Reviving Bentley Rye
Eric discusses the challenges faced in germinating Bentley rye seeds, emphasizing the importance of hormones like gibberellic acid in the process. Despite initial setbacks, the focus shifts to extracting and sequencing the DNA from the seeds, which holds the key to reverse engineering the Bentley rye genome using modern breeding techniques. This innovative approach aims to hybridize with contemporary rye varieties to revive this unique strain for cultivation in Michigan.In this clip
