Meiosis is the primary driver of genetic diversity. Join us on Thursday to hear from Stefan Heckmannn Leibniz IPK. His work focuses on altering the recombination landscape of barley to improve diversity. eventbrite.co.uk/e/ibh-seminar-…





Congratulations to Professor Robert Park from University of Sydney on being a finalist in the Universities Australia 2024 Shaping Australia Awards. Prof Park has been a Chief Investigator on several ARC-funded projects, pioneering innovative solutions in environmental engineering.

CCFI Director Rajeev Varshney FRS recently attended the launch of an Australia India Strategic Research Fund (AISRF) project, which he will serve as a coordinator and work with some of CCFI's longstanding collaborators, including ICRISAT , IARI Pusa New Delhi , and Indian Council of Agricultural Research..

Barley flowers work hard to stop seed genes from turning on too early! Ultimately this allows them to produce high-quality #grain that can be used to make #beer. The gene involved is called MADS31. We should be thankful that MADS31 exists. rdcu.be/ebl0M Nature Plants
