It occurs when grains begin to germinate on the plant before harvest due to environmental triggers like moisture and humidity, combined with genetic factors such as low seed dormancy. This premature sprouting degrades starch, reducing grain quality and leading to significant economic losses鈥攅stimated at $1 billion globally, and $100 million annually in Canada.</p> Wed, 24 Sep 2025 17:44:13 +0000 admin 76802 at /plant /plant/channels/news/climate-science-community-wellness-and-career-inspiration-2025-john-abbott-sustainability-through-365322 <p>On April 11, 2025, over聽60 people gathered at the annual John Abbott Sustainability Through Science Symposium聽to hear how the research of three Macdonald Campus graduate students contributes to a more sustainable future.
