Epigenetic switch reveals CRISPR/Cas9 response to cytosine methylation in plants
Genome editing techniques, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system, offer a game-changing opportunity for crop improvement by enabling precise modifications to be made at targeted... -
Effect of high molecular weight glutenin subunit Dy10 on wheat dough properti...
High-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are the most critical grain storage proteins that determine the unique processing quality of wheat. Although it is part of the... -
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... -
A novel light interception trait of a hybrid rice ideotype indicative of leaf...
One of the major challenges facing rice breeding is to produce ideotype or ideal plant architecture (IPA) to improve canopy radiation use efficiency and hence grain yield. The... -
The rise of necrotrophic effectors
Many biotrophic pathogens, which require living plant tissues for colonization, interact with their hosts in a gene-for-gene (GFG) manner whereby plant disease resistance (R)... -
Differentiated function and localisation of SPO11-1 and PRD3 on the chromosom...
During meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) occur throughout the genome, a subset of which are repaired to form reciprocal crossovers between chromosomes. Crossovers are... -
Loss of chromatin remodeler DDM1 causes segregation distortion in Arabidopsis...
Segregation distortion (SD) is common in most genetic mapping experiments and a valuable resource to determine how gene loci induce deviation. Meiotic DNA crossing over and SD... -
Integration of embryo–endosperm interaction into a holistic and dynamic pictu...
Interaction between the embryo and endosperm affects seed development, an essential process in yield formation in crops such as rice. Signals that mediate communication between... -
Advances in Barley Breeding for Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Crop breeding for high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) or tolerance to low nitrogen fertilization is thought to be an ideal solution to reduce the cost, carbon footprint, and... -
Simulation of winter wheat response to variable sowing dates and densities in...
Abstract Crop multi-model ensembles (MME) have proven to be effective in increasing the accuracy of simulations in modelling experiments. However, the ability of MME to capture... -
Loss of starch synthase IIIa changes starch molecular structure and granule m...
AbstractStarch synthase III plays a key role in starch biosynthesis and is highly expressed in developing wheat grains. To understand the contribution of SSIII to starch and... -
Localized nutrient supply can facilitate root proliferation and increase nitr...
Soil compaction constrains root growth and crop yield. Previous studies have shown that localized nutrient supply can significantly improve maize plant growth in field... -
FANCM promotes class I interfering crossovers and suppresses class II non-int...
AbstractFANCM suppresses crossovers in plants by unwinding recombination intermediates. In wheat, crossovers are skewed toward the chromosome ends, thus limiting generation of... -
Changes in the concentrations and transcripts for gibberellins and other horm...
Abstract Background Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major source of nutrition globally, but yields can be seriously compromised by water limitation. Redistribution of... -
A robust KASP marker for selection of four pairs of linked leaf rust and stri...
Stripe rust and leaf rust are among the most devastating diseases of wheat, limiting its production globally. Wheat wild relatives harbour genetic diversity for new genes and... -

Variation in the Content and Composition of Tocols in a Wheat Population
Wheat is a well-known source of B vitamins but also contains significant amounts of vitamin E and related tocols, which have a number of positive health benefits. However, there... -
Genetic Diversity in Nitrogen Fertiliser Responses and N Gas Emission in Mode...
Crops assimilate nitrogen (N) as ammonium via the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase (GS/GOGAT) pathway which is of central importance for N uptake and potentially... -
Evaluation of the susceptibility of modern, wild, ancestral, and mutational w...
Globally, bread wheat production is threatened by fungal diseases, including the devastating disease Septoria tritici blotch (STB). Given the global importance of STB, and the... -
Characterisation of Grains and Flour Fractions from Field Grown Transgenic Oi...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staple crops in the world and is used to prepare a range of foods. The development of new varieties with wider variation in...
