@ajstein.bsky.social… #geneediting can enable faster & cheaper development of a wider variety of crop traits, also in specialty crops, potentially reducing development #costs by 40-85%, given the right regulatory environment.
@mobi-ugent.bsky.socialThe #MeioCOntrol consortium was at Open Breeding Days! Laura Strickx and Marit Krul from @laurenspauwels.bsky.social lab visited Bejo Zaden, Syngenta, and Hazera, exploring how collaboration between research and industry can drive crop innovation.
@ajstein.bsky.social… Fortifying maize, millet & sorghum could reach more people, but industrial fortification pathways do not yet exist.
>> #Biofortification, i.e. fortification of crops through #plantbreeding, could help.
@ashs-hort.bsky.socialClematis ‘Jadeite’ exhibits double, flat-spreading flowers with approximately 15 sepals and a flower diameter of about 12.5 cm. The flowering period extends from May to October. https://doi.org/10.21273/HORTSCI19589-26 #plantbreeding #clematis

My Luna rose pink hardy hibiscus or rose mallow in glorious time! Grafting my soft pink rose mallow onto the crimson red one n hopefully get this color later. I got time on my hands n glad that I'm math wizard! Ha.

@usyseth.bsky.social🌾🔬 Hotter, drier summers call for resilient crops. Bruno Studer explains how CRISPR and other genome editing tools can help accelerate the development of drought-tolerant crops and strengthen climate-resilient agriculture.

@jdieramon.bsky.social8/8 🌱 We combine phenotyping, tGBS, association analysis, gene expression data and KASP validation to dissect flowering time in chickpea—and translate genomic information into tools for breeding better-adapted cultivars.
@jdieramon.bsky.social🧵 An amazing work led by A. Carmona,together with our colleagues from IFAPA, N. Gutiérrez and J. Rubio, on how we can go from a complex agronomic trait like flowering time to genetic markers that breeders can actually use. 🌱🧬
