New work form our lab shows that loss of function of HvST1 — a grass-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase — increases chromosome recombination up to ~2.5-fold by boosting distal synapsis and crossover formation.

Our research helps to unlock key traits such as malting quality, drought tolerance, and yield. This translates directly to support barley use in malting and brewing industries. We'll raise a glass to that 🍻

We hosted the 3rd Best Crop project AGM this week. A successful meeting, which included a field trip where delegates visited our plots, demonstrating the wide range of research projects as part of the International Barley Hub programme.

Last week I attended #EGU25 to share my research in a poster session. Link to the abstract: doi.org/10.5194/egus...
It was a great experience to present my research, listen to fascinating talks, and meet familiar names in person

First sampling event of my field experiment completed!
It has been a very dry growing season so far which is concerning for farmers across the UK. I am intrigued to see how my Bere adapted to these conditions across the different soil types

It's our 2025 Barley Stakeholder Event tomorrow. We look forward networking with barley industry experts & stakeholders. Exploring fresh concepts, innovative ideas & advancements shaping the future of barley. Uncovering new opportunities with collaborations & avenues for growth #betterbarley
Nice meeting @The Kings Foundation today. Hopefully lots of opportunity for different sectors of the food system to work together #LeadingIdeas on #hemp #betterbarley and #wildedibles @rowettinstitute.bsky.social
All set at the Scottish Festival of Real Bread #leadingideas with #betterbarley #hemp and #wildedibles - come and see us @rowettinstitute.bsky.social
New research from Hutton scientists at the
@intbarleyhub.bsky.social, published in @naturegenet.bsky.social, has revealed how different strains of #barley switch genes on and off in unique patterns—shedding light on the power of #GeneExpression.

Opening slide at a conference presentation. The title reads: Bere barley: root soil interactions. The graphic displayed shows a modern bred barley plant next to a historic landrace which has evolved in response to the local environmental conditions and management. There is a zoomed in section of both root systems which shows that the landrace has a larger zone of soil modification “Rhizosheath” than the modern barley.
Last week I had to pleasure of attending and presenting my research at the Barley Away Days hosted by @hutton.ac.uk
Using an accessible high-throughput system, Scottish landrace #bere had a larger zone of soil influence than an elite cultivar at early seedling stage

Looking forward to a busy week ahead as we host Best Crop & RecoBar meetings followed by Barley Genome Net and finally Barley Away Days meeting. Safe travels to everyone and we are excited to welcome you to the International Barley Hub! #IBH #betterbarley
