Yesterday we had a celebration for our leader Dr. Jesse Poland. Thank you, Jesse, for all of your contributions to K-State, global wheat improvement and most importantly mentoring so many scientists. It was great to have everyone all together again!
The Wheat Genetics lab had a successful graduation weekend! Congratulations to doctoral graduates
@EmilyDelorean, Mokhlesur Rahman, and @pausilva_poli. Also, congratulations to undergraduate researcher @kc_kerp for receiving her B.S in Agronomy!
She came to us as a @FulbrightPrgrm fellow, and is leaving Dr. @pausilva_poli. Congratulations! Defense passed!
Published today in @Nature our team in collaboration w/ the 10 Genomes+ project announced the complete genome sequencing of 15 #wheat varieties representing breeding programs around the world
