Comparative prebiotic activity of mixtures of cereal grain polysaccharides
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... -
Rice auxin influx carrier OsAUX1 facilitates root hair elongation in response...
Root traits such as root angle and hair length influence resource acquisition particularly for immobile nutrients like phosphorus (P). Here, we attempted to modify root angle in... -

The stage of seed development influences iron bioavailability in pea (Pisum s...
Pea seeds are widely consumed in their immature form, known as garden peas and petit pois, mostly after preservation by freezing or canning. Mature dry peas are rich in iron in... -
Modified expression of ZmMYB167 in Brachypodium distachyon and Zea mays leads...
One of the challenges to enable targeted modification of lignocellulosic biomass from grasses for improved biofuel and biochemical production lies within our limited... -
Improved Interpretation of Mercury Intrusion and Soil Water Retention Percola...
This work addresses two continuing fallacies in the interpretation of percolation characteristics of porous solids. The first is that the first derivative (slope) of the... -

Exploring the resilience of wheat crops grown in short rotations through mini...
Given the increasing demand for wheat which is forecast, cropping of wheat in short rotations will likely remain a common practice. However, in temperate wheat growing regions... -
Opposite fates of the purine metabolite allantoin under water and nitrogen li...
The metabolite allantoin is an intermediate of the catabolism of purines (components of nucleotides) and is known for its housekeeping role in nitrogen (N) recycling and also... -
CRISPR/Cas precision: do we need to worry about off-targeting in plants?
The CRISPR/Cas technology has recently become the tool of choice for targeted genome modification in plants and beyond. Although CRSIPR/Cas offers a rapid and facile way of...
