A funded PhD position for studying wheat pathogen adaptation to climate factors is open in my lab @inrae-bioger.bsky.social @univparissaclay.bsky.social in collab. @jki-research.bsky.social (Germany), with a start planned for autumn 2026 ▶️ eng-bioger.versailles-saclay.hub.inrae.fr/teams-and-pl...

Big thanks to co-authors Dan Bebber, Diane Saunders and @nrpdtp.bsky.social for the support. Special thank you to @hsuanpai.bsky.social for the beautiful illustration of the wheat stem rust complex life cycle

One question that stuck with me early in my PhD was whether the experimental data underpinning wheat stem rust epidemiological models were still fit for purpose. Our new review digs into the evidence, how it’s used in models, and where the biggest gaps remain.

Hi, let me introduce myself. My name is Hee-Kyung and I am a new group leader at the Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences, University of Edinburgh. I'd like to share with you how my curiosity for plants began, and my academic journey. @instmolplantsci.bsky.social biology.ed.ac.uk/plant-scienc...

Visite de la station expérimentale #INGC de Koudiat 🇹🇳 / plateforme #CIMMYT.

Had a great time at #Monogram25! Learnt a lot about the exciting science happening around the UK and beyond, was grateful for an opportunity to present my research and make connections in this welcoming community ☺️ looking forward to next year! 🌾🌾

I’m very happy to share the published version of our paper on the role of MET1 in wheat 🌾 🧬 It’s been really exciting to discover more about DNA methylation in wheat and it’s huge polyploid genome doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...
