Today we visited the world's oldest archive of soil and wheat samples and the scientific facilities of the @CranfieldUni 👩🔬🌾 We also met with a promising start-up, SugaROx @caraagriffiths Thanks to all the partners for welcoming us so warmly! 😃
Nice layman summary of our recent PNAS publication by co-authors @caraagriffiths and Matthew Paul 👇
What makes plant roots branch? New study led by @PSB_VIB @ugent identifies a sugar signalling mechanism that could potentially be used to boost plant growth 🌱 @caraagriffiths Full story 👇 rothamsted.ac.uk/news/study-she…
I am really excited to share our latest manuscript, @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We investigated the life and death of basal spikelets in wheat. Huge thanks to my supervisor @CristobalUauy for the support and many discussions. We’d love to hear your feedback. (1/12)
So pleased to be featured in @FarmersWeekly after presenting SugaROx at #REAP2022 late last year with @Agri_Tech_E Its a wonderful and very apt time to be contributing to the sustainability of global agriculture. @Rothamsted @RothamstedCRE @UniofOxford fwi.co.uk/arable/crop-ma…

This is an excellent article which highlights our collaboration with @Yield10Bio and describes the benefits of plant-based production of omega-3 fish oils. Olga Sayanova and I have been working on this project for many years & it is great to see continued progress.
‘The oceans cannot meet global demand’ - interesting article comparing novel methods of sourcing omega 3 including our Camelina research lead by @JohnathanNapie1 vitafoodsinsights.com/omega-3/oceans…
Great to see @caraagriffiths of the Rothamsted & @UniofOxford spin-out SugaROx in the Start-Up Showcase at @Agri_Tech_E REAP Conference 2022 this week. Find out how their unique #biostimulant spray can boost plant growth 👇 sugarox.co.uk
Excited to see that SugaROx is a part of the Start-Up Showcase at #REAP2022 SugaROx is a @Rothamsted spin out and we see first-hand the great things they do on campus. @Agri_Tech_E @caraagriffiths #agritechweek #agritech #innovation #agriculture
Was a pleasure to speak about SugaROx at #REAP2022 what a fantastic event!
Directing sugar use in plants can act as a crop biostimulant, according to SugaROx, a spin out from @Rothamsted Seen a 22% consistent yield increase in winter wheat, based on one spray at T4 stage. Leading to a reliable 24% improvement in gross margins! #REAP2022
Unbelievable. PhD students told to consider selling Avon products to make ends meet theguardian.com/science/2022/j…
The Ukraine-Russia war continues to de-stabilize global wheat. In our new @NatureFoodJnl paper we propose essential actions to mitigate near-term food security crisis, stabilize wheat supply & transition towards greater agri-food system resilience @CIMMYT nature.com/articles/s4301…
If you've been employed on short-term contracts for >8 years, we encourage you to participate in @EdinburghUni's national study. Info on research staff in this situation is limited, this survey seeks to understand the circumstances that contribute to it: bit.ly/3AiF8g3

Some great coverage for our project with CIMMYT and ITSON on the role of nocturnal temperatures in the Guardian @AlisonRBentley @WheatPhysiology @yepezglz @ErikMurchie @Liana_Ace theguardian.com/environment/20…
GMOs. Did you know most of the food you eat contains lots of DNA from viruses and bacteria. It’s called nature. Oh and lots of “natural” foods have already been made natural GMOs because they have DNA from bacteria and viruses in their genomes. The non GMO project sells fear
GMOs. You know you don’t want ‘em in your food, but do you know what makes a GMO a GMO? Let’s explore the basics of old and new genetic engineering techniques. livingnongmo.org/2022/05/12/wha…
My first first author publication ☺️🌾 and I'm so honoured it's published with such an outstanding society @ASPB Thanks again to my supervisors, @CristobalUauy @WHaerty and Richard Morris for making this paper possible✨

Many under-researched crops may have properties that render them vital for our future food security. Mark Chapman, Yuqi He and Meiliang Zhou outline a research approach that goes ‘beyond the reference genome’: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…
Anyone got an outstanding UK student still looking for a PhD has experience in molbio/micro that’s interested in working on antibiotic development on PhD opportunity of lifetime. 2 years here with us in Bristol followed by 2 years in Australia. Get them to contact me ASAP
Very passionate about this - systemic change is needed.
I wrote a thing for @Nature outlining 3 common workplace gender equality mistakes: 1 Focusing on quantity rather than the quality of women’s experiences 2 Initiatives that try to fix women rather than change systems 3 An overestimation of progress nature.com/articles/d4158…
