Comparative compositions of metabolites and dietary fibre components in dough...
Wholemeal flours from blends of bread wheat, emmer and spelt were processed into bread using yeast-based and sourdough fermentation. The bread wheat flour contained... -
Diffuse water pollution during recent extreme wet-weather in the UK: Environm...
Periods of extreme wet-weather elevate agricultural diffuse water pollutant loads and climate projections for the UK suggest wetter winters. Within this context, we monitored... -
Exploiting genomics to improve the benefits of wheat: Prospects and limitations
Conventional breeding has been immensely successful in increasing crop production to meet the demands of the growing global population, particularly for wheat where production... -
Localisation of iron and zinc in grain of biofortified wheat
The dietary contributions of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) from cereals are determined by concentrations, locations and chemical forms. A genetically biofortified wheat line showed... -
Recoverable resources from pot ale and spent wash from Scotch Whisky production
Scotch Whisky is an important global commodity which generates extensive co-product known as pot ale or spent wash (> 10 L co-product per L whisky). Whilst this is often used... -
The effect of organic carbon content on soil compression characteristics
We investigated the effect of soil organic carbon (SOC) on the consolidation behaviour of soil from two long term field experiments at Rothamsted; the Broadbalk Wheat Experiment... -
Wheat glutenin polymers 1. structure, assembly and properties
The importance of wheat glutenin polymers in determining the processing quality of wheat is generally accepted. Similarly, genetic and molecular studies have provided detailed... -
Progress towards the production of potatoes and cereals with low acrylamide-f...
The presence of acrylamide in foods derived from grains, tubers, storage roots, beans and other crop products has become a difficult problem for the food industry. Here we... -
The location of iron and zinc in grain of conventional and biofortified lines...
Sorghum is an important source of dietary iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in parts of Africa and India, but there is a need to increase their concentrations to meet dietary... -
What are the regulatory targets for intervention in assimilate partitioning t...
Sucrose utilisation for the synthesis of cellular components involved in growth and development and the accumulation of biomass determines diversity in the plant kingdom;... -
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... -
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... -
Wheat growth responses to soil mechanical impedance are dependent on phosphor...
Increased mechanical impedance induced by soil drying or compaction causes reduction in plant growth and crop yield. However, how mechanical impedance interacts with nutrient... -
Genetic variation and heritability of grain protein deviation in European whe...
There is a well-established negative relationship between the yield and the concentration of protein in the mature wheat grain. However, some wheat genotypes consistently... -
Optimisation of droplet digital PCR for determining copy number variation of ...
Targeted and random mutagenesis of gene families require accurate quantification. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) enables high-throughput screening of copy number variation (CNV).... -
Development and validation of an exome-based SNP marker set for identificatio...
Thinopyrum intermedium (2n = 6x = 42, StJrJvs) is one of the most promising reservoirs of useful genes including tolerance to abiotic stresses, perenniality and disease... -
Characterisation of Thinopyrum bessarabicum chromosomes through genome-wide i...
Thinopyrum bessarabicum (2n = 2x = 14, JJ) is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its salinity tolerance and disease resistance. Its... -
Investigating the effects of inter-annual weather variation (1968–2016) on th...
The effect of weather on inter-annual variation in the crop yield response to nitrogen (N) fertilizer for winter wheat (Triticum aestivvum L.) and spring barley (Hordeum vulgare... -
Adverse weather conditions for UK wheat production under climate change
Winter wheat is an important crop in the UK, suited to the typical weather conditions in the current climate. In a changing climate the increased frequency and severity of... -
Large genetic yield potential and genetic yield gap estimated for wheat in Eu...
Improving yield potential and closing the yield gap are important to achieve global food security. Europe is the largest wheat producer, delivering about 35% of wheat globally,...
