Super excited to see our bioRxiv paper out! It furthers our understanding of an FHB resistance locus in timopheevii with some DON resistance too!

A segment of Triticum timopheevii chromosome 3G confers type II Fusarium head blight resistance and reduces DON accumulation in wheat. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.27.684833v1

Did you know 1 m^2 of wheat only produces enough grain for one loaf, and the UK buys 11M loaves every day?!
I loved chatting about the importance of making resilient wheat at the "Future of Farm and Agriculture" Farmers Weekly at New Scientist Live! Thanks Shannon Woodhouse for organising! 🌾

Fantastic to welcome so many early-career female researchers from across the UK wheat community to undertake #WomenInWheat leadership training provided by @hfpconsulting.bsky.social at the JIC field station this week! 🌾
