In June 2024 the Barley Team were all joined at AU-Flakkebjerg for two weeks. Three PhD students from Ethiopia had already stayed here for three months, when four colleagues from Ambo University, Haramaya University and EIAR joined. This gave a good opportunity to show ongoing lab activities related to barley embryo rescue and transformation of these with Agrobacterium (CRISPR/Cas9 construct) with the view also to transfer knowledge to Ethiopia. The two weeks also included student presentations to highlight the identified genes which will be edited, lectures and a Barley Team (management) meeting. Finally, field visits to Tystoftefonden and two breeding companies gave the broader perspective of the status of plant breeding in Denmark.
