Hot on the heels of the IRRI opportunity, here’s another genebank job. This is one is very different, running the mainly in vitro collections of the Pacific Community. Great people, great place, great job.
Rice opportunities redux
The week that the world’s greatest rice research resource is published also sees the opening of the position running the world’s greatest rice genebank. Coincidence?
LATER: A slightly amended description for the IRRI genebank job is out, and the deadline has been extended. You’re still in with a chance.
It’s a peanut, but not as we know it
Wheat landraces centre stage
The program for the 1st International Conference of Wheat Landraces is out and it looks fab. There are about 95,000 wheat landraces recorded in Genesys.
Lots to play around with.
So much variation in #Durum Reference Collection.. how many PhDs will take to study it all? @ICARDA_CGIAR @WheatInitiative @CropWildRelativ pic.twitter.com/SUTCVFkwZJ
