Yesterday, we had our post-GPZ conference BBQ to thank all the helpers that were involved in the GPZ conference 2024 in Geisenheim . Many thanks again to the plant breeding department at HochschuleGeisenheim ! Feeling really grateful & honored to have such a great team! 🎉🥳

Many congrats on this nice paper, Yichen!

It was great to catch up with Prof Kai Voss-Fels & Dr Peter Crisp in Germany last week and finalise plans for their PhD project on grapevine which is a partnership between UQ News, HochschuleGeisenheim & Wine Australia🍇

Beautiful diversity in our Riesling clone collection at Geisenheim University 🍇🧬 HochschuleGeisenheim

Um dem deutschen #Wein eine Zukunft zu geben, setzen Kai Voss-Fels et al. in Geisenheim auf die Struktur der Trauben. Das Ziel: Schädlingen und Klimakrise trotzen. Klappt’s nicht, hat Joachim Mueller-Jung erfahren, droht Klassikern wie dem Riesling eine Identitätskrise faz.net/aktuell/wissen…

Der Japankäfer frisst alle Pflanzen, sogar Tujahecken. In der Schweiz wird er nun mit aller Kraft bekämpft. Und in Deutschland? @pressefrey hat bei einem Pflanzenexperten des Julius Kühn-Instituts nachgefragt. faz.net/aktuell/wissen…

Registration open, for only 50€ you will meet top leading scientist from academia and private breeding industry covering topics from crop biodiversity, biostats, phenomic selection, breeding for novel traits up to future of plant based food. More info: breedingsymposium.uni-hohenheim.de/en

We have an AI/Data Sciences/Informatics based PhD oppertunity coming up working with my team within the International Barley Hub at James Hutton Institute in Dundee.

Was eine produktive und nachhaltige Landwirtschaft in Europa mit Hunger, Klimawandel und Schutz der Artenvielfalt im Rest der Welt zu tun hat, erläutere ich kurz im "Blick von Aussen" in top agrar 12/2024.

Very excited to travel to PAG32 soon & hear the latest about the incredible science happening in our field! 🌱🧬 Also thrilled that my team is contributing three exciting talks on genetics & genomics in grapevine & barley. Hoping to see many of you in San Diego soon! PAG-International Plant & Animal Genome Conference

Had a great time at the 32nd Plant & Animal Genome Conference in San Diego! 🌿🧬 Our team from HochschuleGeisenheim presented 3 talks & engaged with global researchers. Exciting innovations in plant & animal genomics! 🌍👩‍🔬 Managed to catch some beach sun too! 🌞 #PAG32 #PlantBreeding

One of the biggest myths about "Organic" food is that it’s more nutritious than conventional food. Here’s the truth: it’s not. Let’s break down the science behind this common misconception 🧵: 1/11
