Our recent publication in @plantgenome focuses on improving the end qualities (milling, appearance, cooking, and eating) of rice by incorporating marker information from GWAS and utilizing secondary traits in genomic selection. @jdarbelaez doi.org/10.1002/tpg2.7…

Another year, another exciting season: it’s crossing time. #PlantBreeding #SmallGrains #Oats

Rapid generation advancement significantly accelerates the breeding cycle by reducing the time required to develop homozygous lines. We have been using Single-Seed-SpeedBulk technique in our program. These F3 bulks will be harvested and planted in field in few weeks. #Oat

@anjaanmaya @DeSolti @big_yaan @OiiPriye @Beepuluv sir would have an idea.

The #Oat Newsletter has been updated. oatnews.org/node/1368 The newsletter came into being 75 years ago! 🥳 #oats

Read more about our latest publication on @plantgenome on how we are using genomic techniques like genomic selection to improve the end quality traits in small grains like rice and oats.

Some shots of our Small Grains field day today. We took a group of participants to 4 different fields and talked about wheat disease control, variety development and selection, and oat/pea intercropping research. Its always fun to show and tell. #wheat #oat

Register and join us tomorrow for our Small Grains Field Day.

Our Small Grains Field Day is this Friday June 6th. We will be covering disease management and variety development and selection. Follow this link to find out more details and to register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Windy, yet a beautiful day to be out phenotyping our early generation lines. #PlantBreeding #Oat #SmallGrains

Field Day Announcement: June 6th at The University of Illinois South Farms Use the link to get more information and to register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Another opportunity to learn and enjoy small grains in Illinois. @RiggsBeerCo At this event we will show participants 18 demo plots of different small grains including wheat, barley, triticale, and Kernza. There will be plenty of time for questions and camaraderie.

Today is the last day to submit an abstract for this year's Science and Spirits.
