In the last 20 years, stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), has re-emerged as a major threat to wheat and barley production in Africa and... -
Accounting for heterogeneity in the θ–σ relationship: Application to wheat ph...
Geophysical methods, such as electromagnetic induction (EMI), can be effective for monitoring changes in soil moisture at the field scale, particularly in agricultural... -
Future agroclimatic conditions and implications for European grasslands
Grasslands play a significant role in livestock fodder production and thus, contribute to food security worldwide while providing numerous additional ecosystem services.... -
Editorial: CRISPR-Cas in Agriculture: Opportunities and Challenges
CRISPR-Cas genome editing technology is developing at a rapid pace and new molecular tools, such as CRISPR nucleases, are becoming regularly available. -
Wheat with greatly reduced accumulation of free asparagine in the grain, prod...
Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide, which forms during the baking, toasting and high-temperature processing of foods made from wheat. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was... -
Gene‐based mapping of trehalose biosynthetic pathway genes reveals associatio...
Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) signalling regulates carbon use and allocation and is a target to improve crop yields. However, the specific contributions of trehalose phosphate... -
Dissection of environmental and physiological effects on the temperature diff...
Temperature of a plant organ constitutes an integrative index to its eco-physiological properties and status. However, little attempt has been made to dissect the combined... -
KnetMiner: a comprehensive approach for supporting evidence‐based gene discov...
The generation of new ideas and scientific hypotheses is often the result of extensive literature and database searches, but, with the growing wealth of public and private... -
Remarkable recent changes in the genetic diversity of the avirulence gene Avr...
Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most economically important diseases of wheat. Recently, both factors of a gene-for-gene... -
Exploring the diversity of promoter and 5’UTR sequences in ancestral, histori...
A dataset of promoter and 5’UTR sequences of homoeo-alleles of 495 wheat genes that contribute to agriculturally important traits in 95 ancestral and commercial wheat cultivars... -
Pan-European multi-crop model ensemble simulations of wheat and grain maize u...
The simulated data set described in this paper was created by an ensemble of nine different crop models: HERMES (HE), Simplace<Lintul5,Slim3, FAO-56 ET0> (L5),... -
Rapid Generation and Analysis of a Barley Doubled Haploid Line with Higher Ni...
Creating varieties with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is crucial for sustainable agriculture development. In this study, a superior barley doubled haploid line (named DH45)... -
Effect of Intake of Food Hydrocolloids of Bacterial Origin on the Glycemic Re...
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood glucose levels from dysfunctional carbohydrate metabolism. Dietary intervention can help to prevent and... -
Identifying aphid resistance in the ancestral wheat Triticum monococcum under...
AbstractWheat is an economically, socially, and nutritionally important crop, however, aphid infestation can often reduce wheat yield through feeding and virus transmission.... -
Reduced free asparagine in wheat grain resulting from a natural deletion of T...
Abstract Background Understanding the determinants of free asparagine concentration in wheat grain is necessary to reduce levels of the processing contaminant acrylamide in... -
Local impacts of climate change on winter wheat in Great Britain
Under future CMIP5 climate change scenarios for 2050, an increase in wheat yield of about 10% is predicted in Great Britain (GB) as a result of the combined effect of CO 2... -
Wheat ATIs: Characteristics and Role in Human Disease
Amylase/trypsin-inhibitors (ATIs) comprise about 2–4% of the total wheat grain proteins and may contribute to natural defense against pests and pathogens. However, they are... -
Distinct Life Histories Impact Dikaryotic Genome Evolution in the Rust Fungus...
Abstract Stripe rust of wheat, caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, is a major threat to wheat production worldwide with an estimated... -
