St. Louis has spent 25 years building an ecosystem where world-class science stays and grows. Here's how. 🔬 @stlmag
🌾 Read the full story from @omahanews1 to learn why now is the time to invest in crops like sorghum: danforthcenter.org/news/nebraska-… #PlantScience #Sorghum #Agriculture
Nebraska farmers are weighing a shift away from corn — and sorghum may be one of the smartest alternatives. Danforth Center scientist Andrea Eveland explains why this drought- and heat-resilient crop requires fewer inputs and is built for what's ahead.
Real-time crop stress monitoring. Soil sensors. Field environment data. The PheNode system is helping farmers adapt to a changing world — and Dr. @NadiaShakoor broke it all down for @KPLR11Fuller on @FOX2now: danforthcenter.org/news/agricultu… #PrecisionAgriculture #FoodSecurity
Read the release here: danforthcenter.org/news/short-sta…
New research! Danforth Center PI Erin Sparks & @Bayer4Crops used the SMURF device to show that shorter corn plants have more flexible roots — helping them take wind damage at less than half the rate of conventional corn. Watch the SMURF in action 👇
This month's On the Vine is here! If you don't already know, our monthly e-newsletter is the easiest way to follow along with all that's going on at the Center. 📨 Check out our latest issue and be sure to sign up today: conta.cc/3RczVRv #ScienceNews #PlantScience
From our FY26 New Investigators: Leading two sorghum projects, @NadiaShakoor will generate deep-soil DNA maps and a time-resolved activity dataset to support improved productivity and resilience. @DanforthCenter Full portfolio: jgi.doe.gov/user-science/s…
STL agtech startup @AgrelaEco just closed a $500K funding round and is scaling its PheNode® sensor platform nationally. It's now being used for everything from research to specialty crops to transportation infrastructure, and it started here in St. Louis: danforthcenter.org/news/agrela-ec…
Sabita Gyawali is our May Committee for Scientific Training and Mentoring Member of the Month! She studies plant-microbe interactions in the Bravo Lab and aims to eventually grow into a lead independent research role working on sustainable agriculture.
On a recent trip to the UK, Giles attended a meeting at @royalsociety, and joined @niabgroup for a panel on regenerative agriculture. He then headed to the @theNASciences annual meeting in DC.
Two prestigious academies. Two countries. One leader bridging them in service to plant science. Our President, Dr. Giles Oldroyd is among the few scientists elected to both the US @theNASciences and the UK's @royalsociety. 🧵
Dr. Ru Zhang is leading a DOE grant bringing together top research institutions to study sorghum photosynthesis, and the implications could shed light ☀️ on other crops, too—like maize, wheat, and rice: danforthcenter.org/news/danforth-…
There's a reason the world's leading food and ag companies call St. Louis home. And BRDG Park, located on the @DanforthCenter campus, sits at the heart of it all. rejournals.com/more-than-1-bi…
Danforth Center scientists are co-authors on a landmark study published today in @Nature: the first comprehensive sorghum pangenome. Breeding better sorghum varieties has always been limited by an incomplete picture of its genetic diversity—until now. danforthcenter.org/news/global-so…
901 curious minds showed up for PlantTech Jam 2026 to connect with Danforth Center scientists. Thanks to you, we had a blast! See the highlights and photos from the day: danforthcenter.org/news/planttech…
I'm running a booth at @DanforthCenter for the @ArchReactorSTL Maker Space!
Plants can indicate environmental hazards with color changes, a breakthrough that could transform agricultural practices. Researchers at the @DanforthCenter unlock keys to developing these plants. farmprogress.com/crops/tomorrow…
I am excited to share that my first-author paper from my PhD research is now published online in New Phytologist! You can read the article here: doi.org/10.1111/nph.70…. I would love to hear your thoughts.
