This week!!! New webinar of our Expert Working Group on #wheat #pathogens will be on February 22nd! Tune in here: 👇🌾👇 wheatinitiative.org/new-events/bre…… Reem Aboukhaddour KC 👨‍🔬🌾🍄🇦🇺 Brent McCallum

This might be an interesting read for some of you! Combined GWAS and eGWAS reveals the #genetic basis underlying #drought tolerance in #emmer #wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) 👇🌾👇 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Major QTL for falling number trait in common wheat found. rdcu.be/dBzUQ

Today it was time to count #goutfly eggs in a subset of genotypes of the #CResWheat panel. Easy to spot but a pain to count. 😅

Cultivar matters - lajikkeella on väliä leivonnassakin! Toinen kohoaa paremmin kuin toinen. Kasvinjalostuksen taikaa ja vahvaa osaamista 🌾 CResWheat hankekokous #Lantmannen Svalövissä. Mukana myös Boreal Luonnonvarakeskus

Exciting week as all 11 project partners gathered to review results and plan future activities. We kicked off with an enlightening lab tour at @Lantmannen, exploring their climate chambers, followed by the #CResWheat field trial 🌾#Nordic #Baltic #Collaboration #SpringWheat

Beautiful morning in the #CResWheat field searching for gout fly pupae. Some #stemrust was also spotted. #diseasenursery #nordic #trial

Today, #CResWheat partners explored #R and #RMarkdown in a hybrid workshop led by Ronja Wonneberger. These tools streamline data analysis and create intuitive reports, enhancing efficiency in handling our large phenotypic datasets-a great step forward!

🌱 We look forward to seeing you at the #Nordic Conference on #GeneticResources organised by NordGen ! 📅 Last day to register: December 10 🔗 conference.nordgen.org

For students interested in evolution & DNA sequence variation: At Stockholm University we are offering a Masters programme in Evolutionary Genomics from fall 2025. Application deadline soon - Jan 15, 2025! su.se/english/search… #evolution #genomics #masters #HigherEd

Don´t miss this opportunity!

The WI announces the passing of Leonardo Crespo Herrera. Leo joined as Chair of our Pests EWG, he also contributed to developing the WATCH-A program. His knowledge and passion will be greatly missed. The WI honors his contribution to our community. buff.ly/Lwi2jEH

🥔🍓🌾 "Sow" many benefits from collaboration! From disease-resistant berries to climate-resilient wheat, the Nordic PPP for pre-breeding is driving innovation in plant breeding. Discover how four projects (2024-2026) are shaping the future of Nordic agriculture 🌍🌱 ➡️

🚨 Yellow rust virulence to Yr15 has been confirmed in multiple regions across continental Europe — raising global concern. This key resistance gene is widely used in commercial wheat, and its effectiveness is now in jeopardy. 🔗 agro.au.dk/forskning/inte…

Great two days with #CResWheat partners at NMBU 🇳🇴! Field visits to drought, waterlogging & PHS trials—plus a surprise sighting of gout fly (Chlorops pumilionis) eggs 🪰. Thanks to NMBU & Graminor for hosting! #wheatresearch #plantpathology #climateresilience #cereals

Peak season in the field! 🌾 Exciting activities are underway in the CResWheat project with field trials and data collection to strengthen resistance against the #goutfly. Join us on the journey! 🪰

Time to celebrate 🎉The first paper from the CResWheat project is now published! Great work by Ronja Wonneberger et al!

Exciting news in wheat science! A new study in Nature Communications presents the first wheat pan-transcriptome: uncovering hidden diversity across modern wheat lines 🌾 Congrats to Earlham Institute & Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich for this major advance! buff.ly/XEQlCnT #WheatConnect
