Advances in Barley Breeding for Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency
Crop breeding for high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) or tolerance to low nitrogen fertilization is thought to be an ideal solution to reduce the cost, carbon footprint, and... -
Variation in the Content and Composition of Tocols in a Wheat Population
Wheat is a well-known source of B vitamins but also contains significant amounts of vitamin E and related tocols, which have a number of positive health benefits. However, there... -
Genetic Diversity in Nitrogen Fertiliser Responses and N Gas Emission in Mode...
Crops assimilate nitrogen (N) as ammonium via the glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase (GS/GOGAT) pathway which is of central importance for N uptake and potentially... -
Characterisation of Grains and Flour Fractions from Field Grown Transgenic Oi...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staple crops in the world and is used to prepare a range of foods. The development of new varieties with wider variation in... -
The Use and Limitations of Exome Capture to Detect Novel Variation in the Hex...
The bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) pangenome is a patchwork of variable regions, including translocations and introgressions from progenitors and wild relatives. Although a... -
Generation of Doubled Haploid Wheat-Triticum urartu Introgression Lines and T...
Wheat is one of the most important food and protein sources in the world and although, in recent years wheat breeders have achieved yield gains, they are not sufficient to meet... -
The Effects of Brief Heat During Early Booting on Reproductive, Developmental...
Rising temperatures due to climate change threaten agricultural crop productivity. As a cool-season crop, wheat is heat-sensitive, but often exposed to high temperatures during... -
Understanding the Relationships between Free Asparagine in Grain and Other Tr...
Since the discovery of acrylamide in food, and the identification of free asparagine as the key determinant of acrylamide concentration in wheat products, our understanding of... -
Ensembl Genomes 2022: an expanding genome resource for non-vertebrates
Abstract Ensembl Genomes (https://www.ensemblgenomes.org) provides access to non-vertebrate genomes and analysis complementing vertebrate resources developed by the Ensembl... -
PHI-base in 2022: a multi-species phenotype database for Pathogen–Host Intera...
Abstract Since 2005, the Pathogen–Host Interactions Database (PHI-base) has manually curated experimentally verified pathogenicity, virulence and effector genes from fungal,... -
Disruption of the Nα-Acetyltransferase NatB Causes Sensitivity to Reductive S...
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the evolutionary conserved N-terminal acetyltransferase (Nat) complexes NatA and NatB co-translationally acetylate 60% of the proteome. Both have... -
A Duplicated Copy of the Meiotic Gene ZIP4 Preserves up to 50% Pollen Viabili...
Although most flowering plants are polyploid, little is known of how the meiotic process evolves after polyploidisation to stabilise and preserve fertility. On wheat... -
Next Generation dsRNA-Based Insect Control: Success So Far and Challenges
RNA interference (RNAi) is a method of gene silencing where dsRNA is digested into small interfering RNA (siRNA) in the presence of enzymes. These siRNAs then target homologous... -
Capturing and Selecting Senescence Variation in Wheat
Senescence is a highly quantitative trait, but in wheat the genetics underpinning senescence regulation remain relatively unknown. To select senescence variation and ultimately... -
Wheat Developmental Traits as Affected by the Interaction between Eps-7D and ...
Earliness per se (Eps) genes are important to fine tune adaptation, and studying their probable pleiotropic effect on wheat yield traits is worthwhile. In addition, it has been... -
Effect of Flowering Time-Related Genes on Biomass, Harvest Index, and Grain Y...
Grain yield (YLD) is a function of the total biomass (BM) and of partitioning the biomass by grains, i.e., the harvest index (HI). The most critical developmental stage for... -
Rapid Generation and Analysis of a Barley Doubled Haploid Line with Higher Ni...
Creating varieties with high nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is crucial for sustainable agriculture development. In this study, a superior barley doubled haploid line (named DH45)... -
Effect of Intake of Food Hydrocolloids of Bacterial Origin on the Glycemic Re...
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by increased blood glucose levels from dysfunctional carbohydrate metabolism. Dietary intervention can help to prevent and... -
Wheat ATIs: Characteristics and Role in Human Disease
Amylase/trypsin-inhibitors (ATIs) comprise about 2–4% of the total wheat grain proteins and may contribute to natural defense against pests and pathogens. However, they are... -
Molecular Diversity within a Mediterranean and European Panel of Tetraploid W...
High-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) molecular markers are widely used to assess the genetic variability of plant varieties and cultivars, which is nowadays...
