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... -
Hotspots in the genomic architecture of field drought responses in wheat as b...
Wheat can adapt to most agricultural conditions across temperate regions. This success is the result of phenotypic plasticity conferred by a large and complex genome composed of... -
Identification of a dominant chlorosis phenotype through a forward screen of ...
AbstractDurum wheat (Triticum turgidum) derives from a hybridization event approximately 400,000 years ago which led to the creation of an allotetraploid genome. Unlike with... -
Improving wheat as a source of iron and zinc for global nutrition
Wheat is the staple food crop in temperate countries and increasingly consumed in developing countries, displacing traditional foods. However, wheat products are typically low... -
Exploiting the ZIP4 homologue within the wheat Ph1 locus has identified two l...
Despite possessing related ancestral genomes, hexaploid wheat behaves as a diploid during meiosis. The wheat Ph1 locus promotes accurate synapsis and crossover of homologous... -

Dynamics of floret initiation/death determining spike fertility in wheat as a...
As wheat yield is linearly related to grain number, understanding the physiological determinants of the number of fertile florets based on floret development dynamics due to the... -
Genetic screening for mutants with altered seminal root numbers in hexaploid ...
ABSTRACTRoots are the main channel for water and nutrient uptake in plants. Optimisation of root architecture provides a viable strategy to improve nutrient and water uptake... -
Albugo candida race diversity, ploidy and host-associated microbes revealed ...
Physiological races of the oomycete Albugo candida are biotrophic pathogens of diverse plant species, primarily the Brassicaceae, and cause infections that suppress host... -
Wheat Landrace Genome Diversity
Understanding the genomic complexity of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a cornerstone in the quest to unravel the processes of domestication and the following adaptation... -
Gene editing and mutagenesis reveal inter-cultivar differences and additivity...
The TaGW2 gene homoeologues have been reported to be negative regulators of grain size (GS) and thousand grain weight (TGW) in wheat. However, the contribution of each... -

Dual effect of the wheat Ph1 locus on chromosome synapsis and crossover
Allopolyploids must possess a mechanism for facilitating synapsis and crossover (CO) between homologues, in preference to homoeologues (related chromosomes), to ensure... -
Short periods of high temperature during meiosis prevent normal meiotic progr...
This study assesses the effects of heat on meiotic progression and grain number in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Chinese Spring), defines a heat-sensitive stage and... -
Applying the latest advances in genomics and phenomics for trait discovery in...
Improving traits in wheat has historically been challenging due to its large and polyploid genome, limited genetic diversity and in‐field phenotyping constraints. However,... -
Dynamics of leaf and spikelet primordia initiation in wheat as affected by Pp...
Wheat adaptation is affected by Ppd genes, but the role of these alleles in the rates of leaf and spikelet initiation has not been properly analysed. Twelve near isogenic lines... -
A reductionist approach to dissecting grain weight and yield in wheat

Final grain weight is not limited by the activity of key starch-synthesising ...
Since starch is by far the major component of the mature wheat grain, it has been assumed that variation in the capacity for starch synthesis during grain filling can influence... -
VERNALIZATION1 controls developmental responses of winter wheat under high am...
Low temperatures are required to regulate the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth via a pathway called vernalization. In wheat, vernalization predominantly...
