Centre for Plant Success Webinar Series: Shunichiro Tomura and Taylor Wass
ZoomShunichiro Tomura Ensemble approach for genomic prediction in crop breeding The application of genomic prediction has increased genetic gain in crop breeding. However, further acceleration across varying environments is required to meet the increasing yield demand. One bottleneck has been a low selection accuracy in genomic prediction models. A variety of models have been developed and evaluated, revealing that their

Centre for Plant Success Webinar Series: Chantelle Beagley and Chamilka Ratnayake
ZoomChantelle Beagley Dissecting the genetics of domestication in legumes as a contribution towards a comparative understanding of crop evolution. Crop domestication is a complex process in which wild species become adapted for human use. Many species in the legume family are important global food crops, but compared to other major crops such as cereals, very little is known about the

Centre for Plant Success Webinar Series: Daniel Otwani and Hanh Vo
ZoomDaniel Otwani Exploring grain filling duration for yield in grain sorghum Yield increase in sorghum has been achieved by increasing grain number. Scope exists to increase yield by changing grain size, however this has been limited by the negative association between grain size and grain number. Extending the grain filling duration (GFD) has potential to increase grain size without the
Talking Plant Science: Daniela Bustos-Korts
ZoomThe ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success in Nature and Agriculture is proud to bring you the next seminar in our Talking Plant Science series presented by Associate Professor Daniela Bustos-Korts. From trait dynamics to GxE for the target trait: Utilizing Stay Green and Multiple Physiological Traits for Enhanced Wheat Adaptation to Contrasting Drought Conditions Understanding and predicting genotype
People-Plant Interrelationships and the Law – but whose law? Expanding the conversation through Ethnobiology and Biocultural Ethics
ZoomPresented by Dr. Kelly Bannister, Co-Director, POLIS Project on Ecological Governance, Centre for Global Studies at the University of Victoria. “Variety is the spice of life” is a well known phrase that can be traced back to a poem called The Task published in 1785 by William Cowper. Little did Cowper know that he was onto something bigger than just pleasure! A
Genotype by Environment by Management (GxExM) Symposium III
ZoomEvent information In collaboration with Wageningen University & Research the ARC Centre of Excellence for Plant Success is coordinating a hybrid (in-person and online) symposium on October 30 and 31 in Wageningen, Netherlands. The symposium will focus on a range of topics related to the study of Genotype by Environment by Management (GxExM) interactions and their importance for crop improvement.
