Phenotypically Wild Barley Shows Evidence of Introgression From Domesticated Barley
Multiple studies have reported genetic evidence of crop-to-wild introgression in phenotypically wild accessions of wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum). We examined 318 Wild Barley Diversity...
Excited to share our new Molecular Ecology paper with @peterlmorrell.bsky.social, @chaochihl.bsky.social, & collaborators: phenotypically wild barley shows evidence of introgression from domesticated barley in the WBDC collection.

There is the obvious fraud potential, but I think something much more fundamental is going to happen, too. It will change the meaning of what a "research publication" is. The reason why people read papers is to learn something that they couldn't reproduce in seconds by pushing a few buttons.

New preprint from our group:
Phenotypic differentiation between highland and coastal quinoa under cold stress conditions
We use both field trials and lab experiments under controlled conditions to show that the two major quinoa ecotypes differ in adaptive traits.

Lesenswert! Bisher wenig genutzte Kulturarten wie #Quinoa, #Amaranth, Kichererbse, Linse, etc. sollen züchterisch besser erschlossen werden.
Unserem gut laufenden Quinoa-Züchtungsprojekt wurde vom Fachministerium gerade der Stecker gezogen.
Es fehlt eine langfristige Strategie für solche Arten.

I suspect that one of the reasons behind the widespread adoption of generative AI by faculty is that it gives people the illusion that they can still do the things they knew how to do as a postdoc. Gen AI is used as a poor substitute to maintaining core skills.

Not that this passes without being noticed: The GreenRobust cluster of excellence is officially alive since Jan 1, 2026! Looking forward to at least seven years of exciting science in the field of plant ecology, molecular biology, agriculture and the combination of all these fields. Stay tuned!

Last ski climb of the year of a nice 3100 m peak (Ferdener Rothorn in Lötschental 🇨🇭) with friends and family. Perfect conditions (except the snow) to let go of 2025.
I wish my followers a healthy, happy and peaceful year 2026!

Auch für mich eines der wichtigsten Bücher zum Nationalsozialismus während meiner Schulzeit. Es war leider nicht Teil des Unterrichts, ich bin zufällig in der Stadtbibliothek darauf gestoßen.

It should surprise no one that most contemporary scientists are woke. As far as I can tell, most of us are into improving the human condition, minimizing hardship across the board, empowering the underprivileged, and ensuring the prosperity of our society for the future.

I'm convinced large labs are a survival mechanism in a hypercompetitive funding environment. You need the critical mass to write the big papers that allow you to get the next round of funding. 1/2

No paper from me or my lab will ever be submitted to an MDPI journal - including any of their superfluous "special issues". I will very rarely (if ever) cite MDPI papers. And I will never review for them. deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/08/gues...
The same goes for FrontiersIn journals, among others.

Abbildung aus einer wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichung zur genetischen Vielfalt der Tomate.
Ganz so einfach ist es leider nicht.
Z.B. nimmt die genetische Vielfalt von Tomatensorten aus den Niederlanden durch gezielte Einkreuzungen wieder zu, das ist auch im Supermarkt zu sehen. Quelle: doi.org/10.3389/fpls...
Mehr Differenzierung und faktenbasiertes Argumentieren ist notwendig.

Schau an. Von offizieller Stelle würde so was derzeit wohl kaum veröffentlicht. Dabei haben diese jungen Journalisten nur öffentlich zugängliche Informationen ausgewertet. #Drohnen
