The rise of necrotrophic effectors
Many biotrophic pathogens, which require living plant tissues for colonization, interact with their hosts in a gene-for-gene (GFG) manner whereby plant disease resistance (R)... -
Localized nutrient supply can facilitate root proliferation and increase nitr...
Soil compaction constrains root growth and crop yield. Previous studies have shown that localized nutrient supply can significantly improve maize plant growth in field... -
Plant adaptation to nutrient stress
Mineral nutrients absorbed in the inorganic form are indispensable for plant growth and development. The various processes underlying yield formation in crops such as biomass... -
Adverse Reactions to Wheat or Wheat Components
Wheat is an important staple food globally, providing a significant contribution to daily energy, fiber, and micronutrient intake. Observational evidence for health impacts of... -
Convergent Loss of an EDS1/PAD4 Signaling Pathway in Several Plant Lineages R...
Plant innate immunity relies on nucleotide binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) that recognize pathogen-derived molecules and activate downstream signaling pathways. We... -
Tolerance to oxidative stress is associated with both oxidative stress respon...
Reactive oxygen species are toxic byproducts of aerobic respiration that are also important in mediating a diversity of cellular functions. Reactive oxygen species form an... -
A global surveillance system for crop diseases
To satisfy a growing demand for food, global agricultural production must increase by 70% by 2050. However, pests and crop diseases put global food supplies at risk. Worldwide,... -
The NLR-Annotator Tool Enables Annotation of the Intracellular Immune Recepto...
Disease resistance genes encoding nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) intracellular immune receptor proteins detect pathogens by the presence of pathogen effectors.... -
Chronic vascular effects of oat phenolic acids and avenanthramides in pre- or...
Wholegrain consumption is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Evidence from randomized controlled trials have established that the consumption of wholegrain oats... -
Virus-Mediated Transient Expression Techniques Enable Gene Function Studies i...
Weeds are arguably among the most economically important groups of plant species. They have major agronomic and environmental impacts and affect food security. For winter-cereal... -
Substantial increase in yield predicted by wheat ideotypes for Europe under f...
A substantial increase in food production is needed for global food security. Europe is the largest wheat producer, delivering 35% of wheat globally, but its future genetic... -
Wheat Seed Proteins: Factors Influencing Their Content, Composition, and Tech...
Wheat is the primary source of nutrition for many, especially those living in developing countries, and wheat proteins are among the most widely consumed dietary proteins in the... -
Sugar sensing responses to low and high light in leaves of the C4 model grass...
Abstract ABSTRACT :Although sugar regulate photosynthesis, the signalling pathways underlying this process remain elusive, especially for C4 crops. To address this knowledge... -
Linking fundamental science to crop improvement through understanding source ...
Understanding processes in sources and sinks that contribute to crop yields has taken years of painstaking research. For crop yield improvement, processes need to be understood... -
Stem rust ( Puccina graminis ) identified on spring barley in the UK adjacent...
Wheat stem rust caused by the fungus Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici is a notorious disease of wheat and barley (Leonard & Szabo). In western Europe, following many decades... -
Uncovering hidden variation in polyploid wheat
Comprehensive reverse genetic resources, which have been key to understanding gene function in diploid model organisms, are missing in many polyploid crops. Young polyploid... -
Resistance gene cloning from a wild crop relative by sequence capture and ass...
Genetic resistance is the most economic and environmentally sustainable approach for crop disease protection. Disease resistance (R) genes from wild relatives are a valuable... -

Development and characterization of wheat lines with increased levels of arab...
Improving the nutritional quality and health benefits of food has been of increasing interest globally over the last decade. Staple cereal foods are the major sources of dietary... -
The relationships between seedling root screens, root growth in the field and...
Background and aims We were interested to know if laboratory screens of root growth could be used to predict root performance and grain yield of wheat when grown in the field. A...
