Wheat with greatly reduced accumulation of free asparagine in the grain, prod...
Free asparagine is the precursor for acrylamide, which forms during the baking, toasting and high-temperature processing of foods made from wheat. In this study, CRISPR/Cas9 was... -
Editorial: CRISPR-Cas in Agriculture: Opportunities and Challenges
CRISPR-Cas genome editing technology is developing at a rapid pace and new molecular tools, such as CRISPR nucleases, are becoming regularly available. -
Determination of wheat spike and spikelet architecture and grain traits using...
Abstract Background Wheat spike architecture is a key determinant of multiple grain yield components and detailed examination of spike morphometric traits is beneficial to... -
Future agroclimatic conditions and implications for European grasslands
Grasslands play a significant role in livestock fodder production and thus, contribute to food security worldwide while providing numerous additional ecosystem services.... -
Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency Through Overexpression of Alanine Aminotran...
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants, but crop plants are inefficient in the acquisition and utilization of applied nitrogen. This often results in producers over... -
Evolution of the bread wheat D-subgenome and enriching it with diversity from...
AbstractAegilops tauschii, the diploid wild progenitor of the D-subgenome of bread wheat, constitutes a reservoir of genetic diversity for improving bread wheat performance and... -
A Roadmap for Lowering Crop Nitrogen Requirement
Increasing nitrogen fertilizer applications have sustained a growing world population in the 20th century. However, to avoid any further associated environmental damage, new... -
Mapping Agronomic and Quality Traits in Elite Durum Wheat Lines under Differi...
Final grain production and quality in durum wheat are affected by biotic and abiotic stresses. The association mapping (AM) approach is useful for dissecting the genetic control... -
Implementing within‐cross genomic prediction to reduce oat breeding costs
A barrier to the adoption of genomic prediction in small breeding programs is the initial cost of genotyping material. Although decreasing, marker costs are usually higher than... -
A roadmap for gene functional characterisation in crops with large genomes: L...
Understanding the function of genes within staple crops will accelerate crop improvement by allowing targeted breeding approaches. Despite their importance, a lack of genomic... -
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Relating to Flowering Time, Flag Le...
Tetraploid landraces of wheat harbour genetic diversity that could be introgressed into modern bread wheat with the aid of marker-assisted selection to address the genetic... -
A Neural Network Method for Classification of Sunlit and Shaded Components of...
(1) Background: Information rich hyperspectral sensing, together with robust image analysis, is providing new research pathways in plant phenotyping. This combination... -
Accounting for heterogeneity in the θ–σ relationship: Application to wheat ph...
Geophysical methods, such as electromagnetic induction (EMI), can be effective for monitoring changes in soil moisture at the field scale, particularly in agricultural... -
A framework for gene mapping in wheat demonstrated using the Yr7 yellow rust ...
We used three approaches to map the yellow rust resistance gene Yr7 and identify associated SNPs in wheat. First, we used a traditional QTL mapping approach using a double... -
Uncovering candidate genes involved in photosynthetic capacity using unexplor...
To feed an ever-increasing population we must leverage advances in genomics and phenotyping to harness the variation in wheat breeding populations for traits like photosynthetic... -
Wheat chromatin architecture is organized in genome territories and transcrip...
Polyploidy is ubiquitous in eukaryotic plant and fungal lineages, and it leads to the co-existence of several copies of similar or related genomes in one nucleus. In plants,... -
Multiple wheat genomes reveal global variation in modern breeding
Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is... -
The Wheat GENIE3 Network Provides Biologically-Relevant Information in Polypl...
Gene regulatory networks are powerful tools which facilitate hypothesis generation and candidate gene discovery. However, the extent to which the network predictions are... -
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... -
Meiosis and beyond – understanding the mechanistic and evolutionary processes...
The separation of germ cell populations from the soma is part of the evolutionary transition to multicellularity. Only genetic information present in the germ cells will be...
