Plant adaptation to nutrient stress
Mineral nutrients absorbed in the inorganic form are indispensable for plant growth and development. The various processes underlying yield formation in crops such as biomass... -
Adverse Reactions to Wheat or Wheat Components
Wheat is an important staple food globally, providing a significant contribution to daily energy, fiber, and micronutrient intake. Observational evidence for health impacts of... -
Understanding the Relationships between Free Asparagine in Grain and Other Tr...
Since the discovery of acrylamide in food, and the identification of free asparagine as the key determinant of acrylamide concentration in wheat products, our understanding of... -
Transcription factor retention through multiple polyploidisation steps in wheat
SummaryWhole genome duplication (WGD) is widespread in plant evolutionary history, but the mechanisms of non-random gene loss after WGD are debated. The gene balance hypothesis... -
Ensembl Genomes 2022: an expanding genome resource for non-vertebrates
Abstract Ensembl Genomes (https://www.ensemblgenomes.org) provides access to non-vertebrate genomes and analysis complementing vertebrate resources developed by the Ensembl... -
PHI-base in 2022: a multi-species phenotype database for Pathogen–Host Intera...
Abstract Since 2005, the Pathogen–Host Interactions Database (PHI-base) has manually curated experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from fungal,... -
Effectiveness of using representative subsets of global climate models in fut...
AbstractRepresentative subsets of global climate models (GCMs) are often used in climate change impact studies to account for uncertainty in ensemble climate projections.... -
Disruption of the Nα-Acetyltransferase NatB Causes Sensitivity to Reductive S...
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the evolutionary conserved N-terminal acetyltransferase (Nat) complexes NatA and NatB co-translationally acetylate 60% of the proteome. Both have... -
ENHANCED GRAVITROPISM 2 encodes a STERILE ALPHA MOTIF-containing protein that...
Significance To date, the potential of utilizing root traits in plant breeding remains largely untapped. In this study, we cloned and characterized the ENHANCED... -
A Duplicated Copy of the Meiotic Gene ZIP4 Preserves up to 50% Pollen Viabili...
Although most flowering plants are polyploid, little is known of how the meiotic process evolves after polyploidisation to stabilise and preserve fertility. On wheat... -
A novel approach to develop wheat chromosome-specific KASP markers for detect...
ABSTRACTMany wild relative species are being used in pre-breeding programmes to increase the genetic diversity of wheat. Genotyping tools such as single nucleotide polymorphism... -
Trend, Population Structure and Trait Mapping from 15 Years of National Varie...
ABSTRACTThere are now a rich variety of genomic and genotypic resources available to wheat researchers and breeders. However, the generation of high-quality and field-relevant... -
Wheat root systems as a breeding target for climate resilience
AbstractIn the coming decades, larger genetic gains in yield will be necessary to meet projected demand, and this must be achieved despite the destabilizing impacts of climate... -
The membrane-localized protein kinase MAP4K4/TOT3 regulates thermomorphogenesis
AbstractPlants respond to mild warm temperature conditions by increased elongation growth of organs to enhance cooling capacity, in a process called thermomorphogenesis. To this... -
Genome-wide association mapping identifies yellow rust resistance loci in Eth...
Durum wheat is an important cereal grown in Ethiopia, a country which is also its center for genetic diversity. Yellow (stripe) rust caused by Puccinia striiformis fsp tritici... -
Increased and ectopic expression of Triticum polonicum VRT-A2 underlies elong...
Flower development is a major determinant of yield in crops. In wheat, natural variation for the size of spikelet and floral organs is particularly evident in Triticum... -
Feeding the future: developing the skills landscape in the agri‐food sector
The agri-food sector and supply chain is a foundational component of society and is required for healthy populations across the globe. Feeding the world, not only with enough... -
Crossover-active regions of the wheat genome are distinguished by DMC1, the c...
The hexaploid bread wheat genome comprises over 16 gigabases of sequence across 21 chromosomes. Meiotic crossovers are highly polarized along the chromosomes, with elevation in... -
Methodology to assess the changing risk of yield failure due to heat and drou...
While the understanding of average impacts of climate change on crop yields is improving, few assessments have quantified expected impacts on yield distributions and the risk of... -
Distribution of <i>Puccinia striiformis</i> f. sp. <i>tritici</i> Races and V...
Stripe rust, caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a major threat to wheat (Triticum spp.) production worldwide. The objective of this study was...
