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... -
Evidence That Phosphorylation of the α-Subunit of eIF2 Does Not Essentially I...
A mechanism based on reversible phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) has been confirmed as an important regulatory pathway for the... -
Genome Sequence of Fusarium graminearum Strain CML3066, Isolated from a Wheat...
Fusarium graminearum is a global fungal pathogen of wheat and other small grains, causing Fusarium head blight (FHB) disease, also known as wheat scab. We report here the... -
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... -
Composition and content of phenolic acids and avenanthramides in commercial o...
Oats contain a range of phenolic acids and avenanthramides which may have health benefits. Analysis of 22 commercial oat products (oat bran concentrate, oat bran, flaked oats,... -

Reducing the dependence of crop production on chemical fertilizer with its associated costs, carbon footprint and other environmental problems is a challenge for agriculture.... -
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... -
Mitigation efforts will not fully alleviate the increase in water scarcity oc...
Global warming is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of severe water scarcity (SWS) events, which negatively affect rain-fed crops such as wheat, a key source of... -
PHI-Nets: A Network Resource for Ascomycete Fungal Pathogens to Annotate and ...
Interactions between proteins underlie all aspects of complex biological mechanisms. Therefore, methodologies based on complex network analyses can facilitate identification of... -
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... -
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... -
DeepCount: In-Field Automatic Quantification of Wheat Spikes Using Simple Lin...
Crop yield is an essential measure for breeders, researchers, and farmers and is composed of and may be calculated by the number of ears per square meter, grains per ear, and... -
Radiometric Calibration of ‘Commercial off the Shelf’ Cameras for UAV-Based H...
Vegetation indices, such as the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), are common metrics used for measuring traits of interest in crop phenotyping. However, traditional... -
What Is Gluten—Why Is It Special?
Wheat gluten has an immense impact on human nutrition as it largely determines the processing properties of wheat flour, and in particular the ability to make leavened breads,... -
sRNA Profiling Combined With Gene Function Analysis Reveals a Lack of Evidenc...
Cross-kingdom small RNA (sRNA) silencing has recently emerged as a mechanism facilitating fungal colonization and disease development. Here we characterized RNAi pathways in... -
The Complete Genome Sequence of the Phytopathogenic Fungus Sclerotinia sclero...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a phytopathogenic fungus with over 400 hosts including numerous economically important cultivated species. This contrasts many economically... -
The adaptation of Fusarium culmorum to DMI Fungicides Is Mediated by Major Tr...
Fusarium culmorum is a fungal pathogen causing economically important diseases on a variety of crops. Fungicides can be applied to control this species with triazoles being the... -
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... -
