NAC transcription factors contain five highly conserved subdomains which are required for protein dimerisation and DNA binding. Few residues within these subdomains have been...

The main components of the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fraction of wheat flour are arabinoxylan (AX) and β-glucan. These are also present in other cereal grains, but their...

QTL analysis of dietary fibre in wheat flour

Background Carbohydrate partitioning and utilization is a key determinant of growth rate and of yield in plants and crops. There are few studies on crops in field conditions. In...

Background Wheat grains contain gluten proteins, which harbour immunogenic epitopes that trigger Coeliac disease in 1–2% of the human population. Wheat varieties or accessions...

Version 1.1 assemblies of Triticum aestivum (Cadenza, Paragon, Robigus, Claire) and Tritium turgidum (Kronos). Version 1.1 assemblies were generated from filtering v1.0...

This is the raw data from whole genome shotgun sequencing of 150 accessions of Aegilops tauschii, a wild relative of wheat. The sequence coverage is between 10 and 30 fold. Most...

Whole genome shotgun sequencing of 110 lines of Aegilops tauschii, exclusively of lineage 1. The sequence coverage is around 10 fold. The raw data folder of each accession is...

Polyploidization is a fundamental process in plant evolution. One of the biggest challenges faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, particularly discriminating between multiple...

The coordinated expression of highly related homoeologous genes in polyploid species underlies the phenotypes of many of the world's major crops. However, the balance of...

Whole genome shotgun re-sequencing of wheat is expensive because of its large, repetitive genome. Moreover, sequence data can fail to map uniquely to the reference genome making...

Wheat has been domesticated into a large number of agricultural environments and has a remarkable ability to adapt to diverse environments. To understand this process, we survey...

Phenotype data for QTL beneficial allele validation using Near Isogenic Lines (NILs) from growing season Oct 2017 - Aug 2018 at Church Farm, John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK, for...

Powdery mildew is a severe disease in wheat. In barley, durable resistance exists, based on non-functionality of the Mlo gene. As a model to analyse the effects of mutagenesis...

Wheat grain development is a robust biological process that largely determines grain quality and yield. In this study, we investigated the grain transcriptome of winter wheat...

Genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas, have recently become valuable tools for plant reverse genetics as well as crop improvement, including enhancement of disease...

Genetic resistance is the most economic and environmentally sustainable approach for crop disease protection. Disease resistance (R) genes from wild relatives are a valuable...

Comprehensive reverse genetic resources, which have been key to understanding gene function in diploid model organisms, are missing in many polyploid crops. Young polyploid...

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...

The continued expansion of the world population and the likely onset of climate change combine to form a major crop breeding challenge. Genetic advances in most crop species to...
