Cereals Event 2026 Day 2 is live! #cereals2026
Visit the International Barley Hub field plots! 🌾 Our 10am tours last around an hour, with plenty of time afterward to explore additional research areas, learn about ongoing projects, and speak with our staff and students about their expertise and experiences.
Van packed and heading to Cereals Event. See you at Stand 1032 on Wednesday and Thursday! Diddly Squat here we come! #cereals2026

Accelerating genetic gains in malting barley requires efficient and accurate evaluation of malt quality traits early in the breeding process. However, traditional micro-malting is limited by its hi...
Key message Using genome-wide association analysis in a barley germplasm panel, we identified root trait QTLs, domestication-driven morphological shifts, and candidate genes to guide breeding for impr...
Synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) could help plants withstand biotic stress and reduce the need for pesticides. Here, we constructed two defined SynC...
