I think I’m right in saying this is our biggest biostimulant experiment starting today (winter wheat), around 20 Ha in East Anglia, UK. I think we coated around 1 tonne of seed. Wish us luck!

It’s time for the microtom harvest @Halle, of course I’ve been very helpful by stating the obvious and micromanaging, that’s what professors are for 😂 Cute plants too!!! 🍅🍅🍅

On August 1, 1931, Harriet Creighton and Barbara McClintock published the first experimental proof that genes are physically located on chromosomes—a discovery that transformed genetics. 1/3🧵

I know this has a lot to do the high temperatures we have had in Germany lately: but it does make me think that reducing nitrogen fertiliser run-off into our rivers is very important, and hoping that our work on improving nutrient use efficiency in crops will in some small way contribute some day….

Friday Flower 001: Mimulus lewisii 🌸✨ Monkeyflowers are masterpieces of design with nectar-guide spots formed by an activator–inhibitor system of MYB transcription factors. These generate reaction–diffusion patterns across the ventral petal.
