Mini-Foxtail Millet

It’s even smaller than mini-maize!

Developed by Xianmin Diao at CAAS and growing just outside of Beijing, China

Just got back from a two week visit to China that let me catch up with a lot of old friends and collaborators as well as hopefully making a few important new connections.

Five cities (Shanghai, Tai’an, Wuhan, Chengdu, and CAAS) and seven presentations in fourteen days. And classes start on Monday.

  2. Thanks! Unfortunately I didn’t make it far enough south this visit. I think Wuhan was probably the closest of the cities I visited to Guangzhou. Maybe on my next visit to China.
