Jim Giovannoni @BTIscience introduces his work on exploration of wild tomato 🍅 varients to look for stress tolerance (salt/cold/heat) genes that can be integrated into economically relevant cultivars! #AABHort24
Great to hear AAB-event regular (and favourite) @ciaraobrien333 present her important PhD research that found current methods of assessment of mango 🥭quality aren't fit for purpose! 👀 Just published Postharvest Biology and Technology #AABHort24 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Day 2 of Hort Science: From Application to Discovery is supported by @Jhortscib We hear from Joanna Trewern @joanna_trewern Head of Research @ProVeg_UK @ProVeg_Int on why horticulture matters in the quest for nutritional security in the 🇬🇧 #AABHort24
Lindsay Williams @SBSatEd @SpoelLab presents her recently completed PhD research about a comparison of #postharvest gene expression in Arabidopsis, Broccoli, Rocket and Cabbage, discovering some conserved mechanisms of abiotic stress. #AABHort24
Tim Lang @ProfTimLang introduces the term 'Civil Food Resilience' as he is currently looking at the serious business of what would happen to UK food supply in a war? #AABHort24
As a pleasant interlude we took a walk around the greenhouse facilities @UniRdg_SAPD including a cool undergrad experiment on lettuce tipburn in high light and strawberry vertical growth in collab w @Vertical_Future @coco_peat #AABHort24
Katia Zacharaki @KatiaZacharaki introduces the new collaborative research that @Vertical_Future is conducting that is looking at the potential for growing 🍓 indoors! #AABHort24
@KatiaZacharaki @Vertical_Future Our @UniRdg_SAPD host Luke Bell @Luke_Bell_1987 provides an update on his @HortQFLNet project about the relevance of volatiles produced during heat stress! One thing they 100% learnt was that 40C with no irrigation will kill 🥔 😢 #AABHort24
Today we are at @UniofReading at 'Hort Science: From Discovery to Application' #AABHort24 Very interesting to hear from Graham Clarkson @EdwardVinsonLTD about the challenges of academic-industry partnership when strawberry breeding which takes 12 years!
