Addressing challenges for barley production and utilisation in the 21st Century
Although barley falls far behind the “big three” cereals (maize, rice and wheat) in total global production it is one of the most widely grown cereals in the world, being grown... -
Enhanced Plant Rooting and Crop System Management for Improved N Use Efficiency
Despite the significant inroads into increasing agricultural productivity in recent decades, nitrogen remains a key limiting factor for crop growth and yield. Though highly... -
Genotypic differences in wheat yield determinants within a NAM population bas...
Future grain yield (GY) improvements require the identification of beneficial traits within the context of high yield potential and not just based on the pleiotropic effect of... -
A Roadmap for Lowering Crop Nitrogen Requirement
Increasing nitrogen fertilizer applications have sustained a growing world population in the 20th century. However, to avoid any further associated environmental damage, new... -
Field Phenotyping for the Future
Global agricultural production has to double by 2050 to meet the demands of an increasing population and the challenges of a changing climate. Plant phenomics (the... -
New modelling technique for improving crop model performance - Application to...
Crop models simulate growth and development and they are often used for climate change applications. However, they have a variable skill in the simulation of crop responses to... -
Food processing and breeding strategies for coeliac-safe and healthy wheat pr...
A strict gluten-free diet is currently the only treatment for the 1-2% of the world population who suffer from coeliac disease (CD). However, due to the presence of wheat and... -
Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding
The growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops... -
Developmental responses of bread wheat to changes in ambient temperature foll...
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is a central integrator of environmental signals that regulates the timing of vegetative to reproductive transition in flowering plants. In model plants,... -
Evaluation of the prebiotic potential of arabinoxylans extracted from wheat d...
Distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) is a low-value agro-industrial by-product, rich in arabinoxylans (AX), which is produced by commercial distillery and bioethanol... -

Development and characterisation of protein films derived from dried distille...
Polymer films were developed utilising proteins extracted from wheat distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and in-process samples (wet solids), both by-products of... -
Crop model improvement reduces the uncertainty of the response to temperature...
To improve climate change impact estimates and to quantify their uncertainty, multi-model ensembles (MMEs) have been suggested. Model improvements can improve the accuracy of... -
Barley lys3 mutants are unique amongst shrunken-endosperm mutants in having a...
Many shrunken endosperm mutants of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) have been described and several of these are known to have lesions in starch biosynthesis genes. Here we confirm... -
Are GM Crops for Yield and Resilience Possible?
Crop yield improvements need to accelerate to avoid future food insecurity. Outside Europe, genetically modified (GM) crops for herbicide- and insect-resistance have been... -
A novel gibberellin promotes seedling establishment
A previously unknown biologically active gibberellin present in seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana is formed by hydration of the gibberellin precursor GA12 through the action of... -

Advances in sorghum and millet research special issue
Although sorghum and millets (which comprise a number of species) are only fifth and sixth, respectively, in terms of global production (after maize, rice, wheat and barley),... -
The uncertainty of crop yield projections is reduced by improved temperature ...
Increasing the accuracy of crop productivity estimates is a key element in planning adaptation strategies to ensure global food security under climate change. Process-based crop... -
