🌻 The sunflower isn’t just a pretty face — it’s a genomic jungle. At the NAPB meeting, Loren Rieseberg of University of British Columbia revealed how massive chromosomal inversions in sunflowers are reshaping how we think about the limits of plant breeding. #NAPB25 🧬🌍

🚨#Articlealert By isolating N sources through the use of non-nodulating soybean genotypes, we developed - for the first time - a true critical N dilution curve for soybeans, following the methodology previously established for non-N-fixing crops. 🔗link.springer.com/article/10.100…

🌫️ Smoke & Canola🌫️ Wildfire smoke can stall canola growth by: • Blocking sunlight☁️= reduced photosynthesis • Increasing vapor-pressure deficit🌡️= plant stress • Triggering stomatal closure = slowed development 🔎 Watch for delayed maturity & slowed growth in smoky
