It's been great to virtually host Alex Eve @amjeve.uk, from the Company of Biologists @biologists.bsky.social today at the RDP @rdplab.bsky.social for a wonderful webinar on scientific publishing and the different forms we scientists have to contribute to a fairer system 📣
The 🌽maize🌽 crew from @rdplab.bsky.social representing at the Maize Genetics Meeting in Köln 🇩🇪
Great discussions, inspiring science & valuable time with the international maize community.
Proud of this team and the contributions we’re making to advance maize reproduction 🌱
🌾 New in The Plant Genome:
Global public–private alliance unites to boost wheat floral biology research & enable cost-effective hybrid seed production.
🔬 Better pollination
🌱 Higher yields
🌍 Climate resilience

New pre-print from the team!
The manuscript is @emma-raven.bsky.social's PhD work showing that whether a leaf is a carbon sink or a carbon source influences how they execute immune responses.
Have a read!

Today we celebrate the women who feed the world. 🌾
Rural women are leaders in building sustainable, resilient food systems — often with fewer resources but endless determination
Happy International Day of Rural Women:

Excited to share the paper from my work in the Dean lab @johninnescentre.bsky.social out now in @cp-molcell.bsky.social. Huge thanks to all the co-authors - it was a great collaborative effort! Watch out for the associated cover artwork coming out next week 🎉 www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
This will be an intersting read for some of you!

Through 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 that can increase cross-fertilisation in self-pollinating wheat — paving the way for more effective hybrid seed production.
