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... -
Hotspots in the genomic architecture of field drought responses in wheat as b...
Wheat can adapt to most agricultural conditions across temperate regions. This success is the result of phenotypic plasticity conferred by a large and complex genome composed of... -
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... -
Gene editing and mutagenesis reveal inter-cultivar differences and additivity...
The TaGW2 gene homoeologues have been reported to be negative regulators of grain size (GS) and thousand grain weight (TGW) in wheat. However, the contribution of each... -
The early inflorescence of Arabidopsis thaliana demonstrates positional effec...
Most flowering plants, including the genetic model Arabidopsis thaliana, produce multiple flowers in sequence from a reproductive shoot apex to form a flower spike... -
Response of cell-wall composition and RNA-seq transcriptome to methyl-jasmona...
Jasmonic acid (JA) signalling is required for many stress responses in plants, inducing large changes in the transcriptome, including up-regulation of transcripts associated... -
Dual effect of the wheat Ph1 locus on chromosome synapsis and crossover
Allopolyploids must possess a mechanism for facilitating synapsis and crossover (CO) between homologues, in preference to homoeologues (related chromosomes), to ensure... -
Short periods of high temperature during meiosis prevent normal meiotic progr...
This study assesses the effects of heat on meiotic progression and grain number in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Chinese Spring), defines a heat-sensitive stage and... -
Determination of the prebiotic activity of wheat arabinogalactan peptide (AGP...
Purpose To test the prebiotic activity of wheat arabinogalactan-peptide (AGP), which is a soluble dietary fibre composed of arabinogalactan polysaccharide linked to a 15-residue... -
VERNALIZATION1 controls developmental responses of winter wheat under high am...
Low temperatures are required to regulate the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth via a pathway called vernalization. In wheat, vernalization predominantly...
