Field Phenotyping for the Future
Global agricultural production has to double by 2050 to meet the demands of an increasing population and the challenges of a changing climate. Plant phenomics (the... -
High-throughput estimation of crop traits: A review of ground and aerial phen...
Crop yields need to be improved in a sustainable manner to meet the expected worldwide increase in population over the coming decades as well as the effects of anticipated... -
A modular cloning toolkit for genome editing in plants
CRISPR/Cas has recently become a widely used genome editing tool in various organisms, including plants. Applying CRISPR/Cas often requires delivering multiple expression units... -
Conserved residues in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) NAM-A1 NAC domain are req...
NAC transcription factors contain five highly conserved subdomains which are required for protein dimerisation and DNA binding. Few residues within these subdomains have been... -
Exploring the Role of Cereal Dietary Fiber in Digestion
Increasing the dietary fiber of staple foods such as bread is an attractive way to promote healthy eating in a large part of the population, where dietary fiber consumption is... -
A carbohydrate-binding protein, FLOURY ENDOSPERM 6 influences the initiation ...
Previously, we identified a quantitative trait locus on the group 4 chromosomes of Aegilops and bread wheat that controls B-type starch-granule content. Here, we identify a... -
Foliar N Application at Anthesis Stimulates Gene Expression of Grain Protein ...
The major components of wheat storage proteins are gliadins and glutenins, and as they contribute differently to baking quality, a balanced mixture of these components is... -
Effects of Cultivar and Nitrogen Nutrition on the Lipid Composition of Wheat ...
Despite being minor components of flour, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lipids contribute to grain processing. They are particularly important for bread making, where they adsorb... -
Nutrient Dynamics in Wheat
Nutrients are taken up by plant roots in a regulated manner and are then distributed around the plant according to demand. As the plant develops and matures, requirements will... -
Increasing metabolic potential: C-fixation
Due to the growing world population, crop yields must increase to meet the rising demand. Crop plants also require adaptation to optimize performance in the changing... -
Wheat sample affects growth performance and the apparent metabolisable energy...
The aim of this study was to examine chemical composition, quality characteristics, apparent metabolisable energy (AME) and nutrient utilisation of wheat samples currently... -
Development of a New A –Genome-Specific Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Marker...
Cultivated einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. subsp. monococcum, 2n = 2x = 14, AmAm) and its wild relative T. monococcum subsp. aegilopoides are important sources of... -
Validation and characterisation of a wheat GENIE3 network using an independen...
Gene regulatory networks are powerful tools which facilitate hypothesis generation and candidate gene discovery. However, the extent to which the network predictions are... -
Acrylamide: New European Risk Management Measures and Prospects for Reducing ...
Acrylamide (C3H5NO) is a processing contaminant formed from free asparagine and reducing sugars during high-temperature cooking and processing. It is a Group 2A carcinogen, and... -
Crop Biotechnology
Plant molecular biology came to the fore in the early 1980s and there has been tremendous growth in the subject since then. The study of plant genes and genomes, coupled with... -
An improved assembly and annotation of the allohexaploid wheat genome identif...

Integrating genomic resources to present full gene and promoter capture probe...
Background: Whole genome shotgun re-sequencing of wheat is expensive because of its large, repetitive genome. Moreover, sequence data can fail to map uniquely to the reference... -
Effects of Organic and Conventional Crop Nutrition on Profiles of Polar Metab...
The profiles of polar metabolites were determined in wholemeal flours of grain from the Broadbalk wheat experiment and from plants grown under organic and low-input systems to... -
CropQuant: An automated and scalable field phenotyping platform for crop moni...
Automated phenotyping technologies are capable of providing continuous and precise measurements of traits that are key to today’s crop research, breeding and agronomic... -
Exploring the potential for top-dressing bread wheat with ammonium chloride t...
The frequency and severity of drought is predicted to rise in many parts of the world. Considering that drought is the main constraint on rain-fed wheat crop production, both...
