Many congratulations to Dr. Jessie Shadbolt! Her PhD work involved characterisation of the HMA gene family in Barley. Good luck and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

More Oregon Wolfe Barley growing for #BarleyiTAG project! Well done to @WebstersHigh School in Kirriemuir. DNA extraction and PCRs are underway. barleyhub.org/teaching-educa…

Dr Isabelle Colas highlights barley’s global importance and the key role of the IBH in advancing research. Her work helps keep IBH a vibrant, collaborative space where scientists, industry & stakeholders join forces to support barley’s future. youtube.com/watch?v=0Iikp_…

The UK potato industry is gathering today... Best of luck to our team who are up for a prize at the @BritishPotato_ Event 2025 in Harrogate! britishpotato.co.uk

A big thank you to @V_and_A and @dundeeuni for organising the 'Over the Garden Wall' event at the weekend, and to to those from the Hutton working on the Daffodil Project, Garden Power and the Commonwealth Potato Collection (CPC). Huge success!

All ready for @VADundee Garden exhibit! #daffdna #barleyitag

'Over the Garden Wall' is finally here! Hosted by the V&A Dundee, this unbelievable weekend of garden-themed talks and workshops starts tomorrow, Friday 31st October. Check out the full schedule here: vam.ac.uk/dundee/whatson…

What an amazing event going on in #Dundee this weekend... @V_and_A are hosting a series of talks, workshops and displays and we can't wait to be a part of it. Come and discover us at the Commonwealth potato, Daffodil project and Garden Power sections! vam.ac.uk/dundee/whatson…

RESEARCHERS from @JamesHuttonInst  and SASA, have discovered a new variant of potato leafroll virus is rapidly replacing the historic strain that has circulated in Scotland since at least 1989. britishpotato.co.uk #potatoindustry

Aphid transmission plays a key role in the spread of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) in potato crops. At the James Hutton Institute, we study this process under controlled conditions.

Not long to go until @V_and_A Dundee's 'Over the Garden Wall' free event hosted by @dundeeuni. Starting Friday 31st October, Hutton will be taking part in the Commonwealth Potato, Garden Power and Daffodil Project sections. Check the full schedule at Over the Garden Wall.

🥔 PCN = the biggest threat to UK potatoes. At #BP2025, Dr James A. Price (James Hutton Institute) will launch the PCN Action Scotland decision support system + live trial of the free software. Don’t miss this opportunity to see the future of PCN management in action.
