@KathyDibley Fantastic news!!! Very glad you have the system working.

Productive day assessing our first batch of #graftedwheat Kudos to @greggiereeves and coauthors for developing this fantastic technique. Hoping to develop enough plants for a micro field trial!

@Jinlei_Liu1993 @jmhibber The biopsy punches can be cleaned with ethanol and reautoclaved. I find that a single biopsy punches can perform at least 100 grafts before it goes dull. You can resharpen them if you have the right tools. The punches are only a few USD each.

@greggiereeves @jmhibber Greg, thank u so much. I readily find similar ones... Yeah! The biospy is one-off or reusable？ Actually the biospy is expensive. Please tell me how to sterilize the biospy. Thanks a lot.

I’m pleased to present my latest work on methods that solves monocot grafting which has been a problem lasting many thousands of years! Thanks everybody for all your helping getting this tremendous work done! nature.com/articles/s4158…

@Jinlei_Liu1993 @jmhibber No problem! You can get them from Kai medical supplies kai-europe.com/medical/biopsi… Good luck!

@greggiereeves @jmhibber Congratulations！Really fantastic discovery. I failed to buy a biopsy needle. And I have tried to grind some, but it seemed not okay. Can you share the Amazon link if there is with me？😳

@greggiereeves is the first I've ever seen published on nature who shared his work. Not that there isn't others I'm sure he's just the first. Incredible to see science show it's work. Thanks Gregg, gives hope to us Gregg's. I'm a Gregg as well. github.com/GregReeves/Ree…

Curious to know about @greggiereeves @anoop333pathi @Thepallavisingh and @jmhibber’s hard graft. Tune into @BBCLookEast tonight.

Tune into @BBCLookEast tonight from 18.30 📺 to see @jmhibber and members of our Molecular Physiology Group 🥼 discuss how they developed a novel way to graft seed tissue 🌱 and how this may protect food security by improving crop plants' disease resistance or stress tolerance 🍌

Very honoured to be interviewed about monocot grafting by Bryan Crump on Radio New Zealand this week. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

Here is a great commentary highlighting our work nature.com/articles/d4158…

Here is a picture of a grafted cake to commemorate @greggiereeves @Thepallavisingh @jmhibber’s work @plantsci on Monocot grafting nature.com/articles/s4158…

A hard graft problem solved for key global food crops nature.com/articles/d4158… Amazing to see @greggiereeves @anoop333pathi @jmhibber latest work on monocot grafting @plantsci covered in @Nature News and Views

'We just achieved something everyone said was impossible' celebrates our @jmhibber following the first ever successful #grafting of a #monocot 🌱 His group's new technique means crops like #bananas could now be made disease resistant 🍌 Read more 👉bit.ly/32QAjfO

Monocot plants (grasses) couldn’t be grafted - until now. New approach using parts from freshly germinated seeds has been developed for all classes of monocots, wheat, rice, corn, sorghum, banana, date palm…very interesting. (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…)

Challenging the very foundations of #Botany ..And How! Two years ago, during the @plantsci annual #ResearchDay, this work on #MonocotGrafting was first presented to the Dept All I could think was: OMG Super Wow! Congratulations @greggiereeves @Thepallavisingh @anoop333pathi

Blast from the past: love this picture of Dr Greg Reeves @greggiereeves from the early days of monocot grafting (circa June 2015) looking at first flow cytometry results on grafted cereals #Eurekamoments Read the paper @Nature here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Monocots graft. May be ancestral character of all vascular plants. Useful for discovery science and possibly improving perennial monocot crops. @plantsci @Thepallavisingh @greggiereeves Monocotyledonous plants graft at the embryonic root–shoot interface disq.us/t/43tb80r

Our latest summarises attempts to combine C3 and C4 genomes to generate variation. And ideas about what could be learned from analysis of intraspecific variation in C4 traits. Using breeding and quantitative genetics to understand the C4 pathway academic.oup.com/jxb/advance-ar…

@Sealdiver can you recommend any good books about grey seals? Really keen to know more about their habits, biology, etc. I prefer more technical/science related. Any ideas would be great!
