I’m really grateful for the super collaboration with Vijay Tiwari at Uni of Maryland, and other collaborators at John Innes Centre in UK and the Bragato Research Institute in NZ. I’m also super proud of my student, Guilherme Silva, who persisted with this difficult genetic study!

WUS-D1 is normally dormant in hexaploid wheat, but genome rearrangement activates expression, and this is accompanied by a boost in meristem size during early inflorescence development, including floret primordia.

We’re excited to share this international collaborative research effort that characterises the genetic basis of multiovary wheat, which involves a remarkable genome rearrangement event that leads to high expression of WUS-D1.

I thoroughly recommend this opportunity to all aspiring group leaders! My career benefited so much from working at JIC with many wonderful colleagues and friends - I always felt at home there and I learnt so much!

New genomic resources to boost research in reproductive biology to enable cost‐effective hybrid seed production
Wheat pollination in line and hybrid varieties needs to be secured in a changing climate.
Cost-effective hybrid wheat seed production requires selection for outcrossing floral organs.
Wheat breeding.....

We invite researchers worldwide to join us in improving floral biology traits for hybrid wheat and call on funding agencies to support this global effort. Together, we can strengthen hybrid breeding capabilities and unlock wheat’s full yield potential

Our position paper highlights three priority research areas:
1️⃣ Floret structure — stigma presentation, longevity, and receptivity to airborne pollen
2️⃣ Pollen release dynamics — including anther extrusion and dehiscence
3️⃣ Environmental impacts — heat, drought, irradiation, and humidity effects

Hybrids harness heterosis to boost grain yields — a breeding success story for crops like maize and rice. 🚜 Unfortunately, wheat still lags behind due to the high costs of hybrid seed production. Research that improves cross-pollination in self-fertilising wheat florets is urgently needed
