Yield reduction historically associated with the Aegilops ventricosa 7DV intr...
Wheat wild relatives represent an important source of genetic variation, but introgression of agronomically relevant genes, such as for disease resistance, may lead to the... -
Aegilops umbellulata introgression carrying leaf rust and stripe rust resista...
Leaf rust and stripe rust are among the most damaging diseases of wheat worldwide. Wheat cultivation based on limited number of rust resistance genes deployed over vast areas... -
Exome sequencing of bulked segregants identified a novel TaMKK3-A allele link...
Abstract Key message Using bulked segregant analysis of exome sequence, we fine-mapped the ABA-hypersensitive mutant ERA8 in a wheat backcross population to the TaMKK3-A locus... -
Ensembl Genomes 2020—enabling non-vertebrate genomic research
Abstract Ensembl Genomes (http://www.ensemblgenomes.org) is an integrating resource for genome-scale data from non-vertebrate species, complementing the resources for... -
PHI-base: the pathogen–host interactions database
Abstract The pathogen–host interactions database (PHI-base) is available at www.phi-base.org. PHI-base contains expertly curated molecular and biological information on genes... -
Dmc1 is a candidate for temperature tolerance during wheat meiosis
We initially assessed the effects of low temperature on meiotic chromosome synapsis and crossover formation in the hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety ‘Chinese... -
Introgression of Aegilops speltoides segments in Triticum aestivum and the ef...
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been through a severe genetic bottleneck as a result of its evolution and domestication. It is therefore essential that new sources of... -
Development and characterisation of interspecific hybrid lines with genome-wi...
Triticum timopheevii (2n = 4x = 28; AtAtGG), is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement with genes for potential disease resistance and salt... -
Detection of T. urartu Introgressions in Wheat and Development of a Panel of ...
Tritcum urartu (2n = 2x = 14, AuAu), the A genome donor of wheat, is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its high photosynthetic rate and... -
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... -
Mitigation efforts will not fully alleviate the increase in water scarcity oc...
Global warming is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of severe water scarcity (SWS) events, which negatively affect rain-fed crops such as wheat, a key source of... -
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... -
Acrylamide in food: Progress in and prospects for genetic and agronomic solut...
Acrylamide is a processing contaminant and Group 2a carcinogen that was discovered in foodstuffs in 2002. Its presence in a range of popular foods has become one of the most... -
PHI-Nets: A Network Resource for Ascomycete Fungal Pathogens to Annotate and ...
Interactions between proteins underlie all aspects of complex biological mechanisms. Therefore, methodologies based on complex network analyses can facilitate identification of... -
Comparative prebiotic activity of mixtures of cereal grain polysaccharides
The main components of the non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fraction of wheat flour are arabinoxylan (AX) and β-glucan. These are also present in other cereal grains, but their... -
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,... -
Colombia's cyberinfrastructure for biodiversity: Building data infrastructure...
Colombia is a “megadiverse” country with vast natural resources. A history of recent conflict means that information is only now being collected on the natural capital of... -
Reducing the Acrylamide-Forming Potential of Crop Plants
Acrylamide is a food-processing contaminant formed from free asparagine and reducing sugars during high-temperature cooking and processing. It is a Group 2A carcinogen, and...
