Congratulations to Yasmine Lam on being awarded her PhD at UQ today! So well deserved! A great outcome for QAAFI and for our ARC Discovery team too!

Great line-up of speakers in our symposium on Designing and Modelling Crops for a Hotter and Drier World at #TropAg 2022 in Brisbane this week.

Wake up to find some barstards have cut the hell out of our oats.... to say I am angry is an understatement. Drone photos to come 😡😡😡

Held up by camels on the way to Melkassa Research Centre in Ethiopia's Rift Valley. Good excuse for getting to work late over here! @QAAFI

Narrow root angle in sorghum associated with higher grain yield under drought in Ethiopia @gatesfoundation PEARL Project Final Review meeting (Jimma University & UQ) @QAAFI

Final review of BMGF PEARL Project in Ethiopia (Jimma University & UQ). Training future African leaders was one of the key outcomes!

Well done Temesgen! It's been a privilege to work with you in Australia and Ethiopia. And some exciting data too on root architecture in sorghum!

Really impressive young scientist. I expect to see great things from him in the future



This will be a great conference to discuss how we translate 'photosynthesis' science into yield gains in the field.

Science is in the process of turning #photosynthesis traits into the future source of the yield gains that the world needs to maintain food security, particularly of bread wheat and rice: bit.ly/2D8UDZC || #GroundCover #agchatoz



Great to see this sort of progress!

Fantastic collaboration with the EIAR chickpea team on modernizing crop breeding programs to increase the rate of genetic gain, funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. A great day at Debre Zeit with Nigussie and his team, @SorgGuy, @DrHikov and other @QAAFI colleagues.

Drone image of our sorghum trial at Pirrinuan this year. Tough year. Red is soil green is standing plants. Lots of lodging so a great site for discrimination of the good and bad. Thanks to pilot and compter wrangler @laws_ken

Great facility at UQ's Gatton Campus to measure root growth under variable water and nutrient conditions. @QAAFI @theGRDC
