Global Effort Sows Seeds to Futureproof Wheat

Global effort sows seeds to futureproof wheat

Climate change and political instability could cripple global food security, but wheat researchers around the world are working together to prevent a crisis.

What Happens When the Genes we Need Don’t Want to Be Used?

Two young scientists are quietly rewriting the rules of plant breeding — not in the lab, but in the way they think about resilience, flavour, and the future of food. The battle begins where most people never look: inside a seed. Microscopic, quiet, and unyielding, it’s here that science meets survival. And for researchers Hannah Jeffery (a postdoc at Texas A&M University) and Gurminder Singh (PhD candidate at North Dakota State University) — a m…
