How does localGEBV actually work, and how does it compare with GWAS? We’ve used it to find valuable haplotypes in wheat, barley and chickpea. Now there’s a paper that lays out the method and tests it directly. Out in Applied Plant Science! 🧵🌾

🚨 Britain's barley harvest has plunged 14% to just 5.5 million tonnes, its lowest level since 2011/12, as grain supplies face a record squeeze New figures reveal production is also 21% below the five-year average READ MORE: farminguk.com/news/britain-s…

A decade of collaboration, one remarkable discovery. A new report by @CGTNOfficial highlights collaborative research by @LeibnizIPK and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences on the genetic basis of early maturity in barley. Watch the full report: tinyurl.com/3j78d24r

ARS researchers and their partners are exploring new ways to bolster the resistance of grain crops like rice, wheat, and barley to fungal diseases. According to the scientists, resistance works best when a plant’s immune system can quickly recognize its fungal attacker. Thanks to “molecular mimicry”—an evolutionary adaptation—ARS scientists are working to harness sturdier crop varieties that can fend off fungal attacks. scientificdiscoveries.ars.us…
