- After a very dry start, these small field plots are looking not too bad. We’ve introduced novel alleles of genes for enhancing yield into an elite background. Work from an old International Wheat Yield Partnership project and a current GRDC tender. Next year proper sized trials at multiple sites
- Last day of the Royal Adelaide Show. ARC ITTC Future Crops’ PhD student Ciara Danes helping visitors build terrariums for growing wheat. Over 700 terrariums built during the show! University of Adelaide Adelaide University School of Agriculture, Food and Wine.
- Great to get out of the office and into the field on a Friday morning to harvest tissue from the OzBarley population. This is for our GRDC proof of concept project, looking for new mechanisms for salinity tolerance. @bberger-au.bsky.social.
- ARC ITTC Future Crops Centre and Adelaide University School of Agriculture Food & Wine stall at the Royal Adelaide Show. Find us in the Golden Grains Pavilion. Come build wheat terrariums, paint with different soils, try cricket chips 🦗 and see what you can smell in our wine ferments.
- Congratulations to @futurecropsau.bsky.social PhD student Yiting Xie, who has just had his first manuscript accepted in Plant Phenomics. bit.ly/3UrkFP6. Yiting’s work uses images and machine learning to help determine when a wheat plant will flower.
- Out in the paddock sampling the OzBarley population for our new GRDC project to understand novel salinity tolerance mechanisms in barley. With @bberger-au.bsky.social and a team from the Australian Plant Phenomics Network.

- Reposted by StuRoy1🚨Our team is hiring!!! If you are an image and data researcher, we might have the right job for you. Join a diverse team and apply your skills to address the big questions of climate resilience in agriculture and food security. careers.adelaide.edu.au/cw/en/job/51...
- Best place to teach experimental design and statistics - Out in the sun with students being an active part of the experimental design. First up, the importance of randomisation. Big thanks to University of Adelaide’s maths learning centre for all your help
- Paddle board practice. Fell in so many times the local lifeguards came to check out I was ok. #dolphins #paddleboard

- Not my usual plant/crop post but festive instead- Cairngorm reindeer. #holidays
- Completed harvest of #GRDC field trials looking at novel #alleles for improved growth/yield in wheat in rain fed areas. Amazed we got anything from the trial with late sowing (lack of rain), little in season rain, and a frost. Big thanks to #ARC #FutureCrops students and staff who helped out.
