Happy to meet @dionbenAGT, wheat breeder from @agtbreeding at #IWC2026 !
We collaborate with AGT on wheat powdery mildew resistance. As climate change increases PM pressure in Australia, developing resistant varieties is even more important.
Excited to support 🇦🇺 breeders!

METK🇪🇪 researchers and #IWC2026 participants, and I was just passing by😁
We published a new paper on the introgression of a new, rare HMW-GS allele Glu-A1t, associated with improved quality and increased protein content, into winter wheat.

Australian scientists and breeders invited us to participate in this work @MUniResearch @agtbreeding. I believe it will be of interest to European breeders as well and it may have practical benefits in improving European #wheat.

Do you know something about Estonia🇪🇪? We grow wheat there! What about quality of Estonian wheat?😉

Winter wheat be alive! 🙏
Such a delicate and such a strong plant. This is an inspiring example for all of us 💚

It rained a lot lately and winter wheat looks nice this winter. Some plants are exposed, but most plots are still protected from the elements by thick ice. Next time I'll bring my skates⛸️

I am happy to have taken part in @TheorApplGenet featured study, which showed effect of powdery mildew resistance QTL on chromosome 3A of wheat.
But the picture on the right looks like six-rowed barley to me 😋

How did the crown rust get its crown? 😉
Oat crown and stem rusts.

New paper about Payne score accuracy @CIMMYT
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
✔️Higher accuracy for:
Glu-A1 & D1 than B1
SDSS & alv. W than LF🍞(PS was based on SDSS😉)
✔️No full correlation between PS & quality
✔️No score for Glu-B1al (7OE 8) (maybe score is 4🤔)

This guy eats with such an appetite! Maybe rust is a really tasty thing. 🤔Like fish caviar (rye leaf rust).😁
The great video👏
