Breeding crops to feed 10 billion
Crop improvements can help us to meet the challenge of feeding a population of 10 billion, but can we breed better varieties fast enough? Technologies such as genotyping,... -
Increased and ectopic expression of<i>Triticum polonicum VRT-A2</i>underlies ...
AbstractFlower development is a major determinant of yield in crops. In wheat, natural variation for the size of spikelet and floral organs is particularly evident inTriticum... -
Remarkable recent changes in genetic diversity of the avirulence gene AvrStb6...
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... -
A Cytological Analysis of Wheat Meiosis Targeted by Virus-Induced Gene Silenc...
Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a rapid and cost-effective reverse genetic technology that can be used to assess gene function in wheat. This chapter contains a detailed... -
Virus-mediated transient expression techniques enable genetic modification of...
AbstractEven though considerable progress has been made in weed ecology, weed molecular biology has been hindered by an inability to genetically manipulate weeds. Genetic... -
Breeding a fungal gene into wheat
Every year, infection of wheat by the fungus Fusarium graminearum results in losses of ∼28 million metric tons of wheat grain, valued at $5.6 billion. The fungus reduces yields... -
High-throughput estimation of crop traits: A review of ground and aerial phen...
Crop yields need to be improved in a sustainable manner to meet the expected worldwide increase in population over the coming decades as well as the effects of anticipated... -
High post-anthesis temperature effects on bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) ...
Abstract Background: High post-anthesis (p.a) temperatures reduce mature grain weight in wheat. However, the causes of this reduction are not entirely known. Control of grain... -
A modular cloning toolkit for genome editing in plants
CRISPR/Cas has recently become a widely used genome editing tool in various organisms, including plants. Applying CRISPR/Cas often requires delivering multiple expression units... -
New modelling technique for improving crop model performance - Application to...
Crop models simulate growth and development and they are often used for climate change applications. However, they have a variable skill in the simulation of crop responses to... -
The vesicular trafficking system component MIN7 is required for minimizing Fu...
Plants have developed intricate defense mechanisms, referred to as innate immunity, to defend themselves against a wide range of pathogens. Plants often respond rapidly to... -

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... -
The transcriptional landscape of polyploid wheat
The coordinated expression of highly related homoeologous genes in polyploid species underlies the phenotypes of many of the world’s major crops. Here we combine extensive gene... -
Speed breeding is a powerful tool to accelerate crop research and breeding
The growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops... -
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,... -
Shifting the limits in wheat research and breeding using a fully annotated re...
An annotated reference sequence representing the hexaploid bread wheat genome in 21 pseudomolecules has been analyzed to identify the distribution and genomic context of coding... -
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... -
