Comparative compositions of metabolites and dietary fibre components in dough...
Wholemeal flours from blends of bread wheat, emmer and spelt were processed into bread using yeast-based and sourdough fermentation. The bread wheat flour contained... -
Diffuse water pollution during recent extreme wet-weather in the UK: Environm...
Periods of extreme wet-weather elevate agricultural diffuse water pollutant loads and climate projections for the UK suggest wetter winters. Within this context, we monitored... -
Exploiting genomics to improve the benefits of wheat: Prospects and limitations
Conventional breeding has been immensely successful in increasing crop production to meet the demands of the growing global population, particularly for wheat where production... -
Localisation of iron and zinc in grain of biofortified wheat
The dietary contributions of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) from cereals are determined by concentrations, locations and chemical forms. A genetically biofortified wheat line showed... -
Recoverable resources from pot ale and spent wash from Scotch Whisky production
Scotch Whisky is an important global commodity which generates extensive co-product known as pot ale or spent wash (> 10 L co-product per L whisky). Whilst this is often used... -
The effect of organic carbon content on soil compression characteristics
We investigated the effect of soil organic carbon (SOC) on the consolidation behaviour of soil from two long term field experiments at Rothamsted; the Broadbalk Wheat Experiment... -
Wheat glutenin polymers 1. structure, assembly and properties
The importance of wheat glutenin polymers in determining the processing quality of wheat is generally accepted. Similarly, genetic and molecular studies have provided detailed... -
Progress towards the production of potatoes and cereals with low acrylamide-f...
The presence of acrylamide in foods derived from grains, tubers, storage roots, beans and other crop products has become a difficult problem for the food industry. Here we... -
The location of iron and zinc in grain of conventional and biofortified lines...
Sorghum is an important source of dietary iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in parts of Africa and India, but there is a need to increase their concentrations to meet dietary... -
What are the regulatory targets for intervention in assimilate partitioning t...
Sucrose utilisation for the synthesis of cellular components involved in growth and development and the accumulation of biomass determines diversity in the plant kingdom;... -
Dynamic simulation of management events for assessing impacts of climate chan...
The productivity of permanent temperate cut grasslands is mainly driven by weather, soil characteristics, botanical composition and management. To adapt management to climate... -
N-terminal truncated RHT-1 proteins generated by translational reinitiation c...
The unprecedented wheat yield increases during the Green Revolution were achieved through the introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles.... -
Take-All Disease: New Insights into an Important Wheat Root Pathogen
Take-all disease, caused by the fungal root pathogen Gaeumannomyces tritici, is considered to be the most important root disease of wheat worldwide. Here we review the advances... -
Assessing future drought risks and wheat yield losses in England
Droughts pose a major risk to agricultural production. By comparing the outputs from an ecophysiological crop model (Sirius) with four drought severity indicators (DSI), a... -
Accumulation and deposition of triacylglycerols in the starchy endosperm of w...
A combination of lipidomics, transcriptomics and bioimaging has been used to study triacylglycerol synthesis and deposition in the developing starchy endosperm of wheat. The... -
LYS3 encodes a prolamin-box-binding transcription factor that controls embryo...
Mutations at the LYS3 locus in barley have multiple effects on grain development, including an increase in embryo size and a decrease in endosperm starch content. The gene... -
Functional evaluation of a homologue of plant rapid alkalinisation factor (RA...
The cereal infecting fungus Fusarium graminearum is predicted to possess a single homologue of plant RALF (rapid alkalinisation factor) peptides. Fusarium mutant strains lacking... -
Wheat growth responses to soil mechanical impedance are dependent on phosphor...
Increased mechanical impedance induced by soil drying or compaction causes reduction in plant growth and crop yield. However, how mechanical impedance interacts with nutrient... -
Genetic variation and heritability of grain protein deviation in European whe...
There is a well-established negative relationship between the yield and the concentration of protein in the mature wheat grain. However, some wheat genotypes consistently... -
Optimisation of droplet digital PCR for determining copy number variation of ...
Targeted and random mutagenesis of gene families require accurate quantification. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) enables high-throughput screening of copy number variation (CNV)....
