Pushing working from home to the next level, crossing for increasing spikelet number in wheat Cristobal Uauy could do with some LED lights next #lockdown #wheatbreeding

Great John Innes Centre blog about @Studio_Flozbox incredible talent; by day a wheat breeder by night an artist/scientific illustrator.

Breeding higher yielding wheat for more of the good stuff 🌾🍞

This is Triticum polonicum, a tetraploid wheat subspecies first described by Linnaeus in 1753 and which was instrumental in the study of quantitative variation by early geneticists such as Biffen. We recently cloned P1, the gene responsible for its striking glume morphology. 1/n

Huge shout out to Nikolai Adamski - @nikolaiadamski.bsky.social and James Simmonds who masterminded this project and have been steadily working on the genetics and all other aspects over the past 7 years. Incredible work by the team. Really proud. n=11

Ectopic Expression of Triticum polonicum VRT-A2 Underlies Elongated Glumes and Grains in Hexaploid Wheat in a Dosage-Dependent Manner #PlantSci Nikolai Adamski - @nikolaiadamski.bsky.social Cristobal Uauy doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

Delighted to share our pre-print describing trends from 15 years of wheat breeding in the UK. Thanks to the AHDB Cereals for making the trial data available. Great working on this with Cristobal Uauy James Simmonds Luzie Wingen and Keith Gardner Niab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to Nikolai Adamski - @nikolaiadamski.bsky.social and James Simmonds, our GENius of April. For 9 years research resulting in the recent Plant Cell publication of their cloning and characterisation of the Triticum polonicum P1 and for selflessly helping others.

~10 years from initial cross. 🥳

It turns out that FANCM promotes class I crossovers and suppresses class II crossovers in wheat. See our latest work nature.com/articles/s4146… University of Leicester Ian Henderson Cristobal Uauy

I am really excited to share our latest manuscript, bioRxiv biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We investigated the life and death of basal spikelets in wheat. Huge thanks to my supervisor Cristobal Uauy for the support and many discussions. We’d love to hear your feedback. (1/12)

That's my girl 😘

Mega day yesterday for our U15s, only losing to the Mavs U15 teams 💪🏻 Thank you to Mavericks NPL for hosting! 🙏🏻 Players Player - Tara 🙌🏻 Coach’s Player - Poppy 🙌🏻 ❤️🖤

Great work by James Simmonds Nikolai Adamski - @nikolaiadamski.bsky.social Andy Chen & Pam to sow our first transgene-free genome edited wheat field trial. We will test cis-regulatory edits on yield components. Science-based regulation to move research into field!
