In this podcast, we chat with InterGrain Research Officer Hannah Robinson. Not too long ago she completed her PhD at the University of Queensland (which was funded by GRDC), looking primarily at identifying the genes controlling root architecture in barley. Some significant discoveries were made during this time, including identifying a key gene in barley that enables the plant to access water stored deep in the soil during droughts. Hannah shares how this discovery was made and the potential impacts. She also discusses her work at InterGrain, sharing how she tries to ensure crop traits discovered through research can be incorporated into new varieties. Music: bensound.com
