It was a pleasure to have Rahul Bhosale at the @hutton.ac.uk yesterday.
His talk about the regulation of the root angle in cereals at the @intbarleyhub.bsky.social seminar series was very inspiring!

❗Beware of Scam emails for participants of the #SEBconference Antwerp 2025, offering help with hotel bookings.

I nearly fell into the trap.
