👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimage…

We are looking for a molecular plant pathologist to join a BBSRC-NSF/BIO 3 year project to work on cereal rusts effectoromics - position based @niabgroup in Cambridge UK with links to Brian Steffenson @UMNPlantPath & @CSIRO @Figueroa_MM & Peter Dodds niab.com/niab_job_info/…

The first pod in our crossing program to introduce disease resistance from wild hybrid Phaseolus spp. is finally starting to mature! Find out more about the project ➡️ ow.ly/vtWc50I1jRM #hybridbeans

Fantastic to see the #hybridbeans for our project being grown in CIAT's mesh houses @niabgroup @BiovIntCIAT_eng

Some #NIAB staff are currently in Colombia, they've seen the fantastic new genebank building under construction @BiovIntCIAT_eng. It will home collections of cassava, Phaseolus bean and many forage species. For more info on on the project see: ow.ly/Mdat50ysgp3 #hybridbeans

Smooth taste for the plant – based milk prototypes produced with the Fava Bean ingredient – one clear output of FAVULEUX project. Bit.ly/3aa11Pm @EIT_Food #plantprotein #faba #bean #SustainableAgriculture #EITfood #FAVULEUXproject @plantsci

Selecting Fava Bean varieties with higher protein content and improved quality is the first step to promote this crop as a new source of plant based proteins. Bit.ly/3aa11Pm @EIT_Food #plantprotein #faba #bean #SustainableAgriculture #EITfood #FAVULEUXproject @plantsci

Rising #populations mean that we’ll need more #food. Can we make flowers better at being pollinated, to help solve the decline in pollinating #insects? @plantsci @EIT_Food youtu.be/u9dZQnreejM

Productivity, size morphology & seed composition are key criteria to convince farmers to grow Fava Beans & develop the supply chain for food applications. More: bit.ly/3aa11Pm bit.ly/2ToVtdK #plantprotein #faba #bean #SustainableAgriculture #EITfood @EIT_Food
