Next up we have the RASE Science and Technology award. Sponsored by Future Biogas and won by Dr. Simon Griffiths, a world leading scientist who has made outstanding contributions to advancing wheat research, leading to numerous practical and innovative applications directly

Another fantastic International Wheat Congress opportunity! Don't miss our ECR Career Pathways event: crawfordfund.org/news/global-wh… Made possible thanks to The Crawford Fund RAID Network CSIRO Agrifood Innovation Institute Wheat Initiative Murdoch's Centre for Crop & Food Innovation & SABC & dedicated to the memory of Matthias Jost.

I'm very happy I had the opportunity to share my work on "Epigenetic regulation as a mechanism for gain of virulence in rust fungi" at the PPATH 2024. Thank you British Society for Plant Pathology for such a great conference. Diane Saunders

Thrilled to be contributing in the accomplishment of sequencing the megagenome of a plant living fossil, so emblematic for #Chile, #Araucaria araucana Project leaded by Rodrigo Hasbún Universidad de Concepción Access to our portal tomsbiolab.com/araucariadb/ Dicoex ProChile EmbaChileEspaña

Thanks for the really inspiring talk about the molecular response of wheat flowering to higher temperatures, Laura Dixon Tweeticum_aestivum! #IWC2024Perth

After 4 years, hundreds of starch extractions and many failed PCRs, my PhD thesis is finished. Now to wait for the viva...

Congratulations to the Early Career Researchers who have won the Presentation Award of Wheat Initiative for best student presentation! Oscar Carey-Fung from University of Melbourne and Katharina Jung University of Zurich! The award was presented by John Spink Teagasc, chair of our Board!

NEWS - Prestigious award recognises wheat researcher’s outstanding contribution to farming Congratulations to Dr Simon Griffiths, the 2024 winner of the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) The Royal Agricultural Society of England award for Science and Technology. okt.to/XQ94wb

1/4 - Check out our pre-print on population genomics in tef - an amazing African cereal with gluten-free grains, rich in fibre and nutrients and becoming a “superfood” globally. Pre-print 👉 tinyurl.com/48e773ut.

2/4 Tef also has the smallest cereal grains which can easily be lost during harvest. We found an interesting link btw grain size and colour, and found a transposable element insertion linked to difference in grain colour. Pre-print 👉 tinyurl.com/48e773ut.

3/4 We also found strong candidate genes for the striking diversity of tef’s panicle form (very loose to compact) and grain metabolites. Pre-print 👉 tinyurl.com/48e773ut.

These two absolute legends of John Innes Centre getting the recognition they so deserve. You could not imaging two more supportive and caring mentors who just happen to also be outstanding scientists than Andy and Nik

Congratulations Nikolai Adamski - @nikolaiadamski.bsky.social 💯🥳 thanks for the hours and hours of support and kindness. And for being a great role model on how to be a mentor 🐻🥳

We are looking for a PhD student to lead a project in the lab focused on the gene expression mechanisms supporting Rubisco production in plants 🌿🧬👇 Please share and contact me if you'd like to know more. biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/projects/visua…

1/2 - I'm proud to have my first first-author paper up on BioRxiv and submitted for review. It was an absolute pleasure working with oluwaseyi shorinola, Abel Gari, Ash_g, Cristobal Uauy, and a host of incredible researchers at Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research-EIAR. Pre-print: tinyurl.com/48e773ut

2/2 - Teff is an intriguing, nutritious crop with a powerful place in Ethiopian and Eritrean culture and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to work on it alongside my work on wheat. Please do have a read and learn a bit more about this beautiful plant!

1/9 I am excited to share our pre-print on spatial transcriptomics in wheat spikes in collaboration with Ashleigh Lister. Using MERFISH, we resolved the expression of 200 genes to cellular resolution. Check out the pre-print 👉tinyurl.com/c7t3kncf

8/9 For easy interaction with this data, we present wheat-spatial.com, an interactive web browser developed from the WebAtlas pipeline with the help of Rob Ellis at the JIC.

Check out this amazing thread by Katie Long on our latest work using spatial transcriptomics in wheat alongside fabulous colleagues Earlham Institute Ashleigh Lister Iain Macaulay.

Congratulations Katie Long for achieving this incredibly technically difficult result that advances our understanding so about inflorescence development enormously 💚🌾
