A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

Happy to share this new study in barley breeding! We extended traditional GWAS to account for population-dependent effects and increased statistical power to identify robust QTLs
