What if we could breed crops for entire farming SYSTEMS, not just individual performance? Our new preprint explores "legacy effects" - how one crop's genetics influence the next crop in rotation. The results surprised us! 🧵

This morning I will provide an overview of the opportunities to apply AI in plant breeding… of course nothing to worry about! 😆 Promising results include phenotyping, prediction and parent selection Genomics-Assisted Breeding Workshop 11:30am, Town and Country #PAG32

Now online! Study by @YC_Kang05 explored the relationship between seminal root angle and root architecture in durum wheat Root angle associated with differences in allocation of roots at different depths but not aboveground traits or total root biomass doi.org/10.1002/fes3.5…

In 2018, we published multi-crop speed breeding protocols in @NaturePlants and today the article has attracted 1,000 citations! Congrats to all involved across UQ, John Innes Centre, our collaborators and particularly @BrandeWulff, @sreyag_ and Amy Watson rdcu.be/dNv4T

A genome-wide atlas of rust resistance loci in wheat! A summary of QTL/genes for the three rusts from 170 publications over two decades. We positioned 920 loci across 21 chromosomes based on the latest reference genome Check it out in @TheorApplGenet: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We are pretty excited about these mungbean plants! Why? They have been bred using our AI-guided breeding platform to stack haplotypes across the genome to increase seed size Lines will be distributed to breeders around the world as part of our ⁦@ACIARAustralia⁩ project
