Graphics fill of statistics on the efficiency or in efficiency of cars

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?

Multi-population GWAS detects robust marker associations in a newly established six-rowed winter barley breeding program - Heredity Heredity - Multi-population GWAS detects robust marker associations in a newly established six-rowed winter barley breeding program

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

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Using Applied Quantitative Genetics to Uncover the Potential of Diversity-Enriched Wheat. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joi... For over a decade NIAB has been creating ‘diversity-enriched’ wheat with the aim of targeting the diversity bottleneck in modern cultivars. One route to diversity is Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat (SHW), f...

The next IGWSC webinar will take place on 4th of Dec with Tally Wright from @niab-uk.bsky.social to explore diversity-enriched wheat populations for genomic prediction to help breeders improve wheat cultivars.
