Highlights
The Double-Edged Sword of Whole-Genome Duplication: Applying Evolutionary Insights to Crop Optimization
Levi Yant, Professor of Genetics at SLU gave a lecture on whole-genome duplication in plants. Professor Yant showed how his lab combines cytology, pangenomics, and functional genetics to predict and enhance recombination stability.
Exploring the Genetic Consequences of Clear-Cut-Free Forestry
Clear-cut-free (CCF) forestry is increasingly promoted as a sustainable alternative to even-aged management, yet its long-term genetic implications remain poorly understood.
Breeding 360
On 6-7 May 2025, the SLU Breeding Network held its meeting titled Breeding 360: Collaboration across disciplines at Campus Ultuna.
