Soil strength influences wheat root interactions with soil macropores
Deep rooting is critical for access to water and nutrients found in subsoil. However, damage to soil structure and the natural increase in soil strength with depth, often... -
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,... -
Spatial distribution of functional components in the starchy endosperm of whe...
The starchy endosperm of the mature wheat grain comprises three major cell types, namely sub-aleurone cells, prismatic cells and central cells, which differ in their contents of... -
Sequence-specific nucleases as tools for enhancing disease resistance in crops
Genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas, have recently become valuable tools for plant reverse genetics as well as crop improvement, including enhancement of disease... -
The TaCslA12 gene expressed in the wheat grain endosperm synthesizes wheat-li...
Mannan is a class of cell wall polysaccharides widespread in the plant kingdom. Mannan structure and properties vary according to species and organ. The cell walls of cereal... -
Conversion of array-based single nucleotide polymorphic markers for use in ta...
Wheat breeders and academics alike use single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as molecular markers to characterize regions of interest within the hexaploid wheat genome. A... -
The identification of new candidate genes Triticum aestivum FLOWERING LOCUS T...
Perception of photoperiod changes enables plants to flower under optimum conditions for survival. We used doubled haploid populations of crosses among Avalon × Cadenza, Charger... -
Development of the GlutEnSeq capture system for sequencing gluten gene famili...
We developed an in-solution gluten exome capture system called GlutEnSeq (Gluten gene Enrichment and Sequencing), covering the sequence variation of thousands of prolamin genes... -
Global transcriptome analysis uncovers the gene co-expression regulation netw...
Wheat grain development is a robust biological process that largely determines grain quality and yield. In this study, we investigated the grain transcriptome of winter wheat... -
Characterization of an antimicrobial and phytotoxic ribonuclease secreted by ...
The fungus Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria Tritici Blotch (STB) disease of wheat leaves. Zymoseptoria tritici secretes many functionally uncharacterized... -
The effect of microbial activity on soil water diffusivity
In this study, we explored the effects of microbial activity on the evaporation of water from cores of a sandy soil under laboratory conditions. We applied treatments to... -
A roadmap for gene functional characterisation in wheat
Research in Arabidopsis and other model species has uncovered mechanisms regulating important biological processes in plants. With the advent of high quality functional genomic... -
RNAi as an emerging approach to control Fusarium head blight disease and myco...
Fusarium graminearum is a major fungal pathogen of cereals worldwide, causing seedling, stem base and floral diseases, including Fusarium head blight (FHB). In addition to yield... -
Increased pericarp cell length underlies a major quantitative trait locus for...
Crop yields must increase to address food insecurity. Grain weight, determined by grain length and width, is an important yield component, but our understanding of the... -
