Using ensemble-mean climate scenarios for future crop yield projections: a st...
Using climate scenarios from only 1 or a small number of global climate models (GCMs) in climate change impact studies may lead to biased assessment due to large uncertainty in... -
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... -
Subcellular dynamics studies of iron reveal how tissue‐specific distribution ...
Understanding the mechanisms of iron trafficking in plants is key to enhancing the nutritional quality of crops. Because it is difficult to image iron in transit, we currently... -
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... -
Resistance to wheat rusts identified in wheat/ Amblyopyrum muticum chromosome...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) rusts are a worldwide production problem. Plant breeders have used genetic resistance to combat these fungi. However, single-gene resistance is... -
The relative abundance of wheat Rubisco activase isoforms is post-transcripti...
AbstractDiurnal rhythms and light availability affect transcription–translation feedback loops that regulate the synthesis of photosynthetic proteins. The CO2-fixing enzyme... -
Multiple wheat genomes reveal global variation in modern breeding
Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is... -
Meiosis and beyond – understanding the mechanistic and evolutionary processes...
The separation of germ cell populations from the soma is part of the evolutionary transition to multicellularity. Only genetic information present in the germ cells will be... -
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... -
Physical properties of a sandy soil as affected by incubation with a syntheti...
Plant roots release various organic materials that may modify soil structure and affect heat and mass transfer processes. The objective of this study was to determine the... -
The interaction between wheat roots and soil pores in structured field soil
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root growth in the subsoil is usually constrained by soil strength, although roots can use macropores to elongate to deeper layers. The... -
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... -
Mapping sites of gibberellin biosynthesis in the Arabidopsis root tip
Root elongation depends on the action of the gibberellin (GA) growth hormones, which promote cell production in the root meristem and cell expansion in the elongation zone.... -
Do modern types of wheat have lower quality for human health?
Wheat is the major staple food in Western Europe and an important source of energy, protein, dietary fibre, minerals, B vitamins and phytochemicals. Plant breeders have been... -
Copy number variation of TdDof controls solid-stemmed architecture in wheat
Stem solidness is an important agronomic trait of durum (Triticum turgidumL. var.durum) and bread (Triticum aestivumL.) wheat that provides resistance to the wheat stem sawfly.... -
Enabling reusability of plant phenomic datasets with MIAPPE 1.1
Enabling data reuse and knowledge discovery is increasingly critical in modern science, and requires an effort towards standardising data publication practices. This is... -
Banishing barberry: The history of Berberis vulgaris prevalence and wheat ste...
Wheat stem rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is a notoriously damaging disease of wheat and barley. Pgt requires two hosts to complete its... -
Expecting the unexpected: factors influencing the emergence of fungal and oom...
In recent years, the number of emergent plant pathogens (EPPs) has grown substantially, threatening agroecosystem stability and native biodiversity. Contributing factors... -
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...
