Wheat ATIs: Characteristics and Role in Human Disease
Amylase/trypsin-inhibitors (ATIs) comprise about 2–4% of the total wheat grain proteins and may contribute to natural defense against pests and pathogens. However, they are... -
Molecular Diversity within a Mediterranean and European Panel of Tetraploid W...
High-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) molecular markers are widely used to assess the genetic variability of plant varieties and cultivars, which is nowadays... -
Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency Through Overexpression of Alanine Aminotran...
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants, but crop plants are inefficient in the acquisition and utilization of applied nitrogen. This often results in producers over... -
Mapping Agronomic and Quality Traits in Elite Durum Wheat Lines under Differi...
Final grain production and quality in durum wheat are affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. The association mapping (AM) approach is useful for dissecting the genetic control... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Relating to Flowering Time, Flag Le...
Tetraploid landraces of wheat harbour genetic diversity that could be introgressed into modern bread wheat with the aid of marker-assisted selection to address the genetic... -
A Neural Network Method for Classification of Sunlit and Shaded Components of...
(1) Background: Information rich hyperspectral sensing, together with robust image analysis, is providing new research pathways in plant phenotyping. This combination... -
Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria on the Growth of Wheat Seedlings Su...
Certain phosphorous solubilizing (PSB) and phosphorous mineralizing (PMB) bacteria may improve plant growth by improving nutrient availability. The aim of this work was to... -
Comparative Genomics and Functional Studies of Wheat BED-NLR Loci
Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) receptors (NLRs) with non-canonical integrated domains (NLR-IDs) are widespread in plant genomes. Zinc-finger BED (named after the... -
Developing a High-Throughput SNP-Based Marker System to Facilitate the Introg...
The genus Aegilops contains a diverse collection of wild species exhibiting variation in geographical distribution, ecological adaptation, ploidy and genome organisation.... -
Novel Sources of Variation in Grain Yield, Components and Mineral Traits Iden...
Salt-affected soils constrain wheat production globally. A wild wheat species, Thinopyrum bessarabicum (Savul. & Rayss) Á. Löve (Poaceae), and its derivatives are tolerant... -
Trehalose 6-phosphate signalling and impact on crop yield
The domestication and breeding of crops has been a major achievement for mankind enabling the development of stable societies and civilisation. Crops have become more productive... -
Mutagenesis of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici and Selection of Gain-of-Viru...
Wheat stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is regaining prominence due to the recent emergence of virulent isolates and epidemics in Africa,... -
CRISPR-Cas9 Multiplex Editing of the α-Amylase/Trypsin Inhibitor Genes to Red...
Wheat and its derived foods are widespread, representing one of the main food sources globally. During the last decades, the incidence of disorders related to wheat has become a... -
Mapping Coeliac Toxic Motifs in the Prolamin Seed Storage Proteins of Barley,...
Wheat gluten, and related prolamin proteins in rye, barley and oats cause the immune-mediated gluten intolerance syndrome, coeliac disease. Foods labelled as gluten-free which... -
The Sulphur Response in Wheat Grain and Its Implications for Acrylamide Forma...
Free (soluble, non-protein) asparagine concentration can increase many-fold in wheat grain in response to sulphur deficiency. This exacerbates a major food safety and regulatory... -
Impacts of G x E x M on Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Wheat and Future Prospects
Globally it has been estimated that only one third of applied N is recovered in the harvested component of grain crops. This represents an incredible waste of resource and the... -
Evidence That Phosphorylation of the α-Subunit of eIF2 Does Not Essentially I...
A mechanism based on reversible phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) has been confirmed as an important regulatory pathway for the... -
Genome Sequence of Fusarium graminearum Strain CML3066, Isolated from a Wheat...
Fusarium graminearum is a global fungal pathogen of wheat and other small grains, causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease, also known as wheat scab. We report here the... -
High post-anthesis temperature effects on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ...
Abstract Background: High post-anthesis (p.a) temperatures reduce mature grain weight in wheat. However, the causes of this reduction are not entirely known. Control of grain... -
Development of Wheat-Aegilops caudata Introgression Lines and Their Character...
Aegilops caudata L. [syn. Ae. markgrafii (Greuter) Hammer], is a diploid wild relative of wheat (2n = 2x = 14, CC) and a valuable source for new genetic diversity for wheat...
