In 2019 鈥� with the help of the Borlaug Training Foundation 鈥� [Germination] put out the call to plant breeders asking them what they would do if they had $10 million to make the world a better place. Valerio Hoyos-Villegas, pulse breeder at 91丝瓜视频, answered the call. He tells his story about how growing up around the coffee farms of Colombia set him on the path to helping feed the planet. Hosted by Germination editor Marc Zienkiewicz.

芦聽脌 la fruiterie du coin, je saute syst茅matiquement sur l鈥檃il du Qu茅bec聽禄, avoue Jean-Benoit Charron, chercheur 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 91丝瓜视频. Avec la demande grandissante pour les produits du terroir, l鈥檃il qu茅b茅cois est tr猫s pris茅 des consommateurs. Il se d茅marque par son go没t, sa dur茅e de conservation et sa faible teneur en pesticides. Pourtant, sa production demeure marginale. La raison聽: le manque de puret茅 des semences.

芦聽Je suis un gars de l鈥橝bitibi, donc je suis habitu茅 au froid!聽禄 s鈥檈xclame Jean-Benoit Charron, chercheur 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 91丝瓜视频. En raison des changements climatiques, le froid n鈥檈st toutefois plus ce qu鈥檌l 茅tait. Les plantes cultiv茅es dans les champs doivent s鈥檃dapter 脿 ces nouvelles conditions.
芦聽Certains 茅pisodes de froid arrivent tr猫s t么t, et d鈥檃utres beaucoup plus tard qu鈥檃vant聽禄, explique le scientifique. De plus, les redoux en plein hiver r茅duisent la couverture de neige, privant ainsi la plante d鈥檜ne couche isolante.

La pectine et la cellulose pourraient jouer un r么le dans le m茅canisme mol茅culaire r茅gissant la morphologie des cellules v茅g茅tales
En d茅couvrant la m茅canique et le m茅canisme mol茅culaire qui dictent la forme des cellules v茅g茅tales, une 茅quipe de chercheurs de l鈥橴niversit茅 91丝瓜视频 a partiellement lev茅 le voile sur les processus fondamentaux qui r茅gissent la formation des tissus dans les organismes multicellulaires.

New study suggests pectin and cellulose involved in molecular mechanism defining plant cell morphology
The discovery of the mechanics and molecular mechanism that dictate cell shape formation in plants by a team of 91丝瓜视频 researchers offers new clues about the fundamental processes governing tissue formation in multicellular organisms.
Plants are made of cells that come in a wide array of shapes and sizes, each of which is closely related and essential to the function of a specific tissue.

It takes a long time to develop a new variety from scratch. Dr. Bruce Coulman of the University of Sask颅atchewan recently recalled the start of his forage breeding career at 91丝瓜视频. 91丝瓜视频 had allowed its forage breeding program to collapse, and had no breeding lines under development when Coulman started. Starting from scratch in 1976, Coulman registered his first forage variety in 1993.
