What is more of a compliment…? Having disguises added to your seminar announcement photo, or having a PCR machine named after you?

Through an exciting industry–academic collaboration, our new Perspective sets the stage for the next phase of hybrid wheat research. 🌾 We focus on floral biology traits that can increase cross-fertilisation in self-pollinating wheat — paving the way for more effective hybrid seed production.

Excited to see our work finally out! 🌾🏴☠️
We show how HvCLV1 and HvFCP1 shape barley inflorescence using innovative techniques and some cool microscopy.
Huge thanks to everyone involved in this study!

It’s always a bit sad when students leave the lab, but many congratulations to Luqman on (almost) finishing his PhD. Good luck for the next steps in the UK, it’s been fun!
