Our little holiday from the socials has continued a little longer than expected. But the patient still has…a pulse…😑…

Worth giving a little bump to two papers recently appearing in @JXBot. Back-to-back, even! (thanks JXB). (doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erac107 and doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erac132)

Genetic analysis of early phenology in lentil identifies distinct loci controlling component traits

A gain-of-function variant at a conserved FTlocus confers the early phenology in lentil that is critical for adaptation to major production regions in Sout

HT also to Mark Chapman (@CUCsoton) for a nice summary, a generous endorsement, and some cham-pea-on pun-ishment in the title (doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erac170)

Two new PhD positions in #cropgenetics at the University of Tasmania! Part of a major program on #legume #flowering time funded by @theGRDC and aligned with ARC @CoEPlantSuccess . Details here (bit.ly/3yFH4y4 / bit.ly/3nEyqcN) Please RT! #chickpea #phenology

Because you care about nature, but have heard nothing about it this election campaign, we've written a report on the government's handling of the extinction crisis @BrenWintle @ICON_Science #auspol theconversation.com/fail-our… via @ConversationEDU

Fail: our report card on the government’s handling of Australia’s extinction crisis

The fate of nature underpins our economy and health. Yet in the election campaign to date, there’s been a deafening silence about it.

Save our species: The farmers who combine agriculture with conservation and reap the benefits  - ABC News abc.net.au/news/2022-04-22/s…

Greg knew there was a better use for some of his farmland. Now his conservation is paying off

More and more farmers are choosing to combine conservation with agriculture and the benefits are paying off.

Hoy es el día mundial del ajo. Y lo he celebrado asurcado. Feliz día a todos los que de alguna manera viven de él y a los que lo disfrutan.

Third, another freshly laid 🥚 in @JXBot, an analysis of the major flowering time and photoperiod response changes in pea since its domestication. Part 1 from Owen Williams’ PhD, with some more solid follow-up from others in the group 🙏. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erac132

The genetic architecture of flowering time changes in pea from wild to crop

Changes in flowering time following domestication of pea are attributable to four loci and include apparent gain-of-function variants of three florigen fam

Not too many genetic surprises with this latest one, showing just how sharp those pioneering pea geneticists Ian Murfet and Gerry Marx were! Also, yet again running into apparent gain-of function at a key #florigen locus FTa1 - becoming a theme in the temperate pulses 🧐
