Even basic seed germination can stand in the way of using crop wild relatives in breeding and agriculture.

A new Practice Abstract from Einav Mayzlish-Gati and her team at Volcani Institute shares protocols to overcome these hurdles.

This summer, a team from @inrae-france.bsky.social and the Conservatoire Botanique National de Corse explored Corsica to find wild Brassica relatives.

Such missions reveal how plants adapt to local climates and point to regions crucial for conserving genetic diversity.

Freshly sprouted wild beets, with small, tender leaves emerging from the soil.

Freshly sprouted wild beets, with small, tender leaves and red stalks emerging from the soil.

Two weeks after seeding, the wild beets for @projectpro-wild.bsky.social are sprouting at @bokuvienna.bsky.social Tulln. 🌱 Check out the vibrant red stalks – this is due to the action of betacyanins, the same pigments that give red beets their beautiful colour.
