1/4 From an exciting industry–academic collaboration, our new Perspective sets the stage for the next phase of hybrid wheat research. We focus on floral biology traits to increase cross-fertilisation in self-pollinating wheat — paving the way for more effective seed production

We invite researchers worldwide to join us in improving floral biology traits for hybrid wheat and call on funding agencies to support this global effort. Together, we can strengthen hybrid breeding capabilities and unlock wheat’s full yield potential. 🌾🌍

It’s great to see this special edition in Science about plants and heat! I particularly like the article on the benefits that wild species could provide. @WheatInitiative
As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z

I am so excited to share our report on the first-ever successful CRISPR/Cas9-based gene-editing in oats, now published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal. Kudos to the Singh Lab (@JaswinderMcGill). Honoured to have it as a part of my PhD research. Link: doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70146

📢New paper! Enhancing sugar signalling increased yields by up to 12% in wheat - an order of magnitude greater than increases currently being achieved through breeding @NatureBiotech @UniofOxford @RosFrankInst Full story 👇 rothamsted.ac.uk/news/sugar-…

A new paper published onine! Improved GO annotation of bread wheat will be useful, thanks to the first author Yasuyuki and the last Atsushi. The homeolog expression was studied using 25 Asian cultivars including Norin 61. @PCP_EIC @moko_13_ts @TTameshige doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pcaf011

We’re so grateful for GRDC’s support for this project. It’s been one of my long term goals to improve thermal resilience in wheat. Great collaboration with @hikemaydon and @rameshsunita39

🌡️ Temps are high this week & we know heat can be a problem for crops. To help @sbodes12 @UniofAdelaide is leading work to investigate 3 biochemical processes in wheat for new heat tolerance traits. The aim is to provide wheat breeders with tools to select for more heat-tolerant wheat. 👉 bit.ly/3AVR8ag 📷 Sue Knights
