
It's not just the walking round fields, assessing plants, and making crosses...
