Across four research themes the @dsw-isp.bsky.social programme is a collaborative initiative to address critical challenges in wheat health and yield, and develop sustainable solutions to increase production.
#wheatgenomics
🌾 Can ancient wheat help future-proof our crops?
Join Vijay Tiwari on 11 Dec 2025 to explore how wild wheat relatives and genomics can unlock resilience genes.

#IWGSC #WheatGenomics #CropScience
The third day begins with “Exploring the genetic and epigenetic regulation of drought response and tolerance in wheat landraces” talk by Andrea Harper. Discovering genetic strategies behind drought resilience in wheat. #DroughtTolerance #WheatGenomics
Speakers at the plant and animal genome conference. Jonathan Wright, Bioinformatician. Talk title 'High-quality genome assemblies to explore genetic variation in wheat'. Graham Etherington, Senior Computational Biologist. Talk title 'Structural variant discovery in the Watkins Landrace Wheat Collection using ultra-long Nanopore reads'.
Heading to #PAG32 next month?
EI researchers @jonwright99.bsky.social and Graham will be speaking as part of the #WheatGenomics to Breeding session discussing work using #genomeassemblies and ultra-long @nanoporetech.com reads to identify key variations in wheat.
