Cereal friends, would you like to create your own evolutionary populations? </p><p>All it takes is time, ingenuity and land. French researchers Emma Flipon and Véronique Chable have made a handy-dandy poster showing how it is done (with links to lots more detail) The poster is at http://ow.ly/lXhu50F0RV9 </p><p>The work was part of the EU Liveseed project.
