Applications to join the ROOT & SHOOT SI-MI mentor training close Monday July 20!! Last chance! rootandshoot.org/simi2026/ This is a fantastic free online course, running from late August through late Nov. If you're at #PlantBio2026 ask me about it, but don't delay!

On behalf of all AFEs who couldnt join the celebration, I wanted to wish a very happy 100th birthday to @plantphys.bsky.social 🥳🎂 and many more to come!. Huge thanks to everybody who made it possible and supported this fantastic AFE program❤️🙏 @plantteaching.bsky.social. Enjoy a lot! 🥂 #PlantBio2026

Postdomestication selection of MKK3 shaped seed dormancy and end-use traits in barley

Anthropogenic selection of grain traits such as dormancy has shaped the developmental trajectories of crops. In cereals, shortening dormancy provides rapid and even postharvest germination, but increa...

In domesticated barley, grains with low levels of dormancy can sprout before harvest in the field after exposure to dew, mist, or rain. Preharvest sprouting in barley and other cereals reduces the quality of mature grain and jeopardizes its end-use value. Learn more: https://scim.ag/3KVkV86
