Dayton Bird

PhD Candidate at Adelaide University in Plant Ovule Development

[Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry @DAFFgov]

All I want for Christmas is to read the latest edition of @ABARES Essentials! 🎄 🐑

Read what we’ve been up to this quarter here: https://t.co/GP7mahoZxi

[Matthew Tucker @drtucks]

Barley is tougher than most crops due to a special genetic blueprint 👊🍻 One of its genes (HvMADS1) protects the spike under higher temperatures and could be a useful target to improve grain number. https://t.co/ylGNTubSWS @waiteresearch @UniAdelSciences @NaturePlants

2500 socially distanced, hand sown mutant barley lines... finished just before a downpour. My soft keyboard hands are spent 🤪@waiteresearch @kentonp_ag @SAGrainTrust #barley #letshopetheygerminate

[Luke Selth @LukeSelth]

The Selth lab @Flinders @cancerFCIC is hiring! I’m looking for a postdoc to work on an exciting new project funded by @CancerCouncilSA investigating cell plasticity in prostate cancer. DM/email for more details. Apply or retweet - you know you want to!

Matthew Tucker @drtucks starting off the symposium down under! #plantsex #plantreproduction

[PlantSexDownUnder @PlantSexDU]

Our next talk is @XiujuanYang sharing results on defining a germline niche during ovule development in barley. #plantscience #plantdevelopment #psdu2020 @SEBiology @mscienceaustnz @SeedForceAU @SexSeedRise @waiteresearch @drtucks @MSCActions

[Pei Qin Sabrina @PNgsabrina]

Beautiful introductory slides by Xiaojun Yang @FoodUniAdelaide on ovule development in barley 🌾 @PlantSexDU

[PlantSexDownUnder @PlantSexDU]

The final talk for the day is Professor Lucia Colombo on post transcriptional regulation of MONOPTEROS for ovule development #plantscience #plantdevelopment #psdu2020 @SEBiology @mscienceaustnz @SeedForceAU @SexSeedRise @waiteresearch @drtucks @MSCActions

[PlantSexDownUnder @PlantSexDU]

Professor David Smyth was our first speaker for day two giving an amazing talk on what controls the number of stamens and carpels in a flower. #plantscience #plantdevelopment #psdu2020 @SEBiology @mscienceaustnz @SeedForceAU @SexSeedRise @waiteresearch @drtucks @MSCActions
