Lucky enough to get some shine at the @rankprize.bsky.social symposium in Ullswater. Lovely to be here and discuss millets with plenty excellent scientists, and

@leonardo-caproni.bsky.social just presented our research on time-resolved #QTL mapping at the #EPPS workshop - linking photosynthetic efficiency to maize growth dynamics. Great discussions on #phenotyping in controlled environments! 🚀🚀🚀

Hello world from the 68th congress of the Italian Society of Agricultural Genetics! Kudos to Martina and Godman for the great job presenting their work on maize genomics and sorghum-striga interaction #crop #QTL #GWAS @leonardo-caproni.bsky.social @mdellacq.bsky.social

Smallholder-maintained #cowpea varieties in Southern Africa hold valuable genetic traits for adapting to a changing climate, offering key insights for breeding resilient #crops and strengthening future food security.🌍 @mdellacq.bsky.social

I generally dislike this kind of perspective and argument about semantics. But I very much liked this one. My own definition of domestication has been basically this for some time, but the authors lay it out better than I could have, with lots of relevant arguments about the nature of domestication.
