Wheat amino acid transporters highly expressed in grain cells regulate amino ...
Amino acids are delivered into developing wheat grains to support the accumulation of storage proteins in the starchy endosperm, and transporters play important roles in... -
Vulnerability of European wheat to extreme heat and drought around flowering ...
Identifying the future threats to crop yields from climate change is vital to underpin the continuous production increases needed for global food security. In the present study,... -
Assessing future drought risks and wheat yield losses in England
Droughts pose a major risk to agricultural production. By comparing the outputs from an ecophysiological crop model (Sirius) with four drought severity indicators (DSI), a... -
Physical properties of a sandy soil as affected by incubation with a syntheti...
Plant roots release various organic materials that may modify soil structure and affect heat and mass transfer processes. The objective of this study was to determine the... -
The interaction between wheat roots and soil pores in structured field soil
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root growth in the subsoil is usually constrained by soil strength, although roots can use macropores to elongate to deeper layers. The... -
Time‐lapse geophysical assessment of agricultural practices on soil moisture ...
Geophysical surveys are now commonly used in agriculture for mapping applications. High‐throughput collection of geophysical properties such as electrical conductivity (inverse... -
Accumulation and deposition of triacylglycerols in the starchy endosperm of w...
A combination of lipidomics, transcriptomics and bioimaging has been used to study triacylglycerol synthesis and deposition in the developing starchy endosperm of wheat. The... -
CerealsDB—new tools for the analysis of the wheat genome: update 2020
Abstract CerealsDB (www.cerealsdb.uk.net) is an online repository of mainly hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genotyping data. The... -
Assessing the evolution of wheat grain traits during the last 166 years using...
The current study focuses on yield and nutritional quality changes of wheat grain over the last 166 years. It is based on wheat grain quality analyses carried out on samples... -
Tolerance to oxidative stress is associated with both oxidative stress respon...
Reactive oxygen species are toxic byproducts of aerobic respiration that are also important in mediating a diversity of cellular functions. Reactive oxygen species form an... -
Mapping sites of gibberellin biosynthesis in the Arabidopsis root tip
Root elongation depends on the action of the gibberellin (GA) growth hormones, which promote cell production in the root meristem and cell expansion in the elongation zone.... -
Global Wheat Head Detection (GWHD) Dataset: A Large and Diverse Dataset of Hi...
The detection of wheat heads in plant images is an important task for estimating pertinent wheat traits including head population density and head characteristics such as... -
Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria on the Growth of Wheat Seedlings Su...
Certain phosphorous solubilizing (PSB) and phosphorous mineralizing (PMB) bacteria may improve plant growth by improving nutrient availability. The aim of this work was to... -
Strategies to improve wheat for human health
Despite their economic importance and growing demand, concerns are emerging around wheat-based foods and human health. Most wheat-based foods are made from refined white flour... -
Do modern types of wheat have lower quality for human health?
Wheat is the major staple food in Western Europe and an important source of energy, protein, dietary fibre, minerals, B vitamins and phytochemicals. Plant breeders have been... -
Comparative Genomics and Functional Studies of Wheat BED-NLR Loci
Nucleotide-binding leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) receptors (NLRs) with non-canonical integrated domains (NLR-IDs) are widespread in plant genomes. Zinc-finger BED (named after the... -
A haplotype-led approach to increase the precision of wheat breeding
Crop productivity must increase at unprecedented rates to meet the needs of the growing worldwide population. Exploiting natural variation for the genetic improvement of crops... -
Improving starch and fibre in wheat grain for human health
Reducing the prevalence of diet-related diseases, including obesity and type 2 diabetes, is a major challenge for health professionals, food manufacturers and governments in... -
New insights into homoeologous copy number variations in the hexaploid wheat ...
Bread wheat is an allohexaploid species originating from two successive and recent rounds of hybridization between three diploid species that were very similar in terms of... -
