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... -
A breeding strategy targeting the secondary gene pool of bread wheat: introgr...
The continued expansion of the world population and the likely onset of climate change combine to form a major crop breeding challenge. Genetic advances in most crop species to... -

Characterization of an antimicrobial and phytotoxic ribonuclease secreted by ...
The fungus Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria Tritici Blotch (STB) disease of wheat leaves. Zymoseptoria tritici secretes many functionally uncharacterized... -
The Complete Genome Sequence of the Phytopathogenic Fungus Sclerotinia sclero...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus with over 400 hosts including numerous economically important cultivated species. This contrasts many economically... -
The effect of microbial activity on soil water diffusivity
In this study, we explored the effects of microbial activity on the evaporation of water from cores of a sandy soil under laboratory conditions. We applied treatments to... -
The adaptation of Fusarium culmorum to DMI Fungicides Is Mediated by Major Tr...
Fusarium culmorum is a fungal pathogen causing economically important diseases on a variety of crops. Fungicides can be applied to control this species with triazoles being the... -
Transcriptional response of rice flag leaves to restricted external phosphoru...
Plant phosphorus (P) remobilisation during leaf senescence has fundamental implications for global P cycle fluxes. Hypothesising that genes involved in remobilisation of P from... -
