Such a wide array of assays, tools & techniques being developed & used in the @OilseedRachel lab to understand interactions between OSR & cabbage stem flea beetle. These are crucial resources for the industry & the resulting insights will feed into IPM measures on-farm.

Is it time for durum to have more space in the UK wheat spotlight? 🍝🌾 @JohnInnesCentre is getting ahead of the curve and helping support the sector by screening material from the Watkins collection and introducing it into elite material. Watch out for Norfolk pasta!

Onto the pea cage! @JohnInnesCentre is exploring the rich genetic variation in its 3.5K germplasm collection with a specific interest for nutrient content (protein, starch, oligosaccharides) & diseases such as downy mildew. Huge screening effort with 750 sequenced so far.

1st stop at the @JohnInnesCentre breeders day: genome editing! From pod shedding in OSR to grain size variation in wheat & enhanced vit D in tomatoes, GE has a lot of potential. Also important in the discussion is public awareness & working closely with regulators.
