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... -
Crown rot of wheat in Australia: Fusarium pseudograminearum taxonomy, populat...
Fusarium pseudograminearum (Fp) causes crown rot (CR) on a wide range of winter cereals reducing yield and grain quality in Australia and worldwide. The broad range of host... -
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... -
BED-domain-containing immune receptors confer diverse resistance spectra to y...
Crop diseases reduce wheat yields by ~25% globally and thus pose a major threat to global food security1. Genetic resistance can reduce crop losses in the field and can be... -
Current and possible approaches for improving photosynthetic efficiency
One of the most important tasks laying ahead today’s biotechnology is to improve crop productivity with the aim of meeting increased food and energy demands of humankind. Plant... -
Fine mapping of Aegilops peregrina co-segregating leaf and stripe rust resist...
Aegilops peregrina, a wild tetraploid relative of wheat with genome constitution UUSS, displays genetic variation for resistance to leaf and stripe (yellow) rust. The wheat Ae.... -
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,... -
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 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... -
KnetMaps: a BioJS component to visualize biological knowledge networks
KnetMaps is a BioJS component for the interactive visualization of biological knowledge networks. It is well suited for applications that need to visualise complementary,... -
A roadmap for gene functional characterisation in wheat
Research in Arabidopsis and other model species has uncovered mechanisms regulating important biological processes in plants. With the advent of high quality functional genomic... -
RNAi as an emerging approach to control Fusarium head blight disease and myco...
Fusarium graminearum is a major fungal pathogen of cereals worldwide, causing seedling, stem base and floral diseases, including Fusarium head blight (FHB). In addition to yield... -
Increased pericarp cell length underlies a major quantitative trait locus for...
Crop yields must increase to address food insecurity. Grain weight, determined by grain length and width, is an important yield component, but our understanding of the... -
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... -
A modified sequence capture approach allowing standard and methylation analys...
Bread wheat has a large complex genome that makes whole genome resequencing costly. Therefore, genome complexity reduction techniques such as sequence capture make re-sequencing... -

Development of an Agrobacterium -delivered CRISPR/Cas9 system for wheat genom...
CRISPR/Cas9 has been widely used for genome editing in many organisms, including important crops like wheat. Despite the tractability in designing CRISPR/Cas9, efficacy in the... -
Development and characterization of wheat lines with increased levels of arab...
Improving the nutritional quality and health benefits of food has been of increasing interest globally over the last decade. Staple cereal foods are the major sources of dietary... -
Hotspots in the genomic architecture of field drought responses in wheat as b...
Wheat can adapt to most agricultural conditions across temperate regions. This success is the result of phenotypic plasticity conferred by a large and complex genome composed of...
