The Kathy L. Chan Greenhouse at HudsonAlpha is a game-changer for our plant genetics faculty. While there are many advanced features that help the plants grow and thrive, there are certain people entrusted to manage the day-to-day operations of the greenhouse. Meet the Kathy L. Chan Greenhouse staff and learn more about their contributions to the plant genetics research going on at HudsonAlpha: https://lnkd.in/gBkjjFaE

Our Microbe of the Month for July is Clostridium tanneri. It was named after Ralph S. Tanner, a contemporary American microbiologist for his many contributions to the field of anaerobic microbial cultivation.

A New Model for calculating Okra Seed Germenation Rates when germenation capacity is unknown or variant in a fixed region. A Necessary step before scaling up okra production from one Origin Lot, while also maintaining genetic resiliency in a specific variety. (simplfiying the planning process when introducing need seed lots into new environments) If we get desirable results from this seasons yield, we may have a winner. And if not, then we will measure, document, and make adjustments. Either way, we will publish the white paper in January 2025. Over the next few months, I am going to be sharing informally some of the steps we have taken over the past 3 seasons.

I am excited to share with you the latest in our groups publications - "Interspecies Differences in 6PPD-Quinone Toxicity Across Seven Fish Species: Metabolite Identification and Semiquantification". I, along side with my team, were able to identify two metabolites of 6PPD-Quinone and relate their relative abundance to either sensitivity or exposure concentration. Given this information, 6PPD-Quinone is very likely the toxicant, rather than its metabolites and should therefore be considered detoxified by the body. This information should aid with the environmental monitoring of this contaminant and fish, and may serve as a biomarker of exposure. Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dXGjUSAK

Assistant Professor (tenure track) & curator / plants / citizen science / museum specimens — Science & Society Section at Natural History Museum of Denmark (Statens Naturhistoriske Museum)
This is a fantastic new feature in iNaturalist - the more phenology annotations we make, the more we will understand plant species’ responses to global change.
Now you can annotate all iNaturalist observations of vascular plants to indicate evidence of leaf buds, leaves, seasonal color change, or no leaves! Each time you post an observation of a plant, additional data can be collected for the study of phenology—the timing of events like flowers, fruits, and leaf color change. Thank you to the thousands of people who have already helped annotate plant observations on iNaturalist! Read more: https://lnkd.in/emA4SeY3

Discover the fascinating journey of tannins under the microscope. Vegetable extracts and members of the polyphenol family, tannins are not just chemical compounds; they are a bridge between different species and kingdoms, acting as messengers of the plant world. These polyphenols boast unique properties, such as their role in stabilising animal proteins, modulating microbiota and reducing GHG emissions in the atmosphere. Learn more about the unparalleled benefits of tannins for plants, animals and humans, and how they contribute to protecting our forest heritage and promoting economic development in rural areas. Let’s appreciate the virtues of tannin together! Read the full article "Tannin under the microscope" here: https://lnkd.in/gtdY-bP #Tannins #Sustainability #Innovation #Science

RT: Lee Hickey - Our article “Satellite-enabled enviromics to enhance crop improvement” features on the cover of the new issue of Molecular Plant! 🌾 🌎 🛰️ Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gEzHHjd8 Congrats to the whole team, and thanks to Rafael Tassinari Resende and Yunbi Xu for leading the way! Lee Hickey Cibele H. Amaral Lucas L. Peixoto Gustavo E. Marcatti Yunbi Xu Abstract Enviromics refers to the characterization of micro- and macroenvironments based on large-scale environmental datasets. By providing genotypic recommendations with predictive extrapolation at a site-specific level, enviromics could inform plant breeding decisions across varying conditions and anticipate productivity in a changing climate. Enviromics-based integration of statistics, envirotyping (i.e., determining environmental factors), and remote sensing could help unravel the complex interplay of genetics, environment, and management. To support this goal, exhaustive envirotyping to generate precise environmental profiles would significantly improve predictions of genotype performance and genetic gain in crops. Already, informatics management platforms aggregate diverse environmental datasets obtained using optical, thermal, radar, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR)sensors that capture detailed information about vegetation, surface structure, and terrain. This wealth of information, coupled with freely available climate data, fuels innovative enviromics research. While enviromics holds immense potential for breeding, a few obstacles remain, such as the need for (1) integrative methodologies to systematically collect field data to scale and expand observations across the landscape with satellite data; (2) state-of-the-art AI models for data integration, simulation, and prediction; (3) cyberinfrastructure for processing big data across scales and providing seamless interfaces to deliver forecasts to stakeholders; and (4) collaboration and data sharing among farmers, breeders, physiologists, geoinformatics experts, and programmers across research institutions. Overcoming these challenges is essential for leveraging the full potential of big data captured by satellites to transform 21st century agriculture and crop improvement through enviromics. envirotyping, precision breeding, genotype–environment interactions, remote sensing, predictive models, enviromic information
