Here is our preprint on estimating realized genetic gain (RGG) for plant breeding programs. Key points: 1. A novel definition of RGG was proposed. 2. Estimation models were biased, thus 3. Multiple models with directional bias should be considered. @KaioOlimpio @drsinghak

Corn yield gains in the U.S. are no longer tied to higher plant densities. 🌽 Recent genetic progress is driven by increased yield per plant—not improved crowding tolerance—highlighting a clear decoupling between yield and plant density. Full article: doi.org/10.1016/j.fcr.…

Our work on the characterization of an effector protease from soybean rust is now in BioRxiv. A big shoutout to all our collaborators who were pivotal in the development of this cool story. @swhitham49 @BredowMelissa @RogerInnes1 @JustinWWalley @francescocay @_acmargets

Our new pre-print on the activity and functions of a candidate effector protease from soybean rust is out now in bioRxiv. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Looking forward to the upcoming new edition of Mrode's textbook! Out in September

Vg from genomic models on SNP marker genotypes is variance between SNP marker allele substitution effects multiplied by some constant. That’s not really genetic variance for a trait and hence “SNP heritability” is not really heritability. @epigenci 1/2

Taba is an amazing member of our plant breeding community. I am really happy for his recognition!

Aline S Chicowski and Ekkachai Khwanbua, both Ph.D. students under @swhitham49 were selected for the 2023 IS-MPMI Shimamoto Travel Award. This competitive award will help defray the costs of attending the 2023 IS-MPMI Congress in Providence, RI, USA. Congrats, Aline and Ekkachai!

Join us on March 27th to learn from Dr. Hung and Dr. Habier on genomic selection from the industry perspective! @NAPlantBreeders Join the meeting with the Zoom Meeting ID: 815 1436 4782 AND Passcode: 765684
