#OrganicGrains #FieldDay @ucdavis by our SCOPE project students! 9-11am Fri June 3. RSVP by Monday May 30 at bit.ly/UCDOrganicGrai… @UCSmallGrains @ucdavisCAES #ucdavis #PlantSciences #FeedthePlanet #AgInnovation

Interplay of genotype, environment & management on #maltbarley: How do they impact storage proteins (hordeins) & starch conversion? Can we breed for more hordein vs total protein? Maany Ramanan @UCSmallGrains More: bit.ly/UCSmallGrains @chdiep @ucdavis #maltster #AgInnovation

Central Red #wheat developed by Dubcovsky Lab @ucdavis is a hard-red spring variety in the recommended #breadmaking quality group from @CAWheatComm. Yields BETTER than other varieties in the group. Seed available from Baglietto. #FeedthePlanet #AgInnovation #ucdavis @ucdavisCAES

Excellent @UCDavisPlants #smallgrains Field Day. Talks from @ucanr extension on management and @UCSmallGrains breeders on new varieties and current projects. #wheat #triticale #barley #oat @ucdavisCAES @CAWheatComm @giz_met Special thanks @AdmiralMaltings & @RuhstallerBeer
