As we release the protocols we countdown for #IWC2024Perth
🌾 5 weeks left!
To the wheat and plant sciences community: We want to share across the coming weeks our day-to-day lab protocols, via @protocolsIO (open access, no peer review).
First release is: "How to grow wheat" dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocol…
Feedback is welcomed and greatly appreciated! 💬

The first italian GE trial has been destroyed by "ecoterrorist" last night.
Full support to @vittoriabr and her collegues.
Don't give up!

Hi everyone! 🍃
Isabel Faci here @ifacisabel - excited to take over this account for 3 weeks. I'm a third year PhD student in Cristobal Uauy's lab at the @JohnInnesCentre, where I study photoperiod and temperature interactions and their effects on wheat development. (1/2)
