Great story on a climate resilient heirloom corn. This corn was down to its last two cobs. Now it could help farmers grow food in the climate crisis cnn.com/2023/11/18/us/…

Please RT. U.S. National Science Foundation and NIFA is encouraging US researchers and partners to a collaborative funding opportunity with UK and Germany on future proofing plants and #crops to build climate resilience. The stage-1 submission deadline is February 6, 2024. new.nsf.gov/funding/opport…

Our #Chia genome publication came out today and Oregon State University made a press release on this important orphan and #superfood seed crop. It's the first plant genome that I know was analyzed for human health benefits. A milestone. shorturl.ac/chia @naithani_s OSU Ag Sciences

Reference genome of the nutrition-rich orphan crop chia (Salvia hispanica) and its implications for future breeding for improved yield, nutrition and factors contributing to human health associated traits. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Chia seeds aren’t just a superfood—researchers say they could help combat world hunger and climate change. trib.al/Z0MndQM

Researchers at Oregon State University say they have cracked the genetic code of the chia plant, revealing secrets that could lead to significant advancements in health and nutrition. vegnews.com/vegan-news/chi…

Sharing our recent publication on Transcriptional Modulation during Photomorphogenesis in Rice Seedlings mdpi.com/2911956 #mdpigenes via Genes MDPI Parul Gupta will be presenting this work at the upcoming #isrfg2024. Work was partly funded by the @nsf Botany & Plant Pathology #NSFstory

I am honored to attend the #IERFG2024 celebrating 20th anniversary of the completion of the rice genome. A work that was also recognized by the 43rd US President and the The White House in 2002. #rice

It was a pleasure visiting the University of Arkansas and Dale Bumpers Rice Research Center's rice field trials and plots in Stuttgart, Arkansas.
