@kentonp_ag @BarleyPlanet @JimZwar @far_australia @theGRDC @darcydww2 The waterlogging tolerant Planet line I gave to you is still a mixture of selections. Here is a video showing a pure line of WL tolerant Planet in our field trial. This trial has been underwater for two months; a large proportion of Planet died with no dead plants in WL Planet.

@kentonp_ag @theGRDC @far_australia Thanks for posting this. Aerenchyma starts to form after 1-2 weeks waterlogging (gene starts to express) thus the longer WL stress the more difference between tolerance and sensitive ones. We are testing more lines with additional genes for ion toxicity tolerance.

@kentonp_ag For a few years now but only check occasionally. 👍🤝🤝

@drjuliaeaston You are very welcome and thanks for your support!

@BlakelyPaynter If have enough funding we could have the gene into commercial varieties in 2 years

Waterlogging yield trial after recovery. Compare the last one with Westminster, Planet and Franklin
