Our wheat breeder, Dr Matt Kerton, gives us an insight into what he gets up to in the winter months.

There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now.
A dangerous and preventable situation.
Let me explain.

Thanks to everyone taking part this week’s ident. Congratulations to the 46% who chose the correct option. Image 3 was damage by the Rustic Moth.

植物は糖の量を手がかりに、成長やエネルギーの使い方を調整。糖を感知する仕組みとその情報を伝えるタンパク質を発見。植物の成長やストレスへの対応を左右する。糖を効率よく利用し、収穫量の多い作物を生み出す技術につながると期待される。Cell

Three varieties, three different characteristics, but one common goal! Delivering quality and constancy for growers.
Pictured here are Butterfly, Carrington and Reacher, showing the diversity within green pea genetics.
It's a great reminder that variety choice matters.

The British farming industry is in crisis. And shame on the successive governments who let this happen. National food security is one of the foundations of a strong society. Because ultimately, no farmers, no food.
Support British farmers. Our food security depends on them. 🚜
Interesting article on the implications of advances in breeding technology and the commercialisation of resultant new varieties. How to commercially reward the breeder introducing a useful characteristic into an already registered variety and the original breeder of that variety?
As genome editing advances, who owns the value of an improved variety? Marcel Bruins explores Essentially Derived Varieties and why plant breeders’ rights matter. #SeedSector2045 #PlantBreeding

The winter wheat disease nursery has established nicely here in East Cork.
Approximately 2500 new wheat lines are being compared for their resistance to disease, primarily Septoria tritici 🌾

Here's one for you #Whisky fans who like to know a bit more on the technical side of production. A look at the All Grain In (AIG) method. (Open Access paper).
Enjoy 😊🥃
Going all in pays off 🥃 All Grains In fermentation raised whisky wash ethanol vs filtered wort (8.18% vs 7.41% ABV for 100% malted barley), and boosted FAN. Rye-heavy grists look especially promising. Open access: doi.org/10.1080/03610470.202… #whisky #distilling

CPM feature: Data from a long-term tillage & traffic research project confirms that leaving soil undisturbed gives the greatest soil health benefits. We talk to the researcher who’s monitored soil fauna and carbon levels during the past 3 years.

Although “Beowulf” has been traditionally interpreted as meaning “bee-wolf” (a kenning for bears) or beado-wulf (“war-wolf”), philologists & mythologists suggest Beowulf’s name (& early lineage) may draw from the Anglo-Saxon barley god, Beowa…

Cheers @Morrighani for highlighting how Carlsberg-Britvic have destroyed our much loved British brewing heritage.🍻👍👏🤬
Great initiative from @niabgroup and just what @BBSRC should be funding. Mobilising useful traits from unadapted germplasm has been underfunded for far too long. Ideally, a long term publicly funded programme is needed to really benefit agriculture.
Niab will lead a new international wheat pre-breeding project to move promising genetic traits into elite European wheat lines, working with commercial breeders to accelerate variety development. #WheatBreeding #PlantBreeding
