Excellent keynote talk by Yuling Bai from Plantbreeding WUR Wageningen U&R on breeding for resistance to (a)biotic stresses using S genes at the #EUCARPIA #Capsicum and #eggplant Meeting in Avignon. New approaches and opportunities for developing new resistant cultivars.





Great congrats to Pablo González-Suárez for winning the poster prize The Genetics Society . We’re so proud of you!


Our first keynote speaker is Laura Dixon Laura Dixon Tweeticum_aestivum @ScienceLeeds We hear her Rank Prize Rank Prize ECR excellence lecture– “Understanding cereal floral regulation for a changing climate”. Congratulations Laura! 👏👏👏


My lovely PI Laura Laura Dixon gave an amazing talk “Understanding cereal floral regulation for changing climate “ in Monogram Network, summarising part of our group works. And congrats on receiving the “Rank Prize ECR excellence lecture”!



🚨Delighted to publish the draft schedule for AAB President's meeting on 'Cereal Quality for sustainable production and human health'. Poster abstract submission open until July 31st. 📅Sept 17-18 Uni of Birmingham and online 🕸️cvent.me/WPvk5G


Start of the EUCARPIA Gen. Congress in Leipzig! 245 participants will discuss global challenges for crop improvement this week. A. Börner and U. Lohwasser (Leibniz IPK) are responsible for the organisation of the event, which is supported by The Crop Trust, KWS Group & greenhub.


First time attending #EUCARPIA Congress in #Leipzig organised by Leibniz IPK The Crop Trust . It was a great chance meeting and talking to breeders and researchers, and discussing challenges in different crops’ improvement. A lot of great talks and great people!


AAB President's meeting kicks off with current president Mike Gooding IBERS - Aber setting the scene about our current overwhelming reliance on cereals! Plz join us as an online delegate. Free for AAB member ECPs. 🕸️cvent.me/WPvk5G

Day 2 of AAB President's meeting on Cereal Quality kicked off with an excellent talk from Nigel Halford Nigel Halford on acrylamide formation in wheat and how #geneediting can be used to reduce these levels. Paper in Plant Biotechnology Journal -> onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb…



Great talk by Laura Dixon Chair of our Expert Working Group on the Adaptation of Wheat to Abiotic Stress at the plenary session at #IWC2024Perth!


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


Some cracking talks on improving wheat abiotic stress tolerance during today’s morning session #IWC2024Perth! Hats off to Laura Dixon Tweeticum_aestivum & Brenton Leske for their work to develop innovative testing methods & new insights to dissect wheat temperature interactions 🌾 ❄️
