Checking out the impressive AGT breeding facilities and headquarters yesterday at Roseworthy Great to catch up with James Walter and others on our ARC Linkage project led by Karine Chenu

Very exciting to be planning field trials for our gene edited barley lines in collaboration with Stuart Roy at the GM field testing facility at Rosedale, South Australia ARC Training Centre for Future Crops Development

Some learnings from this year's The Crawford Fund conference 👂Spend time really LISTENing to what farmers & partners incountry want/need 🤝 Build genuine, equal partnerships & co-design projects for real impact 👩‍🌾 Transforming food systems needs holistic, collaborative solutions

A pleasure to ⁦host Anna Backhaus⁩ from ⁦ICARDA⁩ at UQ last week Looking forward to collaborating more with the ICARDA team on pre-breeding and research activities

Congratulations to Dr Michael Taleski from ANU for receiving an Australian Research Council DECRA to work on unlocking crop yield gains through nitrogen use efficiency, in collaboration with some of our Centre CIs, including Lee Hickey and Peter Crisp 👏 ➡️shorturl.at/tGdbm

Jobs I have as a PI that I didn't know I'd have before I became a PI: accountant, financial planner, HR manager, conference & event organiser, grant manager, counsellor, meeting facilitator, course developer, academic administrator, facility manager, purchasing officer, AV tech.

Kicking off the first day of root phenotyping! Excited to see the Core Break method in action again with collaboration between CSIRO ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding ARC linkage between UQ News and InterGrain. #RootPhenotyping

Day two..#rootphenotyping and root counting in the field continues… A great effort to better understand root distribution and root size in Australian barley in collaboration with CSIRO and InterGrain QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation

Congratulations to Professor Mario Calus for taking on the position of Professor/Chairholder of the Animal Breeding and Genomics chair group of Wageningen University & Research Wageningen U&R

Great to spend the last few days checking out ChickpeaBreedingAustralia trials on the Western Downs with Kristy Hobson Shanice Van Haeften seeing how they're holding up with this heat 🔥

We are looking forward to getting into the new Plant Futures Facility at ⁦UQ News⁩! ⁦Millicent Smith⁩

Day three … and still counting roots! I thought it is time for making some sweets for tomorrow. You have to wait to see what we will have for morning tea🤩 #roots #droughtadaptation CSIRO QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation UQ News ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding Hickey Lab

Day four of field root phenotyping! It was definitely time for some home made baklava!! and a group photo with both CSIRO and QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation teams. We're seeking a better understanding of drought adaptive mechanisms in Australian barley by exploring root distribution ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding

BREEDING, TOMORROW'S WHEAT VARIETIES TODAY! Advanced parental selection, speed breeding, artificial/natural inoculation, regourese selection, and testing in the well established simulated environments and target population environments are part of the process. 🌾 #CIMMYT

We’re excited to launch a new Expression of Interest (EOI) form to allow you to apply for PhD studentship or postdoctoral researcher positions within the Australian Research Council Training Centre in Predictive Breeding. We are especially seeking EOI's from Quantitative Geneticists in Animal
