Our barley queen! Very sad to say farewell to Tammy as she finalises the last of our 2024 #OzBarley samples before she heads back to China. It has been such a joy having her as a member of our team @scienceanu.bsky.social working on improving cereal root & stem architecture!

Alison Bentley @alisonrbentley.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Happy New Year! Great to have the team back in the lab @scienceanu.bsky.social & ready to go for 2025 continuing our work on building crop resilience to changing climatic conditions & inputs
