Great start to the newly funded BFF-AFIRMS, computing ecosystem and fingerprinting platforms for Sw & Pl for AB's tree improvement programs. 2 days of talks and extension has brought the community together. Thank you to all participants and funders!

From 2018-20, 6 million hectares of forest/year were cleared for commodity production. This needs to decrease by 1.2 mil ha/year (20% compared to 2021) through 2025 to reach the zero commodity-driven deforestation target. ➡️ow.ly/UKCj50LjArB #COP27 #GlobalForestAssessment

1/ You’ve sequenced your samples and identified variants. Great! 🙌 Now, here's how you can use @ensembl to find out the effect of your variants on #protein structures and interactions. A thread...🧵 #genomics #bioinformatics #tweetorial #Ensembltraining 🧬

A misleading paper in @ScienceMagazine just came out talking about how a single gene can increase rice yield by 41-68%. As a (wanna-be) plant breeder, I’m here to tell you why this study is misleading, and we can’t “solve” yield through single genes 🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

At Cherokee, OK wheat tour, @OSU_smallgrains describes Butler’s Gold and Short-season wheat, which is like taking GrazenGrain wheat and turning it inside-out. Soil moisture in February-March will be critical for spring tillering and success of the genetics.

Plant late, finish early. Flip the script of GrazenGrain. Stay tuned.
Replying to @OSU_smallgrains
@OSU_smallgrains I checked some production fields on the way back today. I’m telling you 14124-2 gets me as pumped as Hubbard-Wallace returning this fall. This is a short season exp in @osuwit SR class. I planted in early Dec.
