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)... -
Integration of embryo–endosperm interaction into a holistic and dynamic pictu...
Interaction between the embryo and endosperm affects seed development, an essential process in yield formation in crops such as rice. Signals that mediate communication between... -
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... -

Microbially synthesized nanoparticles: aspect in plant disease management
Nanotechnology plays a critical role in agriculture and its associated management strategies. The emergence of plant pathogens (phytopathogens) across various crops has posed a... -
Changes in agricultural climate in South-Eastern England from 1892 to 2016 an...
The long-term increasing trend of annual mean temperature is only one aspect of recent climate change. Other changes in climate, seen in within-year weather patterns relevant to... -
Feeding the future: developing the skills landscape in the agri‐food sector
The agri-food sector and supply chain is a foundational component of society and is required for healthy populations across the globe. Feeding the world, not only with enough... -
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;... -
The impact of weather and increased atmospheric CO <sub>2</sub> from 1892 t...
Climate change effects on UK winter wheat grain yield are complex: warmer temperature, negative; greater carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration, positive; but other... -
Remarkable recent changes in the genetic diversity of the avirulence gene Avr...
Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici, is one of the most economically important diseases of wheat. Recently, both factors of a gene-for-gene... -
Cereal asparagine synthetase genes
Asparagine synthetase catalyses the transfer of an amino group from glutamine to aspartate to form glutamate and asparagine. The accumulation of free (nonprotein) asparagine in... -
Global Wheat Head Detection 2021: An Improved Dataset for Benchmarking Wheat ...
The Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) dataset was created in 2020 and has assembled 193,634 labelled wheat heads from 4700 RGB images acquired from various acquisition... -
Local impacts of climate change on winter wheat in Great Britain
Under future CMIP5 climate change scenarios for 2050, an increase in wheat yield of about 10% is predicted in Great Britain (GB) as a result of the combined effect of CO 2... -
High molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) 1Dx5 is concentrated in small...
The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs) are key determinants of the processing properties of wheat and over-expression of HMW-GS by transgenesis has therefore been... -
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... -
Subcellular dynamics studies of iron reveal how tissue‐specific distribution ...
Understanding the mechanisms of iron trafficking in plants is key to enhancing the nutritional quality of crops. Because it is difficult to image iron in transit, we currently... -
N-terminal truncated RHT-1 proteins generated by translational reinitiation c...
The unprecedented wheat yield increases during the Green Revolution were achieved through the introduction of the Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles.... -
KnetMiner: a comprehensive approach for supporting evidence‐based gene discov...
The generation of new ideas and scientific hypotheses is often the result of extensive literature and database searches, but, with the growing wealth of public and private... -
Dissection of environmental and physiological effects on the temperature diff...
Temperature of a plant organ constitutes an integrative index to its eco-physiological properties and status. However, little attempt has been made to dissect the combined... -
Gene‐based mapping of trehalose biosynthetic pathway genes reveals associatio...
Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) signalling regulates carbon use and allocation and is a target to improve crop yields. However, the specific contributions of trehalose phosphate...
