Please join us in congratulating Jasdeep Singh for being elected as the NAPB George Washington Carver Scholar working group secretary! Jasdeep Singh is a PhD student at the University of Florida and will serve as secretary for the 2022-2023 academic year. @NAPlantBreeders
“I came to UF to train the AI leaders of tomorrow," says Dr. Charlie Messina, our new UF/IFAS professor of horticultural sciences. He combines AI and plant breeding to reimagine agriculture as a solution to climate change. More at https://t.co/3siQ41F8vz

A misleading paper in @ScienceMagazine just came out talking about how a single gene can increase rice yield by 41-68%. As a (wanna-be) plant breeder, I’m here to tell you why this study is misleading, and we can’t “solve” yield through single genes 🧵

If Holly (Ilex aquifolium) finds its leaves are being nibbled by deer, it switches genes on to make them spiky when they regrow. So on taller Holly trees, the upper leaves (which are out of reach) have smooth edges, while the lower leaves are prickly 🤙
I am so happy to say that BiocSwirl won best talk at #Bioc2021!! Absolutely humbling as I know there were many great packages and speakers we were beside. Incredible work from the @bioctools team!!!
When a plant looks so much like a bird you need to do a double take - introducing Crotalaria cunninghamii, or the Green Bird-flower, from Northern Australia.
Hey everyone, BiocSwirl is an incredibly cool bioinformatics education project that I've been very fortunate to be a part of. We're about to release some very cool stuff, so if you want to be a part of it from the beginning give this account a follow!
