Leaf to panicle ratio (LPR): a new physiological trait indicative of source a...
Identification and characterization of new traits with sound physiological foundation is essential for crop breeding and production management. Deep learning has been widely... -
Stress, nutrients and genotype: understanding and managing asparagine accumul...
Plant stress and poor crop management strategies compromise the foundations of food security: crop yield, nutritional quality and food safety. Accumulation of high... -
Transitions in wheat endosperm metabolism upon transcriptional induction of o...
Cereal grains, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), are major sources of food and feed, with wheat being dominant in temperate zones. These end uses exploit the storage... -
Loss of TaIRX9b gene function in wheat decreases chain length and amount of a...
Wheat contains abundant xylan in cell walls of all tissues, but in endosperm, there is an unusual form of xylan substituted only by arabinose (arabinoxylan; AX) that has long... -
Novel low-nitrogen stress-responsive long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) in barley ...
Reducing the dependence of crop production on chemical fertilizer with its associated costs, carbon footprint and other environmental problems is a challenge for agriculture.... -
Identification of a major QTL and associated molecular marker for high arabin...
Dietary fibre (DF) has multiple health benefits and wheat grains are major sources of DF for human health. However, DF is depleted in white wheat flour which is more widely... -
Segregation distortion: Utilizing simulated genotyping data to evaluate stati...
Segregation distortion is the phenomenon in which genotypes deviate from expected Mendelian ratios in the progeny of a cross between two varieties or species. There is not... -
Ensembl Genomes 2020—enabling non-vertebrate genomic research
Abstract Ensembl Genomes (http://www.ensemblgenomes.org) is an integrating resource for genome-scale data from non-vertebrate species, complementing the resources for... -
PHI-base: the pathogen–host interactions database
Abstract The pathogen–host interactions database (PHI-base) is available at www.phi-base.org. PHI-base contains expertly curated molecular and biological information on genes... -
Development and characterisation of interspecific hybrid lines with genome-wi...
Triticum timopheevii (2n = 4x = 28; AtAtGG), is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement with genes for potential disease resistance and salt... -
Colombia's cyberinfrastructure for biodiversity: Building data infrastructure...
Colombia is a “megadiverse” country with vast natural resources. A history of recent conflict means that information is only now being collected on the natural capital of... -
Seasonal and diurnal patterns of non-structural carbohydrates in source and s...
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... -
A Sequence Distance Graph framework for genome assembly and analysis
The Sequence Distance Graph (SDG) framework works with genome assembly graphs and raw data from paired, linked and long reads. It includes a simple deBruijn graph module, and... -
Outlook for coeliac disease patients: towards bread wheat with hypoimmunogeni...
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... -
An Exploration of Deep-Learning Based Phenotypic Analysis to Detect Spike Reg...
Wheat is one of the major crops in the world, with a global demand expected to reach 850 million tons by 2050 that is clearly outpacing current supply. The continual pressure to... -
Transcriptional response of rice flag leaves to restricted external phosphoru...
Plant phosphorus (P) remobilisation during leaf senescence has fundamental implications for global P cycle fluxes. Hypothesising that genes involved in remobilisation of P from... -
KnetMaps: a BioJS component to visualize biological knowledge networks
KnetMaps is a BioJS component for the interactive visualization of biological knowledge networks. It is well suited for applications that need to visualise complementary,... -
Investigating the potential of novel non-woven fabrics for efficient pollinat...
Plant breeding is achieved through the controlled self- or cross-pollination of individuals and typically involves isolation of floral parts from selected parental plants.... -
A modified sequence capture approach allowing standard and methylation analys...
Bread wheat has a large complex genome that makes whole genome resequencing costly. Therefore, genome complexity reduction techniques such as sequence capture make re-sequencing... -
Remobilisation of phosphorus fractions in rice flag leaves during grain filli...
Phosphorus (P) is translocated from vegetative tissues to developing seeds during senescence in annual crop plants, but the impact of this P mobilisation on photosynthesis and...
