What an amazing week at the FFWD-Plants seasonal school! 🧬

It was a blast sharing innovative research, from #agrobiodiversity to #QuantitativeGenetics in such a vibrant international atmosphere. We had some truly great times together!✨

A huge thank you to all the trainers and participants!

Excited to share that I’ve started a visiting period during my PhD at the #University of #Essex 🎓🌱

I’m diving deeper into #stomata #imaging and exploring the #genetic basis of this fascinating #phenotype in #maize, gaining new perspectives and hands-on expertise along the way 🧬 🌽 ✨

Amazing opportunity at Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies. Don’t miss it! 🧬 🌾

Our researchers from #Kenya: catching #environmental #DNA with #spiderwebs - new bio-filter to explore local #biodiversity 🕸️🧬 🦋🐛🦠
Stay tuned for amazing new spots! 🌎

✨ Exciting week with researchers from #Kenya, #Ethiopia & #Palestine at our workshop “Breedtech”🌱
We’re diving into #genetics and #genomics tool, #agrobiodiversity & #environmental #DNA, learning and sharing ideas — and also enjoying the beauty of Pisa together! 🧬🌍

Hello world from the 68th congress of the Italian Society of Agricultural Genetics! Kudos to Martina and Godman for the great job presenting their work on maize genomics and sorghum-striga interaction #crop #QTL #GWAS @leonardo-caproni.bsky.social @mdellacq.bsky.social
