The same western blot image used 23 times in 14 different papers by one Japanese team. The image has been labelled as representing a range of experiments and proteins. This is the most I have ever seen. Perhaps it is a record?

[Gurminder Singh @Gurmnder_Singh]

Happy to share that our paper has been published 🎉in Theoretical and Applied Genetics.

This study examines the genetic basis of resistance to root-lesion nematodes in triticale and provides tools for cereal breeding programs.

Zengcui Zhang et al. investigated the wheat–Parastagonospora nodorum pathosystem, a model for necrotrophic fungal interactions where SnTox3 induces disease via an inverse gene-for-gene mechanism. @FarisGenLab Learn more: https://t.co/hJVb503ZRQ

Always a fun to see old friends and colleagues at #PAG32, especially when it’s your PhD adviser. Great to catch up with Bikram Gill again! #legend #wheat #Genetics

[Gurminder Singh @Gurmnder_Singh]

Honored to present my work on wheat susceptibility to tan spot at the #IWGSC workshop @wheatgenome during #PAG32. A big thank you to IWGSC organizers for the opportunity and to everyone who attended. Looking forward to more great discussions!

[Molly Bergum @BergumMolly]

Thrilled to share our work on the putative neofunctionalization of an EXO70 clade unique to grasses and grass-like species 🌾! (1/8)

Congrats to @acharya_krish87 on leading this pioneering research to identify and map robust resistance QTLs for bacterial leaf streak in wheat. Impactful research needed for wheat improvement, especially in the Upper Great Plains.

[Krishna Acharya, PhD @acharya_krish87]

Excited to share our new paper on QTL mapping for BLS resistance in hexaploid wheat! A huge thanks to my co-authors and everyone who contributed to this project @FarisGenLab
