Two key insights from our work on wheat blast (now out in @NaturePlants: https://t.co/Zqs67KFwBD)
- Non-host resistance to blast fungus conferred by two qualitative resistance genes => possible to make a crop non-host to specialist pathogen by stacking qualitative R genes (1/n)

We are extremely excited about this project. The student will receive mentoring and outstanding training in modern crop genetics, genomics, data analysis and bioinformatics, alongside essential core scientific and transferable skills. Please apply and spread the word. Thank you!
We are really excited to offer this PhD position working alongside @LimagrainWheat and @BASF to exploit haplotypes for wheat breeding. Strong emphasis in bioinformatics with flexibility as well. Any questions please let me know.
The final paper from our BBSRC-Embrapa project is now published! Thanks to all co-authors, both in the UK and Brazil, for all their input and for making it such a fun collaboration.
Quantitative sources of resistance to fusarium infection and DON accumulation in Brazilian wheat, lead by @RachelJGoddard and Paul Nicholson published in @PLOSONE 🌱 https://t.co/EniNFRzjLK
Check out this blog post introducing our new review paper on the wheat resistance gene atlas, preprint available on Zenodo now!!
