As it is such a quiet news day in the UK, seems like a good time to put this out... 🚨 Global wheat production can be doubled Great new study in Nature Food looking at the untapped genetic potential of wheat. rothamsted.ac.uk/news/global-wh…

Our CRISPR low asparagine wheat field trial was harvested last Friday. Hot work for the farm staff Rothamsted Research Sarah Raffan

Some welcome rain now coming to #Hertfordshire - but not before we managed to harvest our #CRISPR gene edited low asparagine wheat trial last week. Huge thanks to the farm team for their heroic heatwave efforts over the last month.

Many congratulations to our Regius Professor of Botany Ottoline Leyser on her receipt of the The Royal Society's 2023 Croonian Medal and Lecture! 🌿 Alison Smith Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) School of Biological Sciences Cambridge University UKRI CEO UK Research and Innovation plantsci.cam.ac.uk/news/professor…

On Wednesday this week, we continue our @COST_PlantEd WG1 Online Lecture Series about #CRISPR in #plants. This time we have speakers from IBMCP - Instituto de Biología Molecular y Celular and The Sainsbury Laboratory. Registration is still possible following this link: forms.gle/QR1i2EJio8MYh7…

Improving the safety of wheat grain through crop management strategies is being investigated as part of a research project that utilises an innovative piece of laboratory equipment 🔬 ▶️Read more here: ow.ly/GyiN50KWNoG #agritech #agriculture #agribusiness Rothamsted Research

A bit late but very happy that our year 2 CRISPR wheat field trial was drilled yesterday. Thanks to the farm team Rothamsted Research for getting the job done in the fog. Sarah Raffan

Finally setting up a clear pot experiment here at Salk Institute. Back to the origin! Trying to see the effect of mebendazole on wheat seminal root angle! Sarah Raffan

Results of our first year of field trialling low asparagine CRISPR wheat just published. Well done Sarah Raffan and everyone else involved, Rothamsted Research onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb…

It's #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience 👩‍🔬 The wonderful Dana Macgregor and Monique Smith tell us how their love of science began... #WomenInSTEM #WomenAndGirlsInScience

When you're revising for GCSEs, it might be easy to think that being "good at science" is just about knowing the right answer. Instead, Dana and Monique explain how science is all about asking questions, over and over... #WomenAndGirlsInScience #WomenInSTEM

The results of last year's field trial of our low asparagine gene edited wheat 🧬🌱have just been published... thetimes.co.uk/article/cancer…
