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—estimated at $1 billion globally, and $100 million annually in Canada.</p> Wed, 24 Sep 2025 17:44:13 +0000 admin 213740 at /macoutreach Lister Family Engaged Science Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition /macoutreach/channels/event/lister-family-engaged-science-three-minute-thesis-3mt-competition-332979 <p>Since 2017, the <a href="/macoutreach/science-communication">Lister Family Engaged Science Initiative</a> has supported the Lister Family Engaged Science Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition. </p> Wed, 30 Apr 2025 20:45:16 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 58483 at /macoutreach Activity Booklet: Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall! - 2025 edition /macoutreach/channels/event/activity-booklet-goodbye-summer-hello-fall-2024-edition-333609 <p>The <a href="/macoutreach/">Office of Experiential Learning and Community Outreach</a> in collaboration with the Sonia Bujold Initiative and Let’s Talk Science at Թ, has put together a lovely <strong>free onlin</strong></p> Wed, 30 Apr 2025 20:45:16 +0000 megan.liley@mcgill.ca 58485 at /macoutreach Climate science, community wellness, and career inspiration at the 2025 John Abbott Sustainability Through Science Symposium /macoutreach/channels/news/climate-science-community-wellness-and-career-inspiration-2025-john-abbott-sustainability-through-365322 <p>On April 11, 2025, over 60 people gathered at the annual John Abbott Sustainability Through Science Symposium to hear how the research of three Macdonald Campus graduate students contributes to a more sustainable future.
