What he breaks are genes involved in seed germination. Reed, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California, Davis, is investigating whether changing those genes can help seeds establish healthy plants under a wider range of conditions. Reed recently attended the National Association for Plant Breeding meeting in College Station, Texas, as an NAPB Borlaug Scholar. His work speaks to a question that matters well beyond a research lab: what does it take for a seed to get a crop off to a strong start? A seed that germinates quickly, alongside the others planted with it, spends less time vulnerable to stresses before seedlings become established. “If you’re able to bridge that gap between germination to stand establishment, then that’s going to give you the highest probability of having a solid yield that year,” Reed https://www.farms.com/commentaries/can-gene-editing-give-seeds-a-stronger-start-247886.aspx NEWS_247886 Wed, 07 Oct 2026 11:38:45 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/247886_thumb.jpg https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/247886_thumb.jpg 40 40 Wheat harvest and a hand slice. | | Millionaire Farmer https://www.farms.com/commentaries/wheat-harvest-and-a-hand-slice-247885.aspx NEWS_247885 Wed, 07 Oct 2026 11:31:41 GMT https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/247885_thumb.png https://images1.farms.com/farms-production-images/Portals/0/Images/News/247885_thumb.png 40 40 Wheat is done.

Brian Rossnagel believes the better question is whether the country can afford to rebuild it. The longtime barley and oat breeder makes the case with a simple fact about his profession: the consequences of today’s decisions may not become visible for 10 or 15 years. “Pick the right parents. That’s the biggest thing,” Rossnagel says. “If you pick the wrong parents, you’re not going to get anywhere—and you don’t know that until 10 years, 15 years later.” That warning carries particular weight as Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada moves to reduce spending and streamline parts of its science operations. The department’s 2026–27 plan anticipates the loss of approximately 665 positions by 2028–29 and says some research will be reduced where capacity exists in academia or industry. AAFC says the changes will make its science operations more cost-effective over the long term.
