LettuceKnow

Today we had our first meeting to discuss the writing of publications. PhDs, PostDocs, and PIs joining efforts to share great scientific results. Looking forward to reading those stories published! #lettucepublish

Many thanks to NWO @NWONieuws for a beautiful infographic about one of our research programs - LettuceKnow @LettuceKnow nwo.nl/en/cases/resea… @guidopmi @WURplant @UniLeidenNews @UUBeta @umcu

@LettuceKnow was well-represented at the annual meeting of @EpsGradSchool in Egmond aan Zee with talks by Siva, Jelmer and Francesca. #LettucePresent

Our second @LettuceKnow hackathon with more than 20 participants. This time analysis of complex RNA-seq data on the menu. Thanks for organizing @ini_banales and @bcjschimmel.

@bcjschimmel LettuceKnow PostDoc opened the @EPSGradSchool Theme2 symposium with a story on the secondary metabolite breakdown product 5M2NP and its dual role in herbivory resistance in maize. Great work from his research at @BernUni. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@dirkjan_vw showcased his work on lettuce pangenomics presence absence variation (PAVs) at the @EPS theme 4 genome biology symposium. #lettucepangenome #epstheme4 #genomebiology

The latest genome assembly of the lettuce wild relative L. virosa and comparative genomics reveal complex evolutionary patterns in Lactuca spp. and highlight its potential for lettuce breeding. Congratulations to everyone involved 👏 @dirkjan_vw @Way_Xiong academic.oup.com/g3journal/adva…

Many opportunities to build on collaborations between lettuce research projects 🥬 #leafyveg23 @michelmorelab

Richard Michelmore closes the conference with a keynote lecture on downy mildew variation and genomic resources in lettuce. Resources from his lab driving research on multiple diseases and plant breeding in the last decade. #leafyveg23 @michelmorelab @UCDavisPlants

@alan_pauls presents an approach to induce and score tipburn at early development stages in lettuce. His work will help to uncover the genetic background of such a complex trait. #lettuceburn #swisscheesemodel #leafyveg23

Enjoying the intro session of Eucarpia leafy greens meeting in Utrecht - antagonism between the phyllosphere resistobiome with downy mildew infection @LettuceKnow @UCDavisPlants

Ales Lebeda from Palacký University of Olomouc (CZ) gave an exciting talk about his love for lettuce and his quest for prickly and opium lettuces in Central Chile and Mendoza district (Argentina). #lettuceislife #Leafyveg23

@guidopmi opens the 10th Eucarpia leafy vegetable conference in Utrecht with a story on downy midews and disease resistance. In his own words, "stay calm and enjoy the conference!" #leafyveg23

NEWS - Denomination of new official downy mildew races Bl:38EU, Bl:39EU and Bl:40EU 🥬 Our crop specialists are happy to explain more about our lettuce varieties and their resistances #vegetablebreeding #freshlyforward Read more hubs.la/Q01Wtw020 #Sharingahealthyfuture

We had a great @LettuceKnow user meeting at @RijkZwaan. Happy to experience the smooth collaboration between academics and company researchers through the perspective program of @NWONieuws Applied and engineering sciences domain.

It was fantastic to see how @LettuceKnow members and students work together on large-scale RNAseq data to learn about lettuce immunity. Thanks to @UniUtrecht for the @github infrastructure that facilitates our team research and brings plant biology education to a new level.

Lettuce researchers visited our Fijnaart Research& Breeding location for the @LettuceKnow project! This #partnership between universities and breeding companies focuses on researching lettuce traits and increasing scientific knowledge for more robust crops #Sharingahealthyfuture

Excited to share our latest research on using phylogenomic analysis to explore gene evolution of crucial transcription factors and their impact on floral development in Asteraceae family species. #EvolutionaryBiology #DandelionSequencing #FloralDevelopment #Phylogenomics

With Helios @NPEC_nl it is now possible to automatically monitor the growth and development of more than a thousand plants. Researcher Bart Schimmel is putting Helios into operation with an experiment focused on the early detection of a plant pathogen. uu.nl/en/news/fully-…

Today was the first day of our biannual @LettuceKnow User Committee Meeting! A day full of many interesting updates and good discussions. The only downside was the rain. Thanks voor hosting @RijkZwaanNL #LettuceMeet
