Wheat and Barley Legacy
for Breeding Improvement

[Whealbi @whealbi]

KWS has its own breeders academy !
You want to become a breeder : The Breeders’ Academy offers unique and tailormade training.
A few words with @Jacob_Lage on this unique opportunity

Domestication and selection footprints have been assessed in wheat with over 600,000 SNPs by Dr. Jerome Salse and his team at @Inra_France. Changes in domestication genes could even be monitored over time and across the different genomes. Strong and valuable research. @whealbi

Identifying the nature and extend of gene sequence diversity in #barley. Ian Dawson from @JamesHuttonInst identified over 2 million SNPs from which 400,000 were filtered and qualified as robust. @whealbi @malcolmacaulay @BarleyPlanet @BarleyPlanet @IntBarleyHub @Barley_Meiosis

[Dr Elizabeth Chapman @LizCh]

@whealbi Thanks for allowing non-partners attend today. Lovely day, hearing about the varied approaches, results, successes and methodologies. Great bunch of people.

Helping keep me motivated regarding my own PhD work!

[Nathan Morris @DrClod]

Excellent opportunity @whealbi to report on the field performance under contrasting tillage and nitrogen inputs

[Malcolm Macaulay @malcolmacaulay]

Work from @NIABTAG during the @whealbi project by Nathan Morris & @DrClod Eric Ober on the impact of cultivation and nitrogen input regimes on wheat and barley cultivar performance

[Malcolm Macaulay @malcolmacaulay]

Ambrogio Costanzo @Ambro_ORC @OrgResCent tells the @whealbi meeting the lessons he learned from an experiment with different soil management in relation to wheat ideotypes

[Sonia Negrao @sonicanegrao]

How growers and breeders see breeding. The development of pre-breeding material by @KWS_Group as presented by Jacob Lage @whealbi meeting

[Malcolm Macaulay @malcolmacaulay]

Wheat pre-breeding work from @Jacob_Lage @KWSUKLtd involved with @whealbi project #WHEALBI

[Whealbi @whealbi]

Pre-breeding is an important part of the Whealbi project (WP6) to increase the genetic diversity in wheat and barley varieties to adapt them to climate change ! Thanks @KWSUKLtd for its work and its engagement in the @whealbi project !

[Sonia Negrao @sonicanegrao]

Prof.Robbie Waugh @JamesHuttonInst addressing a full room and kicking-off the final meeting of the WHEALBI project. Exciting day ahead on barley and wheat research! 🤓

[Malcolm Macaulay @malcolmacaulay]

Thomas Letellier takes us through a demo of accessing phenotyping and sequence variation data from the @Whealbi database #whealbi https://t.co/DjIKxkqrnW

[Michael Alaux @michaelalaux]

Thomas Letellier presents the whealbi data in the GnpIS information system @whealbi @Inra_urgi

[Whealbi @whealbi]

The WHEALBI project has also studies on drought resistance and disease tolerance of wheat and barley varieties adapted to climate change !

[Whealbi @whealbi]

Start of the Final @whealbi conference at the Royal Society of Edinburgh !
Presentation of results and discussions on each work package of the project !

[Whealbi @whealbi]

[BarleyPlanet @BarleyPlanet]

Great to be able to explain how @IntBarleyHub relates to @VIBES_Awards today in sunny Dundee. @whealbi germplasm great to explain value of diversity in Climate Change mitigation as well as #IMPROMALT project

[Whealbi @whealbi]
