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... -
Barley lys3 mutants are unique amongst shrunken-endosperm mutants in having a...
Many shrunken endosperm mutants of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) have been described and several of these are known to have lesions in starch biosynthesis genes. Here we confirm... -
Genome-Wide Transcription During Early Wheat Meiosis Is Independent of Synaps...
Polyploidization is a fundamental process in plant evolution. One of the biggest challenges faced by a new polyploid is meiosis, particularly discriminating between multiple... -
The role of Tre6P and SnRK1 in maize early kernel development and events lead...
Drought stress during flowering is a major contributor to yield loss in maize. Genetic and biotechnological improvement in yield sustainability requires an understanding of the... -
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... -

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... -
Pathogenomic Analysis of Wheat Yellow Rust Lineages Detects Seasonal Variatio...
Recent disease outbreaks caused by (re-)emerging plant pathogens have been associated with expansions in pathogen geographic distribution and increased virulence. For example,... -
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... -
Rubisco and Rubisco Activase Play an Important Role in the Biochemical Limita...
To understand the effect of heat and drought on three major cereal crops, the physiological and biochemical (i.e. metabolic) factors affecting photosynthesis were examined in... -

Maize yields over Europe may increase in spite of climate change, with an app...
Projections based on invariant genotypes and agronomic practices indicate that climate change will largely decrease crop yields. The comparatively few studies considering... -
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... -
Are GM Crops for Yield and Resilience Possible?
Crop yield improvements need to accelerate to avoid future food insecurity. Outside Europe, genetically modified (GM) crops for herbicide- and insect-resistance have been... -
Climate Change and Future Pollen Allergy in Europe
FULL TEXT Abstract: BACKGROUND:Globally, pollen allergy is a major public health problem, but a fundamental unknown is the likely impact of climate change. To our... -
Temperature and nitrogen supply interact to determine protein distribution gr...
Gradients exist in the distribution of storage proteins in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) endosperm and determine the milling properties and protein recovery rate of the grain. A... -
A novel gibberellin promotes seedling establishment
A previously unknown biologically active gibberellin present in seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana is formed by hydration of the gibberellin precursor GA12 through the action of...
