After a very dry start, these small field plots are looking not too bad. We’ve introduced novel alleles of genes for enhancing yield into an elite background. Work from an old International Wheat Yield Partnership project and a current GRDC tender. Next year proper sized trials at multiple sites

Great to get out of the office and into the field on a Friday morning to harvest tissue from the OzBarley population. This is for our GRDC proof of concept project, looking for new mechanisms for salinity tolerance. @bberger-au.bsky.social.

New paper! @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social AM fungi decreased the bioavailability of micronutrients (Zn + Fe) in rice 🌾 We used Synchrotron XFM to look at micronutrient concentrations in the aleurone layer of +/- AMF rice, and compared them to wholegrain concentrations 🧐 doi.org/10.1002/ppp3...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi increase aleurone layer zinc concentration but reduce overall zinc bioavailability in rice grain
Rice is a critical crop for the delivery of calories and essential micronutrients to the human diet. Biofortification of rice with zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) aims to combat the health issues associated ....

Completed harvest of #GRDC field trials looking at novel #alleles for improved growth/yield in wheat in rain fed areas. Amazed we got anything from the trial with late sowing (lack of rain), little in season rain, and a frost. Big thanks to #ARC #FutureCrops students and staff who helped out.

Hypothesised role for HKT transporter in Arabidopsis and wheat during salt stress, which reduces sodium accumulation in floral tissue. Higher leaf sodium vaccination does not always affect yield
