Even basic seed germination can stand in the way of using crop wild relatives in breeding and agriculture.
A new Practice Abstract from Einav Mayzlish-Gati and her team at Volcani Institute shares protocols to overcome these hurdles.

In Sachsen-Anhalt stressen Forscher etwa Mais und Soja mit Hitzewellen und Extremwettern von morgen. Um die Landwirtschaft anzupassen. Es ist ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit.

Two weeks after seeding, the wild beets for @projectpro-wild.bsky.social are sprouting at @bokuvienna.bsky.social Tulln. 🌱 Check out the vibrant red stalks – this is due to the action of betacyanins, the same pigments that give red beets their beautiful colour.
