@Chen_yinglong @uwanews @UWAresearch The last conference was excellent. I'll have something ready around that time, definitely planning to attend again.

@UgaZaku This was in the upland P deficient field btw, not the paddies

[James King @JamesDMKing]

@UgaZaku I found some landrace varieties like DJ123 have roots that grow over one meter horizontally from the plant in the fields at JIRCAS (unpublished so far) while some like IR64 only reach around 30cm horizontally- something to consider when sampling the monolith from diversity panels

@mumumouse2 👍👍 Even bad science that is never applied in a harmful way ends up wasting enormous amounts of time (and money) of other researchers who attempt to do follow on work that leads nowhere rather than focusing their efforts on an area that would actually advance their field.

Wind in the oat diversity panel (no lodging please)

[James King @JamesDMKing]

I'd probably score it as 1, 3+, 23 and 2 clockwise from the top. No flecking, chlorosis or necrosis.

Plz RT:
I’ll be recruiting 2-3 grad students in 2025. If you’re interested in wheat breeding, genetics/genomics of agronomic, quality, pest resistance traits, genomic selection, email me with subject line-CBL studentship. Generous stipend+tuition. We’re based in @CityofEdmonton

I'm sure my new colleague has some interesting thoughts on oat crown rust resistance genes but I can't quite understand most of what he's saying.

@gurcharn_brar @CBL_UA @Erysiphales @striiformis @knaveen_vt @UAlberta Congrats Bhai, great job!

[James King @JamesDMKing]

@mumumouse2 I'm more impressed by the consistency in grain yield between plots on their fields - especially when extrapolating from so few plants and plots. Figure 2 and 3 also have some interesting error bars.

[James King @JamesDMKing]

Finally got my paper back!

G'day mates, I was granted Australian PR this arvo! Time to stop wearing t-shirts in 15 degree weather and learn to like Vegemite.
