Where are the drought tolerant crops? An assessment of more than two decades ...
Since the dawn of modern biotechnology public and private enterprise have pursued the development of a new breed of drought tolerant crop products. After more than 20 years of... -
Plant Genomics: Unlocking the Genome of Wheat’s Progenitor
The genome sequence and analysis of wheat’s progenitor provides a roadmap to enhance genomics-assisted breeding and improvement of modern wheat varieties. -
Calcium ameliorates the toxicity of sulfate salinity in Brassica rapa
Salinity stress in Brassica, often only associated with osmotic effects and the toxicity of Na+, was more severe when applied as Na2SO4 than as NaCl, indicating that SO42− ions... -
Earliness per se effects on developmental traits in hexaploid wheat grown und...
Earliness per se (Eps) genes are critical for fine-tuning flowering time and likely to modify other developmental traits as well. Effects of Eps alleles on components comprising... -
Canopy temperature for simulation of heat stress in irrigated wheat in a semi...
Even brief periods of high temperatures occurring around flowering and during grain filling can severely reduce grain yield in cereals. Recently, ecophysiological and crop... -
Physical robustness of canopy temperature models for crop heat stress simulat...
Despite widespread application in studying climate change impacts, most crop models ignore complex interactions among air temperature, crop and soil water status, CO2... -
How does inter-annual variability of attainable yield affect the magnitude of...
Provision of food security in the face of increasing global food demand requires narrowing of the gap between actual farmer's yield and maximum attainable yield. So far,... -
Characterisation of proteolytic enzymes of Eurygaster integriceps Put. (Sunn ...
Eurygaster integriceps (Sunn pest or Sunn bug) is one of the most significant pests of wheat and is responsible for substantial losses in yield and quality of wheat grain in... -
Shaping an Optimal Soil by Root–Soil Interaction
Crop production depends on the availability of water and mineral nutrients, and increased yields might be facilitated by a greater focus on roots–soil interactions. Soil... -
Designing future barley ideotypes using a crop model ensemble
Climate change and its associated higher frequency and severity of adverse weather events require genotypic adaptation. Process-based ecophysiological modelling offers a... -
Development of the GlutEnSeq capture system for sequencing gluten gene famili...
We developed an in-solution gluten exome capture system called GlutEnSeq (Gluten gene Enrichment and Sequencing), covering the sequence variation of thousands of prolamin genes... -
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... -
Next-Generation Sequencing Enabled Genetics in Hexaploid Wheat
Wheat is a major world food crop and its production needs to increase to meet future demand. However, having a large complex genome, the analysis of bread wheat is not without... -
Managing Acrylamide at the Agricultural Stage: Variety Selection, Crop Manage...
Acrylamide is a processing contaminant that forms from free asparagine and reducing sugars, such as glucose, fructose and maltose, during high-temperature cooking and... -
Global Journeys of Adaptive Wheat Genes
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is grown across a wide range of environments having been selected in part for a complex of genes controlling adaptive response. As a major... -
UK researchers receive prestigious award for work on wheat genomics
Joseph Rank (1854–1943) was a Yorkshire miller who revolutionised the UK wheat milling industry in mid-1880s. He introduced roller milling from Central Europe and steam power... -
Duration of developmental phases, and dynamics of leaf appearance and tilleri...
Variation in photoperiod sensitivity in wheat plays a major role in the crop adaptation to wide agronomic environments. Photoperiod insensitivity is provided by Ppd-Aa, Ppd-B1a... -
