It is time for #macadamia.. The #tissueculture developments neena mitter lab by our energetic postdoc Albert Chern Sun Wong Watch this space. Alice Hayward Please come talk to us at #UQ @TropAg2022 #Brisbane #Australia

Excited to share my experience on working in tissue culture of macadamia, and hopefully to do some knowledge exchange. #TropAg2022

Seed storage proteins - it's complicated. Sorghums with no beta-kafirin are more digestible. CRISPR KOs of beta-kafirin not so much. Why? Because there's more gamma-kafirin to compensate. Out now in Planta rdcu.be/c1pTm Karen Massel Ben Schulz Jessica Hintzsche Jemma Restall
