Today we had our first meeting to discuss the writing of publications. PhDs, PostDocs, and PIs joining efforts to share great scientific results. Looking forward to reading those stories published! #lettucepublish

@LettuceKnow was well-represented at the annual meeting of @EpsGradSchool in Egmond aan Zee with talks by Siva, Jelmer and Francesca. #LettucePresent
Our second @LettuceKnow hackathon with more than 20 participants. This time analysis of complex RNA-seq data on the menu. Thanks for organizing @ini_banales and @bcjschimmel.
The latest genome assembly of the lettuce wild relative L. virosa and comparative genomics reveal complex evolutionary patterns in Lactuca spp. and highlight its potential for lettuce breeding. Congratulations to everyone involved 👏 @dirkjan_vw @Way_Xiong academic.oup.com/g3journal/a…
Many opportunities to build on collaborations between lettuce research projects 🥬 #leafyveg23 @michelmorelab
Richard Michelmore closes the conference with a keynote lecture on downy mildew variation and genomic resources in lettuce. Resources from his lab driving research on multiple diseases and plant breeding in the last decade.

Enjoying the intro session of Eucarpia leafy greens meeting in Utrecht - antagonism between the phyllosphere resistobiome with downy mildew infection @LettuceKnow @UCDavisPlants
Ales Lebeda from Palacký University of Olomouc (CZ) gave an exciting talk about his love for lettuce and his quest for prickly and opium lettuces in Central Chile and Mendoza district (Argentina). #lettuceislife #Leafyveg23

We had a great @LettuceKnow user meeting at @RijkZwaan. Happy to experience the smooth collaboration between academics and company researchers through the perspective program of @NWONieuws Applied and engineering sciences domain.
Lettuce researchers visited our Fijnaart Research& Breeding location for the @LettuceKnow project! This #partnership between universities and breeding companies focuses on researching lettuce traits and increasing scientific knowledge for more robust crops #Sharingahealthyfuture

It was fantastic to see how @LettuceKnow members and students work together on large-scale RNAseq data to learn about lettuce immunity. Thanks to @UniUtrecht for the @github infrastructure that facilitates our team research and brings plant biology education to a new level.

Excited to share our latest research on using phylogenomic analysis to explore gene evolution of crucial transcription factors and their impact on floral development in Asteraceae family species. #EvolutionaryBiology #DandelionSequencing #FloralDevelopment #Phylogenomics
New Research: Phylogenomic analysis provides insights into MADS-box and TCP gene diversification and floral development of the Asteraceae, supported by de novo genome and transcriptome sequences from dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) #PlantScience #PlantSci frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

With Helios @NPEC_nl it is now possible to automatically monitor the growth and development of more than a thousand plants. Researcher Bart Schimmel is putting Helios into operation with an experiment focused on the early detection of a plant pathogen.

Join the 10th #EUCARPIA Leafy Vegetable Conference @UniUtrecht! This is the place to discuss research in genomics, biotechnology, stress resilience and quality traits in this group of crops.
It will be a fun meeting with superb keynotes and @NPEC_nl

Is your research contributing to breeding leafy vegetables? Then join the 10th #EUCARPIA Leafy Vegetable International Conference in Utrecht, The Netherlands, August 28-31, 2023. At @UniUtrecht and co-organized by the @LettuceKnow team. #SaveTheDate uu.nl/en/research/leafy-vege…
On the 10th of May, Kiki Spaninks defended her thesis on the "Control of early plant development by light quality". Lettucecongratulate Kiki for this achievement and wish her the very best for her future works #drkiki #leidenuniversity #lettucedefence
Sarah gave a presentation about high-throughput phenotyping in LettuceKnow at the BioSB conference #LettucePresent #LettucePhenotype
Next up is @alan_pauls who gave an update on his work on tipburn in lettuce! Looking forward to hearing about upcoming findings! Good luck!
