๐ Congrats to Sarah Ghysels for winning the @Bayer Award for Best Master Thesis 2023-2024! ๐
Her work on tall fescue performance with RGB image analysis, guided by Prof. Steven Maenhout, was exceptional!
Next: Sarahโs PhD at Ghent Uni, focused on predictive breeding. ๐
Exciting insights on Genomic Selection and Predictive Breeding from Steven Maenhout, Group Leader Predictive breeding at Ghent University, at the 2024 BELIS Project Annual Meeting hosted by ILVO @ILVOvlaanderen@BELIS_EU
The toolbox for plant breeding has been successfully implemented. Huge thanks to all the brilliant minds whose collective efforts made it all possible! Cheers to an unforgettable SALV 2024! ๐๐ฟ#StevenMaenhout@SALVtweet@PredictiveBree1@koencarels
