@AzTecFit @AFL Very well said, I completely agree with you!

“Largely out of our control”…. Except it was completely in your control and you chose to emotionally harm the family of a dual Premiership player of your club, whom has given great service and now wants to set up his family life elsewhere… You chose ego over looking after your own. It’s actually pathetic in reality. “Yeah, so we move on” No mate, this isn’t “business”, it wasn’t Adelaide making a play on one of your contracted players, then it’s business, this was a chance to do right by someone who has done right by you, but instead you’ve spat in his face and revealed a large character flaw.

Publication from PhD (@sbodes12 Lab) Mutations in HOMEOBOX DOMAIN-2 improve grain protein content in wheat without significantly affecting grain yield and senescence biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Exciting results for wheat breeding and grain quality research

@drtucks @kentonp_ag @UniofAdelaide @AgrifoodUoA @waiteresearch He could have won the award just for capturing a photo of you in the field! Great work, Jack

Proud supervisor moment - well done Jack Kelly!!! @kentonp_ag @UniofAdelaide @AgrifoodUoA @waiteresearch #barley #jexpbot

4/4
We invite researchers worldwide to join us in improving floral biology traits for hybrid wheat and call on funding agencies to support this global effort. Together, we can strengthen hybrid breeding capabilities and unlock wheat’s full yield potential. 🌾🌍

1/4 From an exciting industry–academic collaboration, our new Perspective sets the stage for the next phase of hybrid wheat research. We focus on floral biology traits to increase cross-fertilisation in self-pollinating wheat — paving the way for more effective seed production

It’s great to see this special edition in Science about plants and heat! I particularly like the article on the benefits that wild species could provide. @WheatInitiative

@JessHyles Is that 10 cm of snow?

Yep, it’s winter 🥶 #sharrowpastoral

I am so excited to share our report on the first-ever successful CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing in oats, now published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal. Kudos to the Singh Lab (@JaswinderMcGill). Honoured to have it as a part of my PhD research. Link: doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70…

📢New paper! Enhancing sugar signalling increased yields by up to 12% in wheat - an order of magnitude greater than increases currently being achieved through breeding @NatureBiotech @UniofOxford @RosFrankInst Full story 👇 rothamsted.ac.uk/news/sugar-sig…

A new paper published onine! Improved GO annotation of bread wheat will be useful, thanks to the first author Yasuyuki and the last Atsushi. The homeolog expression was studied using 25 Asian cultivars including Norin 61. @PCP_EIC @moko_13_ts @TTameshige doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc…

@Saunders_Lab Congratulations, Diane! What a wonderful achievement!

Deeply humbled and honoured to have received my OBE this week at the Investiture Ceremony at Windsor Castle. Thank you to all our incredible lab members (past & present), as well as our fantastic collaborators, supporters and colleagues who make our science possible!
