We are proud that Yelloway recently received a lot of publicity, like this article in NRC, a major newspaper in the Netherlands. The news is that our breeding-and-research for Yelloway has already resulted in the first prototype of the future Yelloway banana varieties with resistance to TR4 Fusarium Wilt and Black Sigatoka and Cavendish-like-traits for cultivation, transport, storage and consumption. Yelloway is an initiative of Chiquita, KeyGene and MusaRadix, and is supported by the advice of Wageningen University & Research.

Marco Schriek van, innovation expert in plant phenotyping at KeyGene, will participate in the 8th International Plant Phenotyping Symposium, in Nebraska, 7-11 October. No doubt that Marco will discuss his view on future technology innovation for autonomous phenotyping for crop improvement with peers during the event. This IPPS, themed "Green Horizons: Navigating the future of plant phenotyping" will again assemble a diverse community of scientists, including plant biologists, ecologists, engineers, agronomists, and computer scientists. https://lnkd.in/eGhhgRky Read more: recent post by KeyGene's Herco van Liere about phenotyping for plant breeding https://lnkd.in/dzS8EK3M

This week, Yelloway, the banana breeding initiative of Chiquita, KeyGene and MusaRadix, supported by advice from Wageningen University & Research, presented Yelloway One to the press. Yelloway One is the first 'prototype' of future Yelloway varieties. It is a triploid hybrid banana from the Yelloway breeding program. Yelloway One is resistant to the fungal disease Fusarium Tropical Race 4 (TR4) and partially resistant to Black Sigatoka.

KeyGene's Herco van Liere recently posted here on LinkedIn about his views on the role and perspectives of autonomous robotics in plant breeding. In his latest post, he gives a sneak peek into some of KeyGene's research on this subject.
As promised: Autonomous Robotics assisting Plant Breeders and Production. This is incredibly exciting and next level digital phenotyping, to complement genomics, in developing better plant varieties faster. Over the last 15 years the pioneers of this industry - including the team surrounding my colleague Marco van Schriek - have embraced the #abundant advancement and integration of #Vision, #AI, #Robotics and deep knowledge of plants, to boost breeding. Today we combine the best: Boston Dynamics, Leica Geosystems part of Hexagon, KeyGene technology & knowledge and our crop innovation partnerships. For greenhouse use, in tunnels and fields, these solutions are revolutionizing enhanced efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. In the snapshot of photos you see our team and our robot #Key9 in action at the soft fruit breeding company Edward Vinson. Thank you for trialing your #strawberry, #raspberry and #blueberry varieties for autonomous detailed 3D visioning! Stay tuned for more information to come.

It was an honor to sponsor the "Best posters awards" of the International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics (ISRFG2024) in Arkansas, USA. On congresses, early-career scientists often use posters to interact with colleague scientists about their work, ideas and passion. These poster awards are therefore a great opportunity to support talented rice researchers to further develop!
It was an honor to present the three poster prizes that KeyGene sponsored this year at the wonderful International Symposium on Rice Functional Genomics (ISRFG2024) together with Rod Wing and Yulin Jia. The best poster was awarded to Jessica Walnut, who studies the role of the heterotrimeric Gα subunit RGA1 in rice under drought stress. Congratulations again to her and the other two winners! I also congratulate the community on the 20th anniversary of the completed rice genome (IRGSP), the first crop genome to be sequenced. It was great to meet many researchers working on rice functional genomics, to hear about the recent progress and to see the rice fields in Arkansas, USA. #ISRFG2024 #RiceFunctionalGenomics

Alexander H.J. Wittenberg, genomics scientist at KeyGene's headquarters in the Netherlands, will give a presentation on the latest successes of KeyGene scientists in banana (pan)genomics during PAG Australia, in the workshop of Oxford Nanopore Technologies, on Wednesday, September 18. Alexander's presentation is titled "Unveiling the banana pangenome: A leap towards sustainable cultivation and enhanced disease resistance." The banana breeding of Yelloway, carried out by KeyGene, aiming for the development of resistant varieties, is one of the 'outlets' that will quickly use the new knowledge generated in this work on revealing and understanding genetic diversity in banana.
