I’m pleased to share our recent manuscript based on my MSc project John Innes Centre in wheat spike development. We found a new allele of an APETALA2-like gene with major effects on spike morphology. doi.org/10.1007/s00122… Line N67 ‘normal’ spike vs ANK-15 compact spike: (1/8)

#PAG31 is a wrap for the Faris Lab. Presented multiple talks and posters on genetics of tan spot, septoria nodorum, BLS, and yield. We are excited and energized to get back to work and move the science forward! Pooja Kumari Tiana Roth Krishna Acharya, PhD

Few had the depth of understanding of #wheat cytogenetics and the talent for manipulating wheat chromosomes that Bernd had. It was a great privilege and a pleasure to have known and worked with him.

This is a great opportunity for a young or senior cereals pathologist to join a great team!

Call for papers! Be included in the upcoming special MPMI Issue: “Fine Grain: Molecular, Cellular and Genomic Details of Cereal Crop Diseases.” View the issue scope, meet the expert editor team leading the effort, and submit your paper today: bit.ly/3Tu99BP

Cereal crop diseases challenge global food security. With this focus issue, MPMI seeks to draw together, through reviews and original research articles, the contemporary developments in understanding staple cereal crops and their pathogens. Learn more 🌾 bit.ly/mpmifinegrain

A small fern found on just a few Pacific islands has more than 100 metres of DNA in every cell, giving it the largest genome of any organism we know of. newscientist.com/article/243354…

That is one huge genome. 10x the size of hexaploid wheat!

To the wheat and plant sciences community: We want to share across the coming weeks our day-to-day lab protocols, via protocols.io (open access, no peer review). First release is: "How to grow wheat" dx.doi.org/10.17504/proto… Feedback is welcomed and greatly appreciated! 💬

Proud of this one from my postdoc Sudeshi Seneviratne. Extensive characterization of the Snn1 susceptibility gene in #wheat and development of highly effective markers for breeding. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…

Ladies & Gentlemen, we present to you the largest single trunk live oak in the whole universe 😮🌳 The canopy covers a whole acre, & the tree lives in Iron City, Georgia. Which of course didn’t exist when the tree germinated, & nor did the US

Congrats to Krishna Acharya, PhD on leading this pioneering research to identify and map robust resistance QTLs for bacterial leaf streak in wheat. Impactful research needed for wheat improvement, especially in the Upper Great Plains.

Thrilled to share our work on the putative neofunctionalization of an EXO70 clade unique to grasses and grass-like species 🌾! (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Honored to present my work on wheat susceptibility to tan spot at the #IWGSC workshop wheatgenome during #PAG32. A big thank you to IWGSC organizers for the opportunity and to everyone who attended. Looking forward to more great discussions!

Always a fun to see old friends and colleagues at #PAG32, especially when it’s your PhD adviser. Great to catch up with Bikram Gill again! #legend #wheat #Genetics
