Robbie Waugh welcomes delegates to the 15th Barley Away Days! #barleyad26
We recently published a first story on combining spatial and single cell transcriptomics in barley (see here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...)
Lets go for the next level now, i.e. understanding gene networks and barley meristem development in 4D!

Using machine learning & paleoclimate data, many plants linked to early farming were less widespread during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition. They were concentrated in specific refugial areas This helps us understand early human plant use & domestication.

Wild barley handles drought better for a reason
Pan et al. identifies an 8-bp promoter deletion in HvNF-YB7 that enhances drought-induced expression and strengthens glutathione-based ROS detoxification via HvGSTF13.1.

bsd1, a locus controlling seed dormancy break specifically triggered by machine threshing. Lines carrying bsd1 retain strong PHS resistance, yet lose dormancy after mechanical threshing. bsd1 (2H) explains ~65% of variation in threshing-induced germination.

Transcription factors (IDD5 in wheat and SDW3 in barley) interact with DELLA proteins to regulate how gibberellin controls stem and leaf growth. This helps explain how plants integrate environmental and developmental signals to optimise growth.
