@beccatesta.bsky.socialTwo great talks by members of the Borrill group at #Monogram2026 today: Miles Curl telling us about drought tolerance in wheat and @beccatesta.bsky.social investigating the role of NAC3 in senescence in wheat. Great chairing of a whole session by @amy-newell.bsky.social too! Well done all 👍🏼
Show PostIt was a fantastic talk Becca, thank you! 👏 #wheat #senescence
Show PostWe’re back at the @dsw-isp.bsky.social annual meeting this afternoon where @emilieknight.bsky.social is presenting a promising protoplast-based method to decipher gene networks in wheat. Protoplasts are living plant, bacterial, or fungal cells that have had their rigid outer cell walls removed.

Show PostToday I was lucky enough to attend an International Wheat Symposium at the @johninnescentre.bsky.social 🌾 There were many inspiring talks and I learnt so much about disease resistance, biofortification, breeding.... And I loved being able to share my work on starch in wheat wild relatives
